Empowering the Basoga with A Step Toward Wealth Creation and Economic Growth

Empowering the Basoga with A Step Toward Wealth Creation and Economic Growth

I was happy to see that the Basoga are getting out of poverty. At the time of independence in 1962, only 19% of Ugandans were in the money economy, leaving 81% outside it. The challenge then was underdevelopment and underutilisation of resources. The Basoga are hardworking and have historically participated in the money economy through crops like cotton and sugarcane, but they often lacked "ekibalo"to maximize profits. I am therefore glad to see that people are waking up and listening to what we have been preaching about wealth creation. I will meet with the local leaders tomorrow.
