The District‟s Vision of Attaining holistic sustainable development and poverty free communities by 2030 highly contributes towards the national goal of propelling Uganda into middle income status by 2040. All development planning country wide is guided by this principle to which Kiruhura District Local Government strongly upholds. In this LGDP II Kiruhura District collectively upholds that the prioritized development programmes are strong avenues to strengthen the District„s contribution towards the national competitiveness for sustainable wealth creation, employment and inclusive growth. The Plan builds on the achievements registered under the LGDP I and takes into consideration the challenges encountered and lessons learnt during its implementation. The achievements realized under LGDPI include among others: reduction in absolute poverty, reduction in infant & under five mortality, Increased Primary School enrollment, Improvement in PLE performamnce, Reduced illiteracy levels, Improvement in School infrastructure especially Number of Class rooms and School Sanitary conditions, Improvement in Health Service delivery, marked reduction in Malaria morbidity and mortality, Improved Road network, access to water, Improvement in agricultural production attributable to adaptation to commercial farming among many others. The Details on all the aforementioned successes, challenges encountered, lessons learnt from the implementation of LGDP I and all the planned development interventions for the next five years have been well conceptualized and articulately presented in this LGDP II. iii It is our Strong conviction that if well implemented, this LGDP II will undoubtedly deliver full potential for realization and achievement of Kiruhura district‟s Vision. I am pleased to explicitly applaud the efforts by all the Stake holders in particular Kiruhura District Planning Task Team, the Various Planning Committees at both the HLG, LLGs and the guidance extended to our District by the National Planning Authority Team for the collective input that tremendously contributed towards the production of this LGDP II which is a yardstick for all development initiatives in the district for the next Five years. Therefore, on behalf of Kiruhura District Council and on my own behalf, I wish to call upon all stakeholders, and all partners in development to focus our ambition and adherence towards collective implementation of this LGDP II. iv Acknowledgement I would like to thank all the people who have contributed in one way or another to the preparation and production of this 5-year DDP for 2015/2016- 2019/2020. The participatory planning approach followed in preparing the plan enabled a wide range of stakeholders to take part in the planning process which resulted into a realistic plan that relates to the Kiruhura District problems and priorities for development. In a special way, appreciation goes to the District Planning Task Team who worked consultatively to inspire and co-ordinate the whole process of preparing this plan. The plan has a noble goal of improving standard of living of the people in Kiruhura District which fits into the District Mission and Vision all of which are clearly stated in Chapter 1 of the plan. It is my humble appeal to all stakeholders that due support be provided to the district for the successful execution and implementation of this plan. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword
