New Job Centre

The Ugandan Government, along with private sectors sponsorships, will be creating a center hopefully by December, where about 2000 jobs will be posted. Funded by the Job Stimulus Program, a part of the finance ministry, the center was initially started by Ugandan Youth Convention, which has already been training young people in hopes of them getting these jobs. The idea is that this center will be able to address the problem of job scarcity, but more so, the lack of jobs for the Ugandan youth. While the government and Ugandan entrepreneurs are sponsoring this new program, America and Canada will actually be providing some job offerings in different industries. The center will start will 2000 jobs, but the hope is that it will grow to at least 6000 by the end of 2011.

A campaign started by President Museveni is also talked about. The leader is trying to promote patriotism in the classroom by providing textbooks and investing in patriotism courses. Although he is trying to unite the students by putting aside their tribe difference and creating Ugandan nationality, he attacks anyone that opposes his position as ignorant.
