It is envisioned that this will be achieved through industrialization anchored on agriculture and agro- industrialization, manufacturing, and mineral potential. This will also ensure inclusive growth and the creation of jobs, while promoting development of other key primary growth sectors. According to findings shared by the Budget Monitoring and Accountability Unit (BMAU), majority of the sectors monitored got over 50% of their budget releases, however fair performance was noted in terms of service delivery. This is attributed to the persistent challenges of delayed procurement and poor planning which must be dealt with as the country moves to implement the third National Development Plan. This report is produced at time when the whole world is affected by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). It is prudent that the sectors devise cost effective means to ensure that their stakeholders will still benefit from the government programmes/projects. Keith Muhakanizi Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Treasury Roads Sub-sector: Semi-Annual Budget Monitoring Report - FY 2019/20 iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction This report reviews selected key programmes and sub-programmes within Roads sub-sector, based on approved plans and significance of budget allocations to the Votes. Attention is on large expenditure programmes including both development expenditure and recurrent costs. Focus was also placed on sector gender and equity commitments, and outcomes. Programmes selected for monitoring were based on planned annual outputs; regional representation; level of capital investment; and value of releases during half year, Financial Year 2019/20. The methodology adopted for monitoring included literature review of annual progress and performance reports; interviews with the respective responsible officers or representatives; and observations or physical verification of reported outputs. Physical performance was rated using weighted achievement of the set output targets by 31st December, 2019. Financial Performance The total Works and Transport sector budget for the FY2019/20 increased by 34% from Ug shs 4,793.829 billion in FY 2018/19 to Ug shs 6,425.028 billion. By 31st December 2019, 47.6% of the sector budget had been released and absorption was at 77%, which was a good financial performance. The good release was majorly contributed by the Government of Uganda (GoU) component of the budget which had a release of over 49% in the three key sector votes that include Vote 016- Ministry of Works and Transport (MoWT), Vote 113-Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA), and Vote 118- Uganda Road Fund (URF). Overall Physical Performance The performance of the roads sub-sector was good at 71%. The MoWT and the URF performance were fair at 62% and 69% respectively, while that of UNRA was good at 80%. Achievement of targets across all the votes was majorly affected by the inclement rains in the first half of the financial year which disrupted progress of works and caused emergencies on the national and district road networks leading to deviation from planned activities. The performance of the Roads sub-sector in the MoWT was attributed to the good performance of the projects which had activities rolling over from the previous FY like - Improvement of the Gulu Municipal Roads, and the East African Trade and Transport Facilitation Project (EATTFP). Performance was however mainly affected by the force account implementing units whose failure to achieve targets was attributed to the prolonged heavy rains in the first half of the FY which disrupted works; and delays in procurement of service providers which continued to affect commencement of activities. However, projects like the EATTFP had funding short falls during implementation and thus activities were implemented beyond the stipulated timelines. The good performance of UNRA which implements the National Roads Construction and Rehabilitation programme was on account of achievement

  • Uganda Decentralization: Governance Adrift | 3
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 11, Issue 4 | Summer 2010 Decentralization and Conflict in Uganda: Governance Adrift TERRELL G. MANYAK & ISAAC WASSWA KATONO Abstract: This study examines the challenges that threaten one of Africa’s most ambitious experiments in political, administrative and fiscal decentralization. Based on extensive interviews with local government leaders throughout Uganda, the research uncovered a complex interplay of conflicts that impact decision-making effectiveness. The sources of these conflicts center around (a) the impact of national politics on local government as the country approaches the 2011 election, (b) the inability to meet rising citizen demand for services as the tax base of local governments continues to erode, (c) the corrosive impact of social conflicts stemming mostly from poverty and illiteracy complicated by tribal and ethnic differences, and (d) the challenges of developing honest and effective leadership in local government. Can Uganda unravel this web of conflicts to bring meaningful governance to this young nation? Indeed, many countries within the developing world are watching this experiment with a great deal of interest. Introduction The Uganda experiment in local government was born out of a blend of idealism and practical necessity. The idealism arose from a nation that dedicated itself to building democracy after years of brutal despotism. The practical necessity came from the need to provide basic services in an environment where local government had essentially disintegrated. The result was a multilayered system of directly elected district and lower local councils with significant responsibilities for delivering basic services. The international community strongly supported this action and hailed it as an example of how other developing countries should proceed with nation-building.1 While the local government system was initially well accepted, Ugandans now appear increasingly disenchanted with the corruption, mismanagement, and bitter political conflicts that are regularly reported in local newspapers.

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 5073. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/5073 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices By Jane Kawalya (PhD) 1.0 BACKGROUND The idea of establishing the NLU started in 1997. Kawalya (2009) identified several factors which led to the establishment of the NLU. Before the enactment of the National Library Act 2003, Uganda had a national library system composed of Makerere University Library (MULIB) and the Deposit Library and Documentation Center (DLDC), which were performing the functions of a national library. Meanwhile the Public Libraries Board (PLB) was performing the functions of a national library service. However, due to the decentralization of services, according to the Local Government Act 1997, the Public Libraries Act 1964 was repealed thus weakening the PLB. The public libraries were taken over by the districts which left the PLB with few functions. There was therefore a need for an institution to take over important functions which had been carried out by the PLB. It was also realized that the few responsibilities would lead to the retrenchment of the PLB staff at the headquarters.
