HON. SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT Opinion I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Nakasongola District Local Government which comprise the statement of Financial Position as at 30th June 2018, and the Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows together with other accompanying statements for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In my opinion, the financial statements of Nakasongola District Local Government for the year ended 30th June 2018 are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with section 51 of the Public Finance Management, 2015 and the Local Government Financial and Accounting Manual, 2007. Basis for Opinion I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs). My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report. I am independent of the District in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda (1995) as amended, the National Audit Act, 2008, the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) Code of Ethics, the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Parts A and B) (IESBA Code), and other independence requirements applicable to performing audits of Financial Statements in Uganda. I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code, and in accordance with other ethical requirements applicable to performing audits in Uganda. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in my professional judgment, were of most significance in my audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters 4 were addressed in the context of my audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming my opinion thereon, and I do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. I have determined the matters described below as the key audit matters to be communicated in my report. 1.0 Performance of Youth Livelihood Programme The Youth Livelihood Programme (YLP) is a Government Programme being imple- mented under the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MoGLSD) through the Local Government Administrations. The programme, which started in the financial year 2013-2014, was to respond to the existing challenge of unemployment among the Youth. The programme is implemented through the District and support to the vulnerable youth in form of revolving funds for skills development projects and income generating activities. The audit focused on an amount of UGX.320,013,500 disbursed to the District in the Financial Years; 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 whose recovery period of three years had expired by 30th June 2018. The audit procedures performed included ascertaining the following; Whether all funds budgeted for YLP during the period under review were actually released and used only for the program. Whether all funds advanced to the youth groups were repaid in accordance with the agreed repayment schedule and to establish reasons for failure or delays to repay the funds. Whether all funds recovered during the period under review were transferred to the revolving fund account in Bank of Uganda and Whether on a sample basis the funded projects exist and are operating. I made the following observations; 1.1 Underfunding of the Programme A review of the approved budget for the YLP program revealed that whereas the District had budgeted for a total amount of UGX.355,578,109 for the financial years 2013/2014 and 2014/2015, only UGX.320,013,500

  • Social and Engineering Aspects of an Aquacultural Development Project in the Nakasongola District of Uganda
    1 Social and Engineering Aspects of an Aquacultural Development Project in the Nakasongola District of Uganda G. W. Feyereisen Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Department 1390 Eccles Avenue University of Minnesota St. Paul, MN 55108-6005 USA email: [email protected] Abstract: Political upheaval and civil war in the 1970’s and 1980’s, coupled with AIDS deaths in the 1980’s and 1990’s, have brought hardship on the people of the east African country of Uganda, especially the children. Cornerstone Development Uganda, a charitable organization founded in 1988, has established a 700-head working dairy cattle ranch in Nakasongola District of central Uganda to provide opportunity, education, and income for local families. Another charitable entity, African Children’s Mission (ACM), operates a feeding program providing meals to 1300 children daily at primary schools on the ranch and in the neighboring community, and organizes building projects in support of the ranch. ACM needed design assistance to build a training center, waste treatment system, and aquaculture operation on a 50 ha parcel of land adjacent to the ranch. ACM requested technical assistance from Engineering Ministries International (EMI), a U.S.-based group. EMI recruited and organized a group of eleven professionals from various parts of the United States to visit the ranch in October 2001, to complete surveys and collect data for the designs. This paper will present the social and cultural aspects of the visit, and the process of data assimilation and design that has been utilized to engineer the fish ponds and a water reservoir to support a pond aquaculture operation.

  • CAA Master Plan
    CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY 2017/18 - 2021/22 BUSINESS PLAN Theme: “Linking Uganda to the World through Air Transport” DecemberDecember 2013 201 6 i FOREWORD Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) was established by an Act of Parliament (Cap 354) in 1991 with the main objective of promoting the safe, regular, secure and efficient use and development of civil aviation inside and outside Uganda. The Authority is mandated to carry out the following functions: a) Advisory role to Government in relation to civil aviation policy matters and international conventions and other functions as deemed necessary by the Minister responsible for aviation b) Regulation of safety, security and doing business in air transport c) Management and development of major airports in the country d) Provision of air traffic and navigation services. The CAA Act requires the Authority to produce a five-year rolling Business Plan to guide its operations and investments. The Authority therefore must use a holistic approach in planning for all the functions mentioned above. CAA must scan and analyze its business and operating environment to be able to come up with the right strategies for the future. This is CAA’s 26th Business Plan whose implementation will commence on 1st July 2017. Emphasis will again be put on the upgrade, expansion and modernization of airport infrastructure especially for Entebbe International Airport. The Authority will continue to implement the Corrective Action Plans that resulted from the ICAO Coordinated Validation Mission (ICVM) and other audits by various International Aviation Bodies. The needs (facility adequacy, efficiency and service excellence) of our stakeholders are always crucial during the planning and implementation of airport projects.
