Vote: 521 Kasese District Structure of Budget Framework Paper Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 521 Kasese District Structure of Budget Framework Paper Foreword Executive Summary A: Revenue Performance and Plans B: Summary of Department Performance and Plans by Workplan C: Draft Annual Workplan Outputs for 2015/16 Page 1 Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 521 Kasese District Foreword This Budget Framework Paper 2015/16 is developed following the fiscal decentralization strategy modality. It has 4 major components namely: The Revenue Performance and Plan, the Department performance and Plan by work plan, the Over view of the work plan and expenditure and the draft annual work plan. The wage and enrollment components have also recently been added to enhance budgeting for staff wages and schools. The annual work plan 2015/16 has key functions under each of the departments with a number of corresponding outputs. The outputs for the FY 2015/16 are classified as standard or non standard depending on the department. This budget framework paper is building on the foundation already started and will continue improving on delivery of services and creating an enabling environment in the district. This will be done in consultation and in partnership with all stakeholders-the public, private and civil society organizations. Already through the participatory planning process, as part of a wider consultation, on the 11th and 12th of December 2014, Kasese District held a budget and planning meeting where a wide range of stakeholders participated and enriched this BFP. All these efforts are aimed at fulfilling the district vision of having a "poverty free society" which is in line with the government broad goal as reflected in the National Development Plan and the MDGs. To actualise this, the district has documented a number of strategic outputs for 2015/16 which will be crucial in the attainment of the district vision. And after every three months there shall be a review to establish whether the right direction is being followed. I would once again like to commit the District leadership towards the attainment of these set goals and objectives. We undertake to have this budget framework paper actualized and ensuring that the document is a guiding tool for the year 2015/16.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION and COMMUNICATIONS in UGANDA
    ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION and COMMUNICATIONS IN UGANDA: ORGANIZATIONS AND RESOURCES A Report Compiled for USAID/Uganda by the Environmental Education and Communication Project "GreenCOM" USAID Contract No. PCE-5839-C-00-3068-00 Ralph Ted Field, Ph.D. August, 1994 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Research for "Organizations and Resources for Environmental Eduction and Communications in Uganda" work was undertaken from July 7 through August 6, 1994. Seventy-one persons were interviewed providing data to profile 41 organizations with resources for, or having an interest in, environmental eduction in Uganda. The report provides an overview of environmental eduction and communications in Uganda. The major finding of the consultancy is that conditions for supporting national environmental eduction programs are rapidly evolving: o There is great interest in environmental education; o There are pressing environmental issues which can be addressed through environmental eduction's holistic and scientific approach (e.g. soil conservation; fuelwood shortages; and wildlife conservation;) o individuals within several key groups are beginning to take independent action to create environmental eduction programs (e.g. teachers at the Institute for Teachers' Education, and staff and leaders of indigenous NGOs;) and, o Donors, Ministry of Eduction, and Uganda National Parks express both interest and willingness to support environmental eduction -- when the time is right. However, before conditions are fully ripe to nurture a full-scale national environmental eduction and communication program involving formal education agencies, several events must occur: o Basic reforms of the Ministry of Eduction need to be complete (e.g. the first phase of the SUPER project;) o The location of the National Environmental Management Authority within the GOU and its role vis-a-vis environmental eduction must be decided.
