Kampala — THE Post Conflict Fund for pilot micro projects worth 40,000 in 10 selected districts will be ready soon.
The grant, also meant to reinforce the coordination and monitoring capacity of the Office of the Prime Minister, is from the World Bank, the state minister for northern Uganda, David Wakikona, said.
He was on Tuesday briefing Parliament on the Peace Recovery Plan. The minister, however, did not mention the districts.
He said 200 people out of the targeted 242 received resettlement benefits in Gulu in September.
Between July and September 2008, Wakikona said, 68 reporters were received from Joseph Kony's LRA and were issued amnesty certificates and 81 were trained in life- saving skills at Lalogi sub-county. He said the programme would cost sh3 trillion this financial year.
The Government also provided additional sh25.8b for the 40 districts in the north.
