    The impact of parish development model on household income in Jinja city: a case study of Old Boma ward, South division
    (Uganda Christian University, 2026-04-28) Alice Tusubira
    This study examined the impact of the Parish Development Model (PDM) on household income among beneficiaries in Old Boma Ward, Jinja City Southern Division. Poverty remains one of Uganda’s major development challenges, so the government introduced the PDM in 2022 in addition to other programs to move households engaged in subsistence activities into the money economy. The Parish development model was aimed to support households at the parish level by offering them easier access to revolving funds and therefore enterprise support. This study aimed to assess how the model has improved household income and in return overall household welfare through improving their income generation activities and abilities. The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design and used both quantitative and qualitative methods. Data was collected from beneficiaries and parish leaders through questionnaires and interviews in order to get the perspective of the beneficiaries but also of the implementers and community leaders for a 360 view. Asking a variety of stakeholders was also very useful in coming up with more reasonable and achievable solutions to the faced problems.
