Minister Amongi further disclosed that, starting from this financial year, the government had initiated the disbursal of institutional funds through the National Women’s Council National Secretariat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These funds aim to facilitate women leaders in fulfilling their roles and responsibilities, particularly in mobilizing communities to participate in government programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As leaders at the Parish level, your role is to ensure that women benefit from the 30% allocation under the Parish Development Model,” Amongi emphasized. She further emphasized that the program had been designed to guarantee women’s representation in the Parish Development Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to their involvement in government programs, the minister urged women to foster harmonious homes, as this directly impacts the community and national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
