{UAH} Allan: "We must attain middle income status by 2020 "- Rugunda

Allan,

Finally our friends are serious! Should Ugandans  celebrate?

What middle income status means

For a common Ugandan, Muvawala said middle income status means on average, each individual in a household should earn or produce an equivalent of sh290, 000 per month or sh3.5m per annum.

He said every individual in a household should afford at least two meals a day (equivalent to at least 1,500kilo calories of food per day).

"On average, each member of the household should be able to complete ordinary level of education (attain 11 years of schooling). At last 2.2 million (from the current 1.03 million) out of 7.3 million households should have access to electricity by 2020," he explained.

He also stated that all urban households and at least 4.8 million (80%) of the 6 million rural households should access safe water.

The question is, where is Uganda now and will it achieve that status in the remaining 4 years to 2020?
