The objectives of the policy are to empower the people, democratise state power and facilitate the modernisation of our communities. Under the policy, a range of powers, responsibilities and functions have been transferred to District Local Governments and Lower Local Governments. Besides, the responsibility of planning, management, raising and allocating resources has been also transferred to Local Governments. This is to enable the people take decisions which affect their lives and the communities in which they live. Busia District on an annual basis prepares a budget frame work paper as a guiding document for the local council in setting realistic development plan and therefore budgets. The fact that it is annual, it provides a basis for assesing the achievements. The formulation of this paper, passed through a number of stages commencing with the review and consideration of National Policy Direction through the Budget Call Circular and Ministrial Policies for the FY 2013/14, then holding of the District Budget Conference on 29/2/13. The conference attracted partcipants from both District Political and Technical leadership, Sub-county Political and Technical Leadership, Elders, Donor/NGO Representatives specifically, USAID, World Vision and Child Fund. The Paper was presented to the Council Committee responsible for Finance, Planning and Investment and later submitted for Consideration by the District Executive Committee.

  • FY 2018/19 Vote:507 Busia District
    LG WorkPlan Vote:507 Busia District FY 2018/19 Foreword The Approved Budget Estimates and Performance Contract were prepared in fulfillment of the Legal provisions in the Public Finance Management Act, 2015 Section 13 (3) and it requires every Accounting Officer to make a submission of the Estimates to Parliament by 1st April for review and approval by 31st May. The process for the formulation of the estimates took a participatory planning and budgeting process that commenced with consideration of Sector Guidelines, holding of a budget Conference on 26/10/2017 and submission of a Budget Framework Paper. Revised Indicative Planning Figures were then received together with revised Guidelines under the 2nd Budget Call Circular and these in addition to consultative process and technical input, enabled the District to prepare draft estimates which were approved by Council on the 29th of May, 2018 and on 11th June, 2018 Final Indicative Figures were communicated and hence the preparation of the Approved Budget Estimates and Performance Contract. The District Budget is expected to increase by 6.7% i.e from Ushs. 29,418,366,000 to Ushs. 31,375,686,000 mainly due to enhancement of salaries for science cadres and Local Political leaders, increase in capitation grant, provision for upgrading Buwembe and Majanji HC IIs to HC IIIs and support to Youth, Women and Community Groups. The District commits to ensure at least 5% of the Budget exclusively to address Gender concerns and all projects must reflect a District wide representation and value for money. Finally, I call upon all stakeholders including our partners namely UNICEF, USAID, World Vision, Child Fund, BRAC among others to fulfill the aspirations of the people of Busia District.
