Accountability Sector Annual Report for Fy 2018-19 October 2019 ACCOUNTABILITY SECTOR ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY 2018/19 October 2019 October 2019 iii ACCOUNTABILITY SECTOR ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY 2018/19 October 2019 Foreword The Accountability Sector is concerned with the mobilization, management and fostering accountability for the utilisation of public resources to facilitate the delivery of quality and equitable services. This report provides an overview of the Accountability Sector, and details of its achievements as well as challenges experienced in delivering the results for FY 2018/19. The report also provides an overview of the Development Partner funded programmes and projects that supported and contributed to the Accountability Sector’s achievements for FY 2018/19. Accountability is a shared responsibility. In your position as a citizen, beneficiary of public services, policy maker or implementer, religious leader, civil society, private sector player, development partner etc, you have a role to play in ensuring the delivery of quality and equitable public services. This role may include your participation in the government planning and budgeting cycle and getting to know and contribute to the plans and budgets of your Local and Central Governments. This could also mean monitoring the implementation of the approved Local and Central Government plans, budgets, policies, programs and projects; reporting any irregularities and deviations from plan and budget; participating and contributing to the review and evaluation of government policies, programs and projects, etc. This report is part of the accountability for the resources availed to the Accountability Sector during FY 2018/19, and is intended to create awareness about the Accountability Sector as well as facilitate you to demand for Accountability. It is therefore my wish that you take time to read and internalise the contents of this report so that you can fully understand the Accountability Sector and its achievements and challenges. In case the details provided in this report are not sufficient, I encourage you to get in touch with the Secretariat, so they can provide the necessary details or link you to the responsible Accountability Sector Institution to give you the necessary information. I take this opportunity to appreciate all the support accorded to the Accountability Sector by our Development Partners, particularly the following; USAID, UK/DFID, EU, KfW, Norway, Denmark, GIZ, IMF and the World Bank. I also thank the members of the Accountability Sector Leadership and Steering Committee, Sector Institutions, Sector Working Group, Technical Working Groups and the Secretariat for the cooperation, dedicated effort and hard work for the achievements we have registered in FY 2018/19. I specifically thank the Secretariat team for putting together this report.

    PRESS REVIEW John Paul II Justice and Peace Centre “Faith Doing Justice” EDITION 2 JULY 2015 Plot 2468 Nsereko Road, Nsambya THEMATIC AREAS P.O. Box 31853, Kampala-Uganda Education Tel: +256 414 267372 Health Mobile: 0783 673588 Religion and Society Email: [email protected] Environment [email protected] Economy Website: www.jp2jpc.org INTRODUCTION Dear Partners Greetings from JPIIJPC. We bring to you the Second Edition of our Press review for the month of July 2015. As we had mentioned in our First Edition in the month of June, we shall be producing a monthly Press Review to summarize key news headlines from Print media newspapers of the New Vision, the East African and the Daily monitor. Once again we would like to thank all those who gave us feedback, comment on the first edition. Your suggestions have been taken into consideration in this second edition as you may observe while reading the review. Additionally, many of our partners further suggested that the content of the Press Review is too bulky and has a lot of content, therefore, we have decided to narrow our content to five sections only. EDUCATION Primary schools get sh1b for sanitation facilities; thirty six primary schools in Gulu, Kitgum and Pader districts have received sanitation and hygiene facilities worth sh1.2b. The donation from the African Medical Research Foundation (AMREF) includes 34 flash toilets, 29 concrete rainwater harvesting tanks and 79 hand washing facilities. The acting head of water and sanitation programme at AMREF Mutwalib Wakude said they could construct a modern sludge drying bed for Kitgum town council.
