A total of 40 Resident District Commissioners/Resident City Commissioners, Deputies and Assistants have been sent to India for entrepreneur training.
The training runs from September 18 to October 1, 2025, 2025, at NIESBUD, Noida, to equip them with skills in livelihood generation and socio-economic transformation.
Indian High Commissioner Upender Singh Rawat reaffirmed India–Uganda ties, emphasizing India’s commitment to skills development through programs supporting nations of the Global South.
“Uganda remains a true friend to India,” said Hajji Yunus Kakande.
Hajji Yunus Kakande said, “These RDCs are field staff representing the President. Enhancing their skills empowers them to mobilize, oversee security & evaluate gov’t programs in their districts.”
Another 40 slots for training may be offered in the future.
Maj. Martha Asiimwe urged RDCs to stay disciplined and professional during training: “Respect facilitators, follow rules and learn from India’s advanced programs to drive socio-economic transformation back home.”
This is the second cohort following an earlier group of 20 RDCs, with plans underway for additional slots, strengthening Uganda-India partnership in skills development, entrepreneurship, and livelihood promotion.
