NATIONAL PLANNING AUTHORITY MID-TERM REVIEW OF THE NRM MANIFESTO 2016 - 2021 FINAL REPORT June 2019 MID-TERM REVIEW OF THE NRM MANIFESTO 2016 - 2021 NATIONAL PLANNING AUTHORITY MID-TERM REVIEW OF THE NRM MANIFESTO 2016 - 2021 FINAL REPORT June 2019 i THE NATIONAL PLANNING AUTHORITY FOREWORD The National Planning Authority (NPA), with immense gratitude, presents to the people of Uganda and Development Partners results of the Mid-Term Review (MTR) of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Manifesto: 2016-2021 under the theme “Taking Uganda to Modernity through Job-creation and Inclusive Development.” In June 2016, H.E the President, in addition, issued 23 Strategic Guidelines and Directives. To this end, NPA developed a Results and reporting framework for tracking progress of implementation of the two. The MTR was undertaken in partnership with Sectors, MDAs, the Private Sector, Civil Society, and Researchers, with whom NPA intends to, continue working. The NRM Manifesto 2016 is consistent with the Comprehensive National Development Planning framework (CNDPF) and in particular, the Second National Development Plan (NDPII), 2015/16 – 2019/20 and the Charter for Fiscal Responsibility (CFR). The commitments in the Manifesto were mainstreamed into plans and budgets of Sectors, Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), as well as and the Local Governments (LGs). The Manifesto aspires to deliver Uganda towards a competitive Middle-Income Status from a predominantly Low-Income Society through inclusiveness and job-creation. NPA commissioned this Mid Term Review (MTR) in 2019 to determine extent to which progress had been made towards implementation of the Manifesto and of the 23 Strategic Guidelines and Directives, to enable improvements, for faster achievement of set targets and overall results. The MTR, that was conducted concurrently with MTR of NDPII and End-evaluation of NDP1; supersedes other attempts to take stock of the Manifesto commitments, because; it aggregates the findings and codifies them into implications for future Manifestos and National Development Plans (NDPs). This Manifesto MTR was conducted concurrently with the NDPII MTR and the NDP1 End evaluation. A score card that tracks the progress of implementation of the commitments was developed and the rating system provides the rate at which the Manifesto commitments have progressed. The MTR established that, overall, 63.7 percent of the NRM Manifesto commitments were on track of which: 42.5 percent had been achieved, 21.2 percent were likely to be achieved, while 36.3 percent were off track and only 0.2 percent were not assessed. On the 23 strategic guidelines and directives, 45.3 percent had been achieved, 28.3 percent were likely to be achieved and 26.4 percent of the directives were off track. I wish to express my appreciation to all those who worked tirelessly to produce this report. National Planning Authority (NPA) will continue with this partnership so as to realize full implementation of the NRM agenda.
