Cognizant of this fact, The Microfinance Support Centre – the lead implementing Government agency for Emyooga – prioritized mind set change during the pre-disbursement trainings as well as monitoring and capacity building activities, to instill a culture of saving among the population to enable them fully benefit from the program.

Going by the available statistics on savings across the board, this gospel is slowly but steadily taking root among the population.

During a monitoring tour to assess progress of Emyooga program in greater Masaka, Minister of State for Finance Planning and Economic Development in charge of Microfinance, Hajj Haruna Kasolo Kyeyune cautioned beneficiaries no desist from lending to irregular members, even when they raise the required amounts.
