WAMBEDE IVAN :
Me as teacher of economics and entrepreneurship, In my opinion, Uganda should stop confusing economic growth with actual development because development is a long-term process that goes beyond increasing GDP figures or constructing a few roads. True development is reflected in improved living standards, quality education, better healthcare, productive employment, strong industries, reduced poverty, and equitable distribution of opportunities among citizens. Leaders and citizens who constantly celebrate “development” while many youths remain unemployed, farmers earn little, and households struggle with the cost of living should understand that growth without transformation is incomplete. For Uganda to build a real middle-class economy, there must be mindset change from both leaders and citizens shifting from dependency, politics of survival, and consumption towards productivity, innovation, entrepreneurship, accountability, saving, and long-term investment in human capital and industrialisation. because we have had many programs like NDPI, NDPII, NDPIII. emyoga, bonabagagawale, PDM,Youth livelihood, operation wealth creation, very good programs but as youths we are not involved at all.
