Projects under OPM :………………………………………….page 37 1 Introduction Acholi sub-region is comprised of 08 districts, namely; Agago, Amuru, Gulu, Kitgum, Lamwo, Nwoya, Omoro and Pader districts. It has a total population of 1,580,300 people as per the UBOS figures of 2014 Population Census. It has 01 City, 01 Municipality, 18 Constituencies with 77 Sub- counties and 364 Parishes and 2,845 villages. THE FOLLOWING FUNDS ARE IN THE MANIFESTO FOR JOB AND WEALTH CREATION 1. Capitalization of UDB with shillings one trillion in 2020/21 financial year. Before this, UDB had been capitalized by close to Shs. 400 billion. This fund is supposed to address the high cost of money the commercial banks charge. This fund will be accessed by those investing in value addition, agriculture production, tourism and education infrastructure at an interest not more than 12%. 2. Capitalization of UDC. This financial year, UDC was capitalized with Sh. 130 billion. UDC will invest in agro processing factories in every sub region in Uganda to process what is locally produced. 3. In Northern Uganda after NUSAF 1, II and III and PRDP I, II and III which focused mainly of social infrastructure, we are going to introduce PRDP 4 which will be focusing on household incomes on top of OWC. With the above funds, Ugandans in different economic activities will be reached. We will also promote serviced industrial parks in various regions of Uganda to promote job creation. Other areas of interest are: 1. Land Fragmentation. 2 2. School charges that are leading children from poor families to drop out of school. A proposal to have village assemblies to discuss this matter. 3. NRM is studying the issue of school feeding. 4. Through the use of technology, we are going to eliminate the stealing of drugs in government health centers. The same technology which we have started rolling out in Regional Referral Hospitals will also eliminate absenteeism of health workers. It will be rolled out to all health centres. FACTORIES 1. Government through UDC bought shares in Atiak Sugar Factory which has already started producing sugar. Furthermore, through Naads/OWC, government has helped about 7,000 households in Amuru and Lamwo plant sugarcane as out-growers. Under this program, government carried out bush clearing, ploughing, planting and weeding for the out-growers who are organized in farmer Cooperatives. The out-growers will be earning income by selling sugarcane to the factory. 2. The NRM Government through UDC is going to work with the Arch Diocese of Gulu to establish Starch Factory in Gulu. OWC has been working with the Catholic Church to mobilise farmers in Acholi to plant cassava. The factory will offer a market to the cassava farmers. UDC is carrying out a feasibility study which is expected to be completed in January 2021. Sh 14 billion has been put aside to start off the project. 3. Furthermore, the NRM through UDC is going to buy shares in Bukona Agro factory, located in Nwoya, which is processing ethanol from cassava. The ethanol produced will be for cooking as opposed to the one for spirits. UDC is going to invest Shs 11 billion to buy shares and another Sh 12 billion as working capital. The ministry of finance has already released the money to UDC. This too will create a market for the cassava farmers in Acholi. 4. Naads/OWC is in the process of procurement of a fruit processing 3 plant to be located in Nwoya. Government is working with a private entity “Delight” in this venture. After installation of the equipment, UDC will bring in working capital. The above four factories will bring wealth to the farmers in Acholi who are planting sugarcane, cassava and fruits. On cassava each of the two factories above needs about 8,000 acres of cassava to supply it. It’s estimated that at the moment 10,000 acres are under cassava plantation in Acholi. Out of these, about 7,000 acres is cassava planted through the Church mobilization. It’s estimated that from one acre of cassava the yield is 2 tons annually. The factories will be buying a ton at Sh 2.5 million, hence, from one acre, a farmer can earn Sh 5 million. PAYMENTS TO VETERANS 1. Since 2010, government through the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs has been handling payments of Veterans especially their pension and gratuity arrears which accumulated due the state of economy at the time of the first discharge of retirees in 1992. 2. Since 2015, MODVA took a decision to retire its personnel after identification of funds and because of this policy there is no backlog of pensions and gratuity since then. The outcry remains with those whose retirement was before 2014. 3. The countrywide backlog payments has been reduced from 154,537 retirees to 68,629 retirees due for payment. The amounts due keep accumulating until day of payment. 4. This financial year 2020/21, a total of 11,000 retirees will be paid from the 90Bn shillings already released to the Ministry of Defence. During FY 2021/22, another 90 Bn shillings will be released to pay the remaining 14,033 claimants. The 43,000 claimants who have not turned up for document verification will also be handled if they turn up to claim. Verification of documents is necessary due to the time lag between discharge date and today to avoid fraud. 4 CATTLE COMPENSATION Your Excellency, while in Lango last week, you promised that government was going to allocate Sh 50 billion each to Acholi, Lango and Teso for cattle compensation.

  • LAND CONFLICT MONITORING and MAPPING TOOL for the Acholi Sub-Region
    LAND CONFLICT MONITORING and MAPPING TOOL for the Acholi Sub-region Final Report - March 2013 Research conducted under the United Nations Peacebuilding Programme in Uganda by Human Rights Focus EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In a context of land disputes as a potential major conflict driver, the UN Peacebuilding Programme (PBP) commissioned Human Rights Focus (HURIFO) to develop a tool to monitor and map land disputes throughout Acholi. The overall purpose of this project is to obtain and analyse data that enhance understanding of land disputes, and through this to inform policy, advocacy, and other relevant interventions on land rights, security, and access in the sub-region. Two rounds of quantitative data collection have been undertaken comprehensively across the sub-region, in February/March and September/October 2012, along with further qualitative work and analysis of relevant literature. In order to maximise its contribution to urgently needed understanding of land disputes in Acholi, the project has sought to map and collect data not simply on the numbers and types of land disputes, but also on the substrata: the nature of the landholdings on which disputes are taking place; how land is used and controlled, and by whom. KEY FINDINGS • Over 90% of rural land is understood by the people who live there as under communal control/ownership. These communal land owners are variously understood as clans, sub-clans or extended families. • The overall number of discrete rural land disputes is declining significantly. Findings suggest that disputes are being resolved at a rate of about 50% over a six-month period. First-round research indicated that total land disputes between September/ October 2011 and February/March 2012 numbered about 4,300; second-round data identified just over 2,100 total disputes over the period between April and August/ September 2012.
