Pallisa chairman Bob Wasugirya said his district took the largest share because of good implementation of earlier projects funded by the EDF/MPP.

Wasugirya said the EDF/MPP had found it easy to deal with the district.
The conditions set by EDF included complete and timely preparation of progress reports.
Others are timely submission of annual work plans and strict adherence to the local government financial regulations. Ends
