This is in accordance with Section 36 of the Local Governments Act 1997 (as amended), where the Local Governments is mandated to prepare appropriate plans and documents in conformity with Central Government guidelines and formats. Pursuant to Section 36 referred to in the foregoing, Luuka District Local Government has prepared this Annual Workplan and Performance Contract for the period 2013/14 in a transparent consultative process right from budget conference where all the stake holders like the Development partners, technical staff,political leaders,and the general community were involved before consolidation. This document brings out problems facing the district like ;Poor service delivery due to low local revenue collections,the district local revenue contribution is still low (0.5%). Low standsrds of health and the related facilities: only 44% of mothers attending antinental care,Infant moterlity is at 70 and moternal mortality at 116,HIV/AIDS prevalence at 2.8%, Low use of family planning at 24% leading to 7.7 fertility rate,high prevelance of malaria contributing to over 50% of OPD cases. In Education there are few and poor infrustrure, few teachers,classrooms pupil ratio at high, Pupil stance ratio at 105:1,Pupil desk ratio at 9:1, text book pupil ratio at 1:12 ; dropout rates at primary 2.9%,PLE pass rate very poor, and teacher attendene rate of 87 % thus the low standards. Sanitation is still poor with 46% latrine coverage,safe water coverage at only 68% with average walking distance to safe water point as 3km. The roads are still in poor conditions especially in the rural areas,a lot of umemployment especially among the youths. Some political conflicts among leaders tend to undermine mobilisation for development . The OVC situation is pathetic with 73.9% living in poverty stricken house holds while 71% are faced with food insecurity. In a way to improve on the above situation,the district has planned to do the following; Encouraged people to diversify from sugar cane growing to Coffee and other fast growing crops, farmer groups to be facilitated with farm inputs under NAADS,plus formation of SACCOS to access micro finances for small business developments.In education,intensified supervision ,monitoring and inspection of schools and facilities,construction of classrooms,provision of furniture and recriutment of qualified staff is an attempt to improve on education standards. In health, recriutment of more qualifed staff has been done to address the big problem of staff shortage but this is limited by the wage bill thresh holds. Construction of Health Centres II and staff houses is another under taking as well as financing or allowing staff go for further training has been promoted to build the capacity of the health staff. Mobilisation and sensitzation of stake holders involved in the tax collection and management is on going but calls for a good combination with good Local Revenue Internal Control System. The orientation of political leaders on their roles and responsibilities has helped to reduce on the conflicts and promoted team work. My sincere appreciation goes the the budget desk that led the effort to put this document together in union with the various stake holders especially the technical staff,political leaders,and the development partners. The information in this document can be used by the varoius development stake hoders in planning,budgeting for and providing services to the district especially by closing the reource and service gaps the document indicates.

Investments in key human development areas have reaped benefits in poverty reduction, and seen some improvements on a range of socio-economic indicators: but is everyone benefiting? Ugandan women and girls have partially benefited from these trends. New laws and measures to protect and promote women’s economic, political and human rights have been accompanied by impressive reductions in gender gaps in primary and secondary education and greater female political participation. Yet, wide gender gaps and inequalities remain, including in control of assets, employment and health. Economic development may have improved the status quo of women in Uganda, but full equality with men remains a distant reality. Tackling the discriminatory social norms that drive such gender inequalities and ensuring that women can equally benefit from Uganda’s development were twin objectives of this first in-depth country study of the OECD Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI).
