The sub-counties of Uganda are divided into parishes, which are further divided into villages. These parishes are governed by a local council II (LCII) committee and parish chief. The parish chief is a government employee that provides technical leadership to the LCII. LCIIs are made up all of the chairmen from the village local council I (LCI) committees in the parish and are responsible for settling land disputes and community outreach.[1]

## Parish Development Model

[edit]

Main article: Parish Development Model

President Yoweri Museveni introduced the Parish Development Model in February 2022 as a program for poverty eradication.[2] This seven-pillared model revolves around the parish as the smallest subdivision for economic and social development in Uganda.[3] The program aims to elevate the 39% of Uganda's population who currently live in subsistence economy to market economy.

As of May 2023, the program has been marred by missed deadlines and challenges associated with a lack of national infrastructure.[2]
