Medium Term Expenditure Plans District expenditure aims at achieving the District Vision of “A transformed Rakai community from a peasant to a modern and prosperous district within 30 years”. The expenditures are also aligned with priorities in the National Development Plan and 5 year District Development Plan which derived from the sector annual work plans for example access to safe water will increase from 56% to 65%, increase school enrollments from 117037 pupils to 218567 by 2015 , reduce the HIV/AIDs prevalence from 11% to 4% and to increase incomes of our communities through increased production and productivity . Challenges in Implementation Rakai District experienced various challenges in implementing the plan and includes: Weather: unfavorable weather conditions were experienced and most of the district roads were cutoff especially in Kacheera and Kyebe sub-counties respectively and this greatly affected the local revenue from markets, stalls and Landing sites. Fuel prices: the rising fuel prices have led to increased transport costs which have greatly affected the budget implementation. Cattle quarantine: the on and off cattle quarantine affecting both the livestock and good market especially in Kakuuto County since the financial year begun the markets in Kakuuto county have been affected by the quarantine and yet the tenderers had paid the six months in advance and this has hampered a lot to the revenue collection since cattle markets are one of the major local revenue. Failure of the local community to embrace Local Service Tax and make payments as required by law will directly constrain the District future plans implementation. Inadequate transport facilitation due to existence of old vehicles which are in dangerous Mechanical Condition for all sectors and without question will hold back the implementation of the District Future Plans. The structural changes in the economy of Uganda which are always linked with inflation especially on negative side of it making procurement plans and other project implementations difficult due increased fuel prices Increased costs of construction materials yet the funding levels have remained constant for the previous 3-5 Financial Page 4 Local Government Budget Framework Paper Vote: 549 Rakai District Executive Summary Years Movement of cattle along the road also affects the road network Poor quality of underground water especially in Kooki.
