FY 2019/20 Vote:597 Kyankwanzi District LG Approved Workplan Vote:597 Kyankwanzi District FY 2019/20 Foreword Decentralized development planning is a core function for both Higher and Lower Local Governments. The provisions of the LGA, CAP 243 concerning planning more especially sections 35-37 were adhered to. The process of development planning gives all councils an opportunity to internalize the planning process and by so doing, participation is enhanced through which a wide range of proposals are raised and ranked for prioritization given the resource envelope. The Kyankwanzi Budget for 2019/2020 provides a detailed financial situation in the various sectors and provides an insight on how sectors will deliver on their mandated services in line with the overall National Development Plan which is the main planning framework. The process of making Work plans and budgets is a manifestation of the District commitment to improve the living conditions for the people of Kyankwanzi District as part of the core District objectives while keeping in mind the critical cross cutting such as population, HIV and AIDS, Environment and climatic change, ender and Equity concerns of access, participation and location so that even the disadvantaged like Women, Children, Elderly, Youths and persons with disabilities are catered for in the general programming of the District projects and programs. It puts councils goals, objectives, strategies and activities in a more logical and systematic manner. It is my prayer that Kyankwanzi District priorities will be incorporated into the National planning framework such that our contribution toward the National Development Plan II is realized as required I wish therefore to present this Budget for 2019/2020 for Vote 597 to Government of Uganda, Political Leaders and all stakeholders in Kyankwanzi District.
