In order to have a consultative budget process, a district Budget conference took place on Wednesday 27th November 2013 at Cape Hotel in Kamwenge Town and attracted participants from Sub Counties, representatives of Development partners, Religious leaders, Political leaders, District heads of departments, Civil society organizations, Members of parliament, the Media, and Financial Institutions.All aimed at the achivement of District Vision. The vision of Kamwenge district is “Improved quality of life for all the people of Kamwenge by the year 2035”, while the Mission is “to Provide coordinated and participatory service delivery by all stakeholders focusing on National and local priorities for the development of Kamwenge District”. This was part of the normal District planning cycle activities during which all stakeholders come together and review the activities so far implemented and activities and resource envelopes for the coming year. The District appreciated the low funding levels to address critical challenges like High Dropout rates in Education, Low Local Revenue base with many Co funding obligations, High HIV prevalance rate above 8.2%leading to increasing number of OVC, Low Production Levels in Home steeds with less Food security and General lack of Infrastructure developing funds.
