Alebtong, Uganda | Deputy Resident District Commissioner Mathias Lutwama has commissioned a series of government projects in Alebtong District, saying they are aimed at stimulating trade, improving access to markets, and enhancing household livelihoods.
The commissioning exercise, conducted on Thursday 29 January, 2026, covered key sectors including roads, water, sanitation, and education.
Lutwama said the developments reflect government’s efforts to create an enabling environment for economic activities in rural areas.
A highlight of the projects was the Okodi Acur Road in Alebtong Town Council, a strategic route linking traders from Alebtong to the Karamoja sub-region.
Local leaders noted the road will ease transportation of cattle, maize, and rice, and strengthen cross-regional trade.
In Amugu Sub-county, a Shs235 million water supply project was commissioned at Aminoko Village.
The facility will provide clean water for households and support small-scale irrigation, helping farming families increase productivity and incomes.
Education and sanitation also featured in the projects.
A five-stance pit latrine at Iyama Primary School in Aloi Sub-county was completed under the Sector Development Grant, improving hygiene standards for pupils.
A four-classroom block worth Shs93.9 million was also commissioned at Tyengar Primary School in Abako Sub-county to ease congestion caused by rising enrollment under the Universal Primary Education programme.
Lutwama urged communities to safeguard the facilities and make full use of them, emphasizing that government projects are designed to empower citizens economically and socially.
Residents and local leaders welcomed the interventions, saying improved infrastructure and access to markets will enhance business opportunities and raise standards of living across the district.
