Review of development plan to cost Shs5 billion

The review seeks to assess Uganda’s development agenda and the impact of the programme since 2007.

Kampala

The National Planning Authority will use about Shs5 billion to review Uganda’s National Development Plan.

The review seeks to assess the progress of the National Development Plan as well as find out whether it is still relevant in regard to Uganda’s development needs.

The process that will start in the later part of December, will be used to examine the impact of the planning frameworks used to guide the development agenda.

The National Development Plan in 2010 became the government’s working document, replacing the National Poverty Eradication Action Plan which had since 1997 guided the government’s development agenda.

Dr Abel Rwendeire, the NPA deputy chairman, told development partners in a meeting in Kampala on Monday that the mid-term review was a requirement under the comprehensive National Development Planning Framework, which was adapted by the government in 2007.
