Kyatto
Area Neighbourhood Assembly in Kayonza Sub County Kayunga district,
yesterday (29th August 2013) handed to the district leadership the
contribution towards construction of a hand dug well. Items included
1tonne of sand, concrete stones, bricks and,Uganda Shillings 200,000.(Some Pics herewith)
Kayunga
district Vice Chairperson, Mr. Ouma Joseph who officiated the ceremony
appreciated the project; vertical tracking (PETS) which he said had
brought a new chapter and approach to service delivery by the
technocrats in the district. On the N/As he applauded community
involvement and participation in poverty eradication programmes.
Promised to use Kyatto N/A as the focal structure during the new NAADS
phase that targets clonal coffee growing and bee keeping to reduce
poverty.
He
said that though the contribution comes in after the 2013/2014 FY has
rolled on, Kawolokota Primary School (the proposed site for the well in
order to avail clean water to pupils) would receive more attention. He
added that the district would make an extra effort or even effect
re-allocation of the earlier planned water points.

The
N/A committee members were scheduled (by the Chairman) to meet and
present their contribution to the entire council on Tuesday 3rd
September 2013. We really hope for the best!!
The
District Chairperson - Eng. Dagada sent you all greetings and is
grateful for the website, and radio talk shows that enabled him reach
all corners of his district. That Kayunga district budget would not have
afforded talk shows on a radio station such as Simba fm!

The power of citizens platforms being felt in Kayunga indicates how citizens driven actions are result oriented. Rose, we need to share these good experiences with the rest of the country to show people power in poverty reduction and service delivery. The same action was done in Nyantungo in Kyenjojo district when the community donated land for a health center, bricks and cash of shs. 200,000/ on follow up, Kyenjojo district has allocated funds and requested the community write formally how they have allocated the land to the district for construction of health facility.

I can now see that the neighbourhood assemblies have started bearing the sweet fruits. Kyatto NA has showed that when the citizens realize that service delivery is to their benefit, they take the responsibility to ensure their participation. Civic competeence is understanding and desire to be an active member of a democracy which is the ability and willingness to engage in active participation, based on an attitude of trust in other people. Am proud that leaders in Kayunga embraced the concerns of the NA. I appreciate the best practice of engaging the local government with the local contribution as it is in the case of Nyantungo subcounty and Kyatto subcounty. This shows that the community is committed to sustain the service if provided. Bravo to the team.
