Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Kasana-Luweero Diocese leaders have advised beneficiaries of the parish development model to first seek training on mindset change before they take part in the government project.<\/p>\n

The model seeks to improve livelihoods through community-based development projects.<\/p>\n

The diocese said the dependence on handouts linked to the liberation war history of the early 1980s continues to derail projects that target livelihood improvement for many areas in Luweero , Nakaseke and Nakasongola districts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dependence syndrome on handouts and begging that characterises a section of the population should be dismantled through vigorous training on mindset change. We pray that the government incorporates mindset change training sessions for the Parish Model Programme to ensure its success,\u201d Fr Hillary Muhezangango, the director of Caritas programme at the diocese said last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Church, we believe that many well-intentioned projects so far rolled out by government and development partners have suffered the effect of poor mindset where a section of the population fail to own up projects, but believe in begging for survival and remain poverty stricken. As the government rolls out the parish model programme, mindset change sensitisation should be a priority,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The social development arm of the diocese has for the last two decades undertaken development projects aimed at uplifting peoples\u2019 livelihoods.<\/p>\n

Mr Joseph Lwevuze, a catechist and farmer trainer at Ntangala Rural Farmer Training Farm in Katikamu Sub- county, Luweero District, said the model should incorporate already organised community groups, including cooperatives to streamline its projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany farmers have heard about the initiative, but are yet to conceptualise what is in the pipeline. We have had a scenario where the government rolls out projects for communities and the projects fail to impact on the peoples\u2019 livelihoods,\u201d Mr Lwevuze said.<\/p>\n

Under the parish model, government plans to give at least Shs100m to each of the 10,694 parishes, starting next year as a revolving fund.<\/p>\n

The diocese Vicar General, Msgr Francis Xavier Mpanga, said empowering farmers through sensitisation can boost projects in rural areas where farming employs more than 85 per cent of the rural population.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that a bigger population in the Greater Luweero area is composed of farmers who are targeted for the parish development model programme. There should be a deliberate effort to sensitise farmers how to improve their general welfare through hard work and adapting to modern farming practices. The mindset change sessions should be deliberate and target all communities. A lifestyle that keeps people under poverty is not good,\u201d he said .<\/p>\n

The Luweero commercial officer, Mr Moses Kayimbye, who is overseeing the initiative, said mindset change will be part of the programme as it gets rolled out at the different levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative has several components. It is not true that the government is going to blindly distribute money for projects. The communities will be sensitised on the projects,\u201d Mr Kayimbye said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true that poor perceptions on projects greatly impacts productivity. The church in Luweero has been at the forefront of improving the general livelihoods of the people. The church under Caritas has the village model programme where communities have been mobilised for development projects. Mindset change sessions will add value to the parish model programme,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The parish model initiative aims at springing the nearly 39 per cent of households from subsistence economy to commercial production.<\/p>\n

It encompases seven pillars including production, infrastructure and economic services, financial inclusion and social services .<\/p>\n

The others are community data (community information system), governance and administration, and mindset change .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
