The Ugandan government has doubled the duration of its cattle restocking program in Northern Uganda, extending it from five to ten years. State Minister for Northern Uganda Rehabilitation, Beatrice Akello Akori, announced the extension on Saturday, citing the need to ensure all eligible households receive cattle. The program aims to rehabilitate communities impacted by past instability through livestock provision. This expansion signifies a continued commitment to rural development and economic empowerment in the region. Officials believe the longer timeframe will address logistical challenges and reach more beneficiaries. The initiative is designed to improve livelihoods and promote sustainable agriculture in Northern Uganda. Further details regarding specific criteria for eligibility were not immediately available.
