We shall continue to implement a strategy of afforestation and reforestation by involving all the local administration, and formulate a policy that will ensure that school children become active participants in tree planting and other environmental issues. We shall promote the use of brickets as an alternative use to charcoal and wood fuel, with a purpose of slowing down the destruction of our forests. Development Finance
We shall capitalize the Uganda Development Bank with a view of pursuing long-term borrowing especially in the processing of raw materials and the Housing Finance Company for mortgage financing to the housing sector. We shall further encourage the private sector to invest in mortgage financing.
