Professor Pamela Mbabazi from the National Planning Authority shared Uganda's big plans for using young people to build the country. She talked about these ideas before World Population Day events happened in Kayunga District on Friday. Uganda has 45.9 million people living there right at this moment. More than 70 percent of these citizens are younger than 30 years old. Mbabazi said these young folks represent the most important resource Uganda has available.
The professor wants the government to focus on several key areas for helping young people succeed. Quality healthcare must reach every community across the nation. Schools need to teach useful skills that prepare students for real jobs. Companies should create good work opportunities for young men and women. Local communities must lead their development projects from the bottom up.
Mbabazi believes the Parish Development Model can make all these dreams come true. This program brings government services straight to rural villages and towns. Communities can plan and manage their development work without waiting for distant officials. Health programs work better when they start at the parish level. People feel more connected to projects they help create and run.
The planning authority wants everyone to work together on these goals. Government agencies must partner with private businesses and community groups. Development organizations should join the effort to build a stronger Uganda. Every citizen deserves chances to live healthy and productive lives. Success depends on teamwork between all these different groups working toward shared objectives.
