FY 2019/20 FOREWORD The Government strategy this Financial Year 2019/20 is to promote import substitution and export promotion, and incentivize private sector development. It is envisioned that this will be achieved through industrialization anchored on agriculture and agro-industrialization, manufacturing, and mineral potential. This will also ensure inclusive growth and the creation of jobs, while promoting development of other key primary growth sectors. According to findings shared by the Budget Monitoring and Accountability Unit (BMAU), majority of the sectors monitored got over 50% of their budget releases, however fair performance was noted in terms of service delivery. This is attributed to the persistent challenges of delayed procurement and poor planning which must be dealt with as the country moves to implement the third National Development Plan. This report is produced at time when the whole world is affected by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). It is prudent that the sectors devise cost effective means to ensure that their stakeholders will still benefit from the government programmes/projects.
