NRM Ten Point Programme
These are the same reasons which explain the causes of the NRM revolution or the reasons why Museveni went to the bush.
1. Promotion of democracy. By promoting parliamentary and popular democracy through local councils (LCs).
2. Promotion of security for all people and their property to eliminate state instigated violence.
3. Consolidation of national unity and elimination of all forms of sectarianism.
4. Defending and consolidating national independence in order to determine the future of our economic policies, culture and diplomacy.
5. Building an independent, integrated and self sustaining national economy. This was to be done through:
Diversifying agriculture
Building industries in the import substitution sector
Aggressive industrialisation
Construction of basic industries
Acquiring computer technology
Avoidance of the dependence on others
6. Restoration and improvement of social services and rehabilitation of the war ravaged areas.
7. Elimination of corruption and misuse of power.
8. Redressing errors that have resulted into the dislocation of sections of the population and improvement of others through:
Settling people that have been displaced by ill thought development projects or sheer illegal land grabbing.
Settling the Karamojong
Relieving the plight of salary earners.
9. Co-operation with other African countries in defending human and democratic rights of our brothers in other parts of Africa.
10. Following an economic strategy of the mixed economy.
The movement Conference which took place at Jinja in July 1999 came up with five more points to add to the ten and made it a fifteen point programme. The following are the five new points.
• Financing of public infrastructure using internal borrowing and creation of employment in the country.
• Focused human resource development and capacity building in the technical and service sector.
• Preservation and development of our culture.
• Consolidation of programmes, which are responsive to gender and marginalised groups.
• Environmental management and protection.
