AMOLATAR __ The Deputy Resident District Commissioner (DRDC) of Amolatar District, Mr. Obonyo Magwar, has rallied stakeholders in the district to support women in their vision to add value to production, saying the initiative is key to transforming livelihoods.
Magwar made the remarks while attending a monthly savings meeting for members of Amolatar Women’s Mills in Amolatar Town Council.
According to the group, members unanimously agreed to officially revamp the value addition section of their facility by the end of November 2026. The revamp will involve installation of all five planned value addition mills to boost production, bulking and marketing among women.
The facility, situated along Ochero Road in Amolatar Town Council, was donated by H.E. the President of the Republic of Uganda, Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, in 2010.
Magwar said the five modern mills will be used to process maize, rice and cassava, adding that the women also plan to recruit an accountant and an armed askari to strengthen management and security at the facility.
Poultry Expo 2026
In the same meeting, the women resolved to host the Amolatar Poultry Expo 2026 at the facility on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, starting at 8:00am.
The expo, which will focus on showcasing value addition in the poultry value chain, is expected to attract women from across the district.
Amolatar District Woman MP, Hon. Jannet Auma Okao, has been invited to officially open the expo, while the Minister of Youth and Children’s Affairs, Hon. Mercy Lakica, is expected to preside over the closing ceremony.
According to the organizers, the expo will feature exhibitions, trainings, sharing of ideas in organized stalls, and pictorial displays.
Meanwhile Deputy RDC Magwar added that; “The exhibition will include packaging of chicken products, herbal and conventional poultry treatment methods, and poultry variety improvement methods, including castrating in-breed cocks for better quality,” Magwar explained.
The women said they have dispatched messengers to invite the Woman MP and the Minister to grace the occasion, which they hope will transform business around the poultry value chain and play a big role in socio-economic transformation.
“All women in Amolatar District are invited in big number for the special cleaning day and the expo slated for October 30, 2026 and November 25, 2026 respectively,” the group said.
Commissioner Obonyo Magwar is a well-known performing cardre when it comes to the issue of service delivery and wealth creation.
