The implementation of the Government’s Parish Development Model is taking shape in Mbale District with some success stories.



Sarah Nagudi a resident of Kyesula village, Bunamahe parish in Budwale Sub County in Mbale District does not regret receiving Parish Development Model funds. Nagudi a member of Kyesula Onion Association says that she received one million shillings under the parish development model programme. According to Nagudi, she harvested one thousand kilogrammes of onion and on selling, she got three million shillings. Nagudi says the money has enabled her to diversify into other ventures.

Iddi Musamali a resident of Nambale village, Bushikori parish, Bungokho Sub County in Mbale District is a member of Nambale Fish Farming Association. According to Musamali his association got 15 million shillings from the Parish Development Model programme with each member getting one million shillings each. Musamali says they have been able to use the proceeds from fish farming to venture into dairy farming.

Speaking on the sidelines of a Parish Development Model (PDM) meeting held at Mbale Secondary School on Wednesday, George Davidson Wanakina the Mbale District PDM Focal Person said despite the success stories, some cases of extortion and corruption by some technical officers and Sacco leaders have been reported and handled expeditiously.
