The president claims he has the real answer to youth joblessness. Yoweri Museveni told NRM leaders in West Nile that employment solutions lie in the private sector, not government positions. He referenced past wealth creation initiatives like Entandikwa and Operation Wealth Creation, aimed at providing startup capital.
Museveni highlighted a poultry farmer from Kamuli District who began with a small plot. That individual now sells thousands of egg trays daily, earning millions and employing hundreds locally. This example proves wealth and jobs can be built inside Uganda through enterprise, according to the president.
He defended the Parish Development Model as a direct capital injection for citizens over eighteen through local SACCOs. The program targets those without savings or access to traditional bank loans. Museveni argued this approach enables small business start-ups and self-generated employment.
Industrialization remains another core strategy for job creation cited by the president. He pointed to Mbale Industrial Park with dozens of factories employing thousands of young people. A similar park in Namanve hosts hundreds more factories with tens of thousands of workers.
Museveni challenged local leaders to secure a large land parcel for an industrial park in West Nile. He promised to attract investors to establish factories in the region, framing it as the strategic answer to unemployment. The president framed his economic policies as a definitive response that he will stand by.
