Uganda: President Museveni applauds global hunger project

(SomaliNet) Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni has commended Global Hunger Project for supplementing the Government’s efforts in ensuring that each homestead has sufficient food.

The Ugandan leader, however, advised the management of the project to prioritise income security that will enable homesteads emerge from poverty.

Mr. Museveni made the remarks yesterday at a meeting with the director of the project, Jill Lester, who called on him at State House, Entebbe.

Global Hunger Project is an NGO that operates in Kiruhura, Wakiso, Mpigi, Iganga, Kiboga and Mbale districts.
