Women movements across the country have rejected the government plan of merging the Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Programme (UWEP) with other wealth creation programmes to form the new parish model project.
The Minister of a Finance, Mr Matia Kasaija, last week informed Parliament that the government plans to merge the existing seven wealth creation programmes, among them UWEP, to finance the new project that is meant to eradicate poverty. The projects target 39 per cent of the households across the country.
