Government Hands Over 18 Vehicles to OWC Regional Coordinators To Strengthen Programme Oversight

The Government of Uganda has handed over 18 new vehicles to Regional Coordinators under Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) to enhance mobility and strengthen the monitoring and supervision of government-funded development programmes across the country.

The fleet, comprising Toyota Hilux pickups, minibuses and Isuzu vehicles, is expected to improve the coordinators’ capacity to oversee the implementation of key government initiatives, including the Parish Development Model (PDM), Emyooga, infrastructure and construction projects, as well as other development interventions across the regions.

While handing over the vehicles at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds, the OWC Transport Officer, Major Moses Muwakanya, urged the recipients to prioritise road safety, proper vehicle management and regular maintenance in accordance with manufacturers’ guidelines.

Maj Muwakanya said responsible use and proper upkeep of the vehicles would ensure they remain effective in supporting field operations and programme implementation.

The deployment of the new fleet is expected to enhance the efficiency of Regional Coordinators by improving field mobility, programme monitoring, accountability and coordination.

The vehicles will support OWC’s efforts to strengthen oversight of government programmes aimed at improving household incomes, expanding economic opportunities and accelerating socio-economic transformation across the country.
