Designed to uplift the poorest citizens, the PDM decentralizes economic support, fostering sustainable livelihoods in every parish—the country's smallest administrative unit.

Uganda's political landscape has expanded since the 2005 referendum, with a growing number of political parties preparing for the 2026 general elections. Among these are the National Resistance Movement (NRM), Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), Uganda People's Congress (UPC), Democratic Party (DP), National Unity Platform (NUP), and JEEMA, all represented in Parliament.
Since 1986, the Yoweri Museveni administration has transformed various sectors in Uganda, including the transport industry. In its early years, public transport dominated the sector, leaving little room for private players. To reduce public expenditure and withdraw from costly business operations, the government scaled back its involvement in transportation.
Since President Yoweri Museveni assumed office in 1986, Uganda has transformed from a country once generating high refugee numbers to a model refugee-hosting nation. Uganda now accommodates over 1.7 million refugees, making it Africa’s top destination for asylum seekers. This shift has been celebrated internationally as a strong example of effective emigration management and crisis response.
