Local Government Workplan Vote: 513 Kabarole District Structure of Workplan Foreword Executive Summary A: Revenue Performance and Plans B: Summary of Department Performance and Plans by Workplan C: Draft Annual Workplan Outputs for 2015/16 D: Details of Annual Workplan Activities and Expenditures for 2015/16 Page 1 Local Government Workplan Vote: 513 Kabarole District Foreword This Budget outlines the District medium term spending priorities for the financial year 2014/15. It also reviews the first half performance for financial year 2015/16.The review is both for financial receipt, expenditure and physical output. This review has been done at departmental level and it is therefore easy to follow and find out how much each department received what was spent and the major outputs attained. In addition the physical outputs and their locations have also been highlighted both in this paper and in the second quarter report. The budget has been prepared after intensive consultation which started at community level by the sub counties and climaxing to the sub county budget conferences. The sub county budget conferences resulted into sub county budget frame work papers that were presented to the District budget conference together with departmental intended activities and priorities. The priorities that were selected at the conference were later evaluated by the technical personnel and those that ranked high are the ones that form the basis for this budget. I am aware that a number of people dedicated their time into ensuring that this budget is prepared. I therefore want to thank all those that got involved right from the communities to the District technical people. The input from the political leaders has been enormous I would similarly like to extend my appreciation to all political leaders who were very eager to have this paper prepared in time. The Budget provides the District with a medium term expenditure frame work. I would therefore like to implore all technical staff and development partners to utilize it especially during implimenttion of activities and programms for FY 2015/16 RWABUHINGA RICHARD DISTRICT CHAIRPERSON_KABAROLE Page 2 Local Government Workplan Vote: 513 Kabarole District Executive Summary Revenue Performance and Plans 2014/15 2015/16 Approved Budget Receipts by End Proposed Budget Dec UShs 000's 1.

Shortfalls were mainly in discretionary transfers, conditional grant, donor funding and local revenue. As in the previous quarter UNICEF releases continued to be less than expected, it is not clear why this is happening, however, it may be as a result of program wind up and the fact that a new program is being designed. Similarly local revenue collection continued being below the expected and three major challenges continue to be given as probable reason for underperformance. These challenges are: (i) The District and all LLGs have continuously failed to implement the Revenue Enhancement Plan which was thought to help in raising local revenue. (ii) Failure by LLGs to collect local revenue (iii) Lack of Parish Chiefs in most Parishes It is hoped that during the next two quarters the district will put modalities to address the three concerns. For example recruitment of all parish chiefs is going on. Out of the received 13.976 Billion, 13.855 Billion was transferred to respective departments during the quarter. A total of 121 Million was still on the General Fund account because it was deposited on the 18th of December and there was no release note detailing where it had come form until in January 2015 when MOH sent release details informing the District that the money was meant for Polio campaign. Despite the timely transfer of funds to the departmental accounts all funds were not utilized by the end of the quarter. Of the13.99 Billion transferred to department, 13.147 Billion had been utilized by the end of the quarter leaving a balance of 707 Million on the department accounts. Departments that had big balances includes; Education (297 Million), Health (44 Million), Water (72 Million), Roads (183 Million), CBS (40Million) and production (44 Million). The major reason for not spending the money was the long procurement process especially with projects in education, works and water department that had to be submitted for Auditor General’s scrutiny in Mbarara and whose response was received in second quarter. Balance in medical department was meant to construct toilets at four health units but due to the heavy rains in October and November there was delays in excavation of pits because pits were being filled by water. Funds on community development account are meant to support CDD groups. However, when the groups were subjected to technical appraisal they were found not ready to receive the funding, accordingly the technical committee recommended for more time to be given to groups to reorganize themselves before funding, an officer from the District has been assigned to fast track the exercise. Production department balance is funds meant to pay NAADS staff who were laid out but the exercise of verifying their documents is still going on. Works department could not utilize all the funds because balance carried forward from last quarter was too much since funds were sent toward the beginning of second quarter in addition the old road unit cannot work on all roads without breaking down which delays work. Planned Revenues for 2015/16 The District expects to receive a total of 32.558 Billion, Of this total central government will contribute the highest percentage of 95.2% . There has been a significant decline in donor funding because UNICEF Country program is ending. In addition there has been a decrease in local revenue estimate based on the performance of the first three quarters of last FY and the advice by the external auditors to reduce on the estimate based on receipts from all the previous years.
