However, Local Service Tax deductions from staff on payroll performed very well at 76%. Again the 65% Revenue retained by Lower Local Governments (LLGs) was not captured. Central Government has continued to transfer funds promptly and on Quarterly basis and all the transfers performed as expected. Donor funding performed at 18% majorly from UNICEF for immunisation. Strengthening Decentralisation for Sustainability had an unspent balance and thus did not disburse any funds in the 1st quarter. Planned Revenues for 2014/15 The district expects to to collect Ushs 32,333,489,000 from the following sources: Local raised Revenue:- Ushs 1,142,003,000= in FY 2014-15 compared to Ushs 543,393,000 in FY 2013-14 denoting an increase of 110%. This is attributed to the fact that this FY the revenue figures include the 65% at the Lower Local Government level and revenues from the Urban Council whose 100% collection remains at that level. The District also projects to receive Central Government Transfers in form of Discretionary Transfers, Conditional Transfers, Other Government Transfers, %; Local Government Development Grant all amounting to Ushs 29,080,674,000 which is 25% increase from FY 2013-14. The increases are mainly attributed to Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development which has provided for salary enhancement to all government employees, increase of 20% in Hard to Reach allowances, Youth fund worth Ushs 427,879,000 which had not been budgeted for in the previous Financial Year and an increase of 43% in the Uganda Road fund to cater for other roads that had been upgraded to feeder roads level. However, due to the policy shift regarding NAADs programme, the funding has been reduced from Ushs 1,138,898,000 down to Ushs 378,874,000 denoting a reduction of 67%. The other source in Fy 2014-15 is Ushs 1,087,616,000 donor funding compared to Ushs 1,053,582,000 in FY 2013-14. This denotes an increase donor funding of just 3%. The projected funding has been maintained at the same level in the FY 2103-14 except from a new source which is WASH-PLUS (Ushs 38,130,000). There is also a reduction of in PACE funding from Ushs 6,995,000 to 2,900,000. However, the biggest donors remain UNICEF and SDS that together will contribute 80% of donor funding.
