This marked the end of implementation within the PEAP framework that expired in 2010. The District LGDPII is the second Plan in a series of the six five-year development plans that are to be implemented in order to realize the National Vision 2040 under the Comprehensive National Development Planning Framework (CNDPF) and Uganda’s roadmap towards socio-economic transformation from a peasant to a modern and prosperous society within the next 30 years. Kamwenge District has developed this plan in an effort to contribute towards the implementation National Vision 2040; this is expected to improve on the standards of living of the people of Kamwenge in particular and all Ugandan’s in general. Council takes cognizance of the mandates stipulated in Article 190 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda 1995, where Local Government Development Plans are supposed to inform the National Development Plan (NDP) and section 35 of the Local government Act (Cap 243) which requires the District Council to prepare a comprehensive and integrated District Development Plan incorporating Plans of Lower Local Governments. The same section also obliges Lower Local Governments to prepare Development Plans incorporating plans of their Lower Local Councils namely LCI s and LCIIs in their respective areas of jurisdiction. Consequently, the preparation of the LGDPII involved the citizens that participated in its formulation through their elected representatives, and Civil Society Organizations. The District leadership is dedicated to achievement of the vision and theme of the plan as well as all aspirations therein and will make every effort to mobilize resources for the purpose. Our call goes to all our Development Partners, the community and Civil Society Organizations to support implementation of the Plan. For God and My Country Natuhamya Aggrey DISTRICT CHAIRPERSON- KAMWENGE vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENT It is a great pleasure to witness the fruition of the Second Five-year District Development Plan 2015/2016-2019/2020. The process of developing this Plan was started way back in December 2013 by first bringing the idea for the DDPII to the attention of DTPC and subsequent follow-up by NPA. This strategic plan tries to align to the NDPII and takes care of national, priorities and opportunities that exist. Kamwenge District Leadership extends sincere thanks and appreciation to all Stakeholders who in various ways contributed to the formulation of this Development Plan. Special thanks to the District heads of departments /Sectors who did all their best to consolidate the priorities into this document, Sub county Chiefs and Chairpersons LCIII without whose input the Lower Local Government priorities would not have been captured, District and Sub county Councilors and Executive members who did all the necessary approvals, and all Implementing Partners for the input including funding that has enabled us consolidate the information into this Plan. In the next five years the district shall prioritize strengthening of service delivery; enhancing public and stakeholder awareness of DDP II priorities; build partnerships, promote strict management, accountability and human rights observance in Kamwenge District. This Plan has been developed to guide the operations of Kamwenge District Local Government over the next five years (2015/2016 – 2019/2020) and articulates the District’s strategic priorities and their implementation strategies, and is therefore meant to be an overall guide to planning and development for Kamwenge over the planning period. I take this opportunity to urge all Kamwenge District Local Government Leaders and Stakeholders to read this plan and expeditiously implement all priority areas articulated herein.
