The theme of Nebbi Sub County Development Plan One (NSCDPI)The plan was instrumental in streamlining planning along medium to long term targets as a basis for development planning and financing Mission: To deliver equal services for men and women and other vulnerable groups for wealth creation and inclusive growth. Challenges to NSCDPI Low prioritization and sequencing of projects and interventions leading to inefficient utilization of resources Limited financing options due to low revenue both local and donor funding Weak public sector management, including a weak decentralized public service delivery system, procurement delays and corruption. Limited involvement of Non-Governmental Organizations and CBOs and the stakeholders in planning and implementation of the plan. Limited integration of cross-cutting issues in sectoral plans, programs and projects, key of these being Gender, Environment, Nutrition and HIV/AIDS. This is due to lack of synergies and coherence across sectors on what priorities to take on.
