Ever since the NRM government came in power in 1986, several poverty eradication schemes have been introduced. Some have tried while others have totally failed.

In 2019, government yet again introduced another scheme ‘Emyooga’ with the aim of creating jobs and improving household names across the country. It was entrusted to Minister of Microfinance Hon Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo.

According to the Emyooga Task force who are headed by RDC’s of different cities, the team or groups before receiving the emyooga funding are taken for training on how to manage the funds and also generate more income from the funding.
