Our Vision: Is having a healthy population with functional skills, improved household income and sustainable development by the year 2025.

 

Our Mission: Is to serve the community through coordinated delivery services which focus on national priorities and significant local needs in order to promote sustainable development in Kibaale District.

 

The district location puts it in a region that is not served with key development infrastructure like tarmac roads, Piped water. Being a border district, it is vulnerable to insecurity from neighboring countries and burdens of managing refugees and communicable diseases.

 

This website is established as way of ensuring transparence, accountability and a channel of getting feedback from our people.

 

We encourage all stakeholders in the development of Kibaale district to utilize the website as a channel of communication.
