To boost agricultural productivity, Ahabwe said the district will continue supporting farmers through micro-irrigation schemes aimed at increasing food production and improving household incomes.
Under the water sector, Rubanda District will focus on completing the Bushuura Water Supply System at a cost of Shs 53 million and protecting six natural springs at an estimated cost of Shs 20 million to expand access to safe and clean water.
In road infrastructure, the district will prioritize the construction of road crossings and routine road maintenance to improve connectivity and ease transportation within the district.
