Operation Wealth Creation (OWC)
Operation Wealth Creation was set up in 2014 and UPDF officers were appointed to implement the programme.
The Mission of OWC is to improve on household incomes for poverty eradication, wealth creation and overall prosperity of Ugandans through facilitation of sustainable commercial agricultural production.
The overall goal is to enhance household participation in commercial agricultural production through community mobilization, equitable and timely distribution of agricultural inputs, and facilitation of agricultural production chains.
