Government has reduced the budget for the implementation of the Parish Development Model from Shs490 billion to Shs200 billion for the first phase because of shortage of funds.  
The money is to be shared across all the 10,460 parishes for the preparatory phase in the first quarter of the next financial year
The initiative is the latest of government attempts at lifting the nearly 68 per cent of households from subsistence economy to commercial production to reduce poverty.
