He urged leaders not to fear the assessment, stating that it is meant to evaluate the effectiveness of their work, identify challenges, and find ways to enhance service delivery to the people.
The assessment aims to provide the Buganda Kingdom leadership with insights into the performance of different sectors in Ssingo, guiding future interventions to improve services and strengthen governance. Additionally, it offers officials a platform to share experiences and identify practical solutions to challenges facing communities in Ssingo and other counties within Buganda.
