Buliisa, August 21, 2025 — Buliisa District has today officially launched the Local Economic Development and Investment Committee (LEDIC), a key strategic initiative aimed at boosting wealth creation, job opportunities, and household incomes across the district through the Local Economic Development (LED) policy.
The launch event took place at the Buliisa District Resource Center and was officiated by the District Chief Administrative Officer, Professor Dr. Levi Musinguzi.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Musinguzi explained that the newly formed committee will play a pivotal role in mobilizing communities to make productive use of locally available resources, transforming them into sustainable and profitable economic ventures. He emphasized that the committee comprises a diverse group of stakeholders, including district technocrats, media representatives, members of NGOs and CBOs, as well as religious leaders.

Dr. Musinguzi also called on residents of Buliisa to move away from traditional communal ways of doing business and adopt modern, more productive approaches. This shift, he noted, is especially crucial as the district positions itself to tap into opportunities arising from the burgeoning oil and gas sector.
He gave the example of livestock farming, highlighting that many households keep large numbers of cows with low milk yields. He encouraged farmers to adopt modern practices that focus on fewer animals but with higher productivity, ensuring better economic returns.
