The Vision, Mission and Goals were informed and guided by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the five years National Development Plan (2010/11 to 2014/15), the National Resistance Movement (NRM) manifesto, various sector policies and guidelines and our local priorities. Accordingly, the Budget focuses on the strategic areas of economic and social infrastructure construction and rehabilitation, human development and empowerment and poverty reduction. It broadly covers the: construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of schools, health units, roads and bridges; the development of technical staff interms of quality and quantity and; the empowerment of the disadvantaged/vulnerable groups in our society. As a point of emphasis, the District is committed to the efficient use and maintenance of all the facilities that were developed over the years and efforts will be put to ensure that the capacity of the users is strengthened towards correct use inorder to increase facility life span and enjoyment of the services they are meant to offer. Thus, it is envisaged that the budget will be implemented through some of the ongoing programmes such as the Northern Uganda Peace, Recovery and Development (PRDP), Northern Uganda Social Action plan (NUSAFII) as well as the other Sector’s and Partner’s programmes. I call upon all stakeholders to embrace the comprehensive plan and participate fully towards its implementation for the good of our people.

This is good performance on the part of Central Government transfers where all funds were received as planned. However, some sources of revenue under performance like in local revenue only 17% was collected. This was due to heavy rains that affected market dues collection and the dispose off of asset was not done. Other Central Government transfers from Neglected Tropical Disease, Avian Flu, Uganda Sanitation, Uganda Wildlife Authority, Re-stocking programme, GAVI, DICOSS, FIEFOC and Youthlihood were not received. Also Donor funds from UNICEF and GIZ Uganda were not received as planned as the donor were demanding for accountability to release next allocation to the district. Planned Revenues for 2015/16 In the Finanial year 2015/16 the district expects to receive 29.2 billion compared to 30.64 billion from last financial year. This is a reduction by over one billion shillings mainly as a result of NUSAF2 phasing out, Secondly, funds from UWA as corporate responsility has been reduced. However, there are also other sources of revenue that have continued to increase like unconditional grant wage for salary enhancement and Conditional grant wage. Conditional grant transfers and Discretionery funds have been maintained as per MoFPED instruction. Other Central Government transfers from UBOS ended with completion of Census exercise and the IPFs from Avian Flu, Uganda Sanitation fund and FIEFOC were not communcated. These funds have been allocated across all sector with education receiving the highest allocation followed by health and administration in that order.
