Registration of businesses performed at 0% implying that the private sector is not growing. Apart from Application fees which stood at 120%, the rest performed below the expected 50% due to reasons associated with poor administration local revenue. Central Government has continued to transfer funds promptly and on Quarterly basis and most of the transfers performed as expected. However, NAADS performed very poor at 0% due to the policy shift in the program and the on -going restructuring process. Ex gratia for LLGS performed at 18% because allowances for LC1 and LC 2 Chairpersons are normally received in the 4th Quarter. Youth Livelihood project performed at 1% because Ministry for gender had not released funds for both operations and Youth projects. Other Central government Transfers performed at 81% as a result of the Population and Housing Census 2014 which was a one off activity. Donor funding performed at 18% which is very low. Most of the donors performed at 0% apart from PACE, UNICEF, WHO, Global Fund and Strengthening Decentralisation for Sustainability (SDS).However, even those that released some funds did not meet their obligations as expected. Planned Revenues for 2015/16 The district expects to collect Ushs 29,652,002,000 in FY 2015-16 from Local raised Revenue, Central Government Transfers, and Donor funding against Ushs 32,355,589,000= in FY 2014-15. This decline is attributed to unspent balances carried forward from previous financial year. Further, we had budgeted Population and Housing Census 2014 which was a one off activity and therefore concluded in FY 2014-15. There is also a significant reduction in the wage component as due to the wage bill streamlining process that is on-going. However, there are increases in the budget for local revenue of Ushs 10,000,000 which is expected to accrue due to the planned intensive sensitization and monitoring of revenue management in the District and Ushs.10,000,000 in LGMSD.

All the departments performed below the expected 50%. All departments that had hardware activities performed poorly because the contracts had not been awarded while the departments that rely heavily on local revenue also performed poorly because the local revenue private collectors had not stabilized as the tenders were awarded late. However, Planning Unit performed very well at 123% because of the Population and Housing Census 2014 activities that were concluded in the first two quarters. Planned Expenditures for 2015/16 The district planned expenditure during the FY 2015-16 is UGX 29,652,002,000 which implies a decrease Ushs 2,703,588,000 compared to Ushs 32,355,589,000 for the FY 2014-15. This decrease is attributed to changes in departmental allocations as justified below: There was a general decrease in wage allocations in all sectors as a result of the on-going streamlining salary payment process. The PAF monitoring and Accountability grant decreased. Administration Department had an increase in District Unconditional Grant Non-Wage to cater for funding gaps identified under Records Management Section. Statutory Bodies had an increment on the district unconditional grant Non-wage to cater for advertizement in the Procurement and disposal unit, Contracts Committee meetings and Coordination by political leaders which is an oversight role. Under this setor two new grants to cater for teachers and local governments pension and gratuity have been introduced. In addition there is an increase of the conditional transfer to councillors allowances and Ex-gratia for LC I and LC II. Production department had an increase in Agriculuture Extension salaries to cater for recruitment extension workers at Lower Local Governments to implement Operation Wealth Creation programme. There was also an increase in Production and Marketing Grant to cater for increased costs of service delivery. No funding will be made in FY 2015-16 due to policy shift of the NAADS programme and consequently the District Unconditional Grant Non-Wage meant for co-funding NAADS has been re- allocated. In the Health Sector, PHC Non-wage increased because there was need to cater for budget gaps due to increased budget costs. The PHC development reduced because the Ministry is encouraging renovation of the existing structures other than construction of new ones. The Education Sector, Capitation grants to Universal Secondary Education and Tertiary Institutions had substantial reduction and has caused serious concern especially when the number of students has not reduced. Probably the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) had budget cuts which in turn have caused budget allocations to schools. MoES has not given us why the situation is as such. The Roads and Engineering Sector had an increase in LGMSD allocation for construction of the district Administration Block. The increase in LGMD allocation attracted a co-funding hence an increase in Unconditional Grant non-wage (Development). The Natural resources Sector had an increase in District unconditional grant non-wage to cater operations of newly recruited staff. However there was a decrease in LGMSD because in FY 2014-15 the sector had been given a special allocation to procure Surveying equipment which was a one off activity. Under the Community Based Services Sector, an Indicative Planning Figure for a new grant was given to cater for Public Libraries. The Planning Unit received an additional allocation under Local revenue to cater for Budget Conference which is increasingly becoming expensive.
