Hon Speaker, and Honourable Members of Parliament, in accordance with section 6(1) of the budget Act 2001; I wish to present to you the Ministerial Policy Statement for the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities FY 2014/15. The statement provides a full account of the major achievements registered in the financial year 2013/14 as well as the planned activities for the coming FY 2014/15. The Policy Statement is consistent with Uganda’s vision 2014, the National Development Plan and National Resistance manifesto 2011-2016. The importance of tourism has again been emphasized in the Vision 2040 as playing a major role in the economy and being a major contributor to GDP by 2040 in addition to having been defined in the National development Plan (NDP) as one of the primary growth drivers of the economy to accelerate economic development and social transformation. Uganda’s visitor exports measured by money spent by the international tourists rose by 8% compared to 3.9% at a global level and over 10% within South East Asia. The outlook of tourism in Uganda is extremely positive than ever before. The year 2013/14 presented numerous opportunities for tourism growth. These opportunities presented benefits for the private sector, grassroots communities and the central government at large. The popularisation of tourism clusters has further energised the masses and political elites to rally behind tourism. Tourism forecasts in the next coming years look favourable with predicted growth rates. Capitalizing on the opportunities for this tourism growth will, of course, require investment in promotion and marketing, conservation of wildlife and favorable business climate for investment in the tourism infrastructure and human resource support necessary to facilitate a successful and sustainable tourism sector. Rt. Hon Speaker, and Honourable Members, I now wish to propose the following financial outlay for your consideration and approval: Vote 022- Shs. 1.332bn as wage, Shs. 7.706bn as non-wage, Shs. 2.774bn as local development; vote 117- Shs. 1.582bn as wage, Shs. 4.269bn as non-wage, Shs. 0.553bn as local development; and projected Non Tax Revenue of Shs. 58.338bn from Uganda Wildlife Authority (Shs. 52.754bn), Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (Shs. 2.670bn), Uganda Tourism Board (Shs. 1.158bn), Hotel Training and Tourism Institute (Shs. 1.548bn), Uganda Wildlife Training Institute (Shs. 0.206bn) for the financial year 2014/15.

  • Proposal for Uganda
    AFB.PPRC.27-28.2 AFB/PPRC.26-27/2 21 June 2021 Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee PROPOSAL FOR UGANDA AFB/PPRC.27-28/2 Background 1. The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully-developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval. 2. The Templates approved by the Board (Annex 5 of the OPG, as amended in March 2016) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states: For regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process.

  • 12 Day Primates & Predators
    Uganda is a unique destination offering a wonderful mix of savannah and forest parks. Gorilla and chimp tracking are highlights, but many smaller primates can be seen as well. Uganda also offers great savannah safaris, but not all of the Big Five are present. Black rhino is extinct, and the status of the white rhino was the same until they were reintroduced in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in 2005. Cheetah is very rarely seen. Lion is quite common in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls national parks. They can often be found hunting Uganda kob, which gives them away with their alarm calls. Giraffe can only be found in Murchison Falls, Lake Mburo and Kidepo Valley national parks, while zebra exists only in Kidepo and Lake Mburo national parks and Katonga wildlife reserve. Uganda is also a prime birding destination. You will see most of these species at some point in this wonderful full coverage itinerary throughout Uganda 12 Day Primates & Predators ITINERARY UGANDA Day 1: Monday 15 July 2019 Today, you will be collected from Entebbe Airport and transferred to Hotel No 5 for one night.
