Each Epicenter is designed as a one-stop hub, housing a Health Center III, an early childhood learning center, a village bank, food stores, and a community hall where development plans are shaped by the people themselves.
Since 2022, Amuru District has received about UGX 17 billion for household-level development under the PDM. Lakang Subcounty has four parishes and in total receives about UGX 400 million annually, with beneficiaries receiving UGX 1 million each per cycle. But access to funds alone is not enough—utilization is key.
That’s where The Hunger Project’s impact in Lakang has been critical. We have cultivated a network of trained community leaders who manage Epicenter activities and lead local transformation. Through our Vision, Commitment, and Action (VCA) framework, these leaders undergo training in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, business modeling, and leadership—all grounded in mindset change.
