The parish development model was identified in NDPIII as a vehicle through which household incomes and the quality of life of Ugandans will be improved. In particular, its effective implementation could hold the key to the transformation of the 39% of Ugandans that are still in subsistence farming. The parish will be the level for conducting area-based enterprise selection and development, organization of farmers, provision of financial services, provision and coordination of social services (education, health, and water and sanitation), data collection as well as community mobilization and mindset change. The main objective of the parish model is to increase the effectiveness of the interaction between the government and its people in order to accelerate the realization of government’s long-term goal of the socio-economic transformation.
