“You army leaders, if you understand the significance of training, you will have a very good force which has no fear. Which is friendly to the people and can achieve any mission given to them because training brings knowledge and dispels ignorance. There’s no reason why you should fear even in the battlefield,” Museveni said.
Museveni added that the new institution is the apex of military learning. Apparently, its training brings knowledge and dispels ignorance.
“This new institution is the apex of military learning as its training brings knowledge and dispels ignorance. It will focus on training leaders to also lead people with a demeanor of no fear, yet with friendliness to the people. And effectively achieving any given mission.”
Museveni has encouraged the army to take training seriously because every course has got a purpose. He says that whereas they might be good at fighting with weapons, they need to be backed up with administration and planning skills.
“You must now have the capacity to deal with strategic defense issues affecting the whole country and the whole war situation in case there’s a war. To have capacity to see the starting point of a conflict and the possible end of that conflict from A to Z,” he said.
The Uganda’s National Defense College is located at Naminya, Njeru Town Council in Buikwe district.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
