  1. A Comprehensive Review of the Uganda National Development Strategy (PEAP)* by Wilson Turinawe Blasio Musisi Johnson Nkuuhe Alexander Aboagye UNDP RBA MDG-Based National Development Planning Training Workshop, Dar, Tz, 27 February – 3 March 2006 * PEAP = Poverty Eradication Action Plan (equivalent of PRSP)

  2. 1. Ambition of Uganda’s PEAP

  3. 1. Ambition of Uganda’s PEAP (2)

  4. 1. Ambition of Uganda’s PEAP (3)

  5. PEAP and MDGs: PEAP pillars explained 1 – Economic Management 2 – Enhancing Production, competitiveness and income 3 - Security, conflict resolution and disaster management 4 - Good governance (Justice, law and order, democratization, public sector management) 5 - Human development (Health, education, water & sanitation, social development) * PEAP = Poverty Eradication Action Plan (equivalent of PRSP)

  6. 2. ScopeInvestment clusters: comparison between Uganda’s PEAP and MDGs

  7. 3. Rigor of Uganda’s PEAP • Plan rigorous in some aspects, but not in others. Examples: free bed nets for 4 m pregnant women; increase of per capita expenditure on drugs from $ 1.2 per capita to $2.5, Analysis rigorous in the following sectors: • Education (especially primary education) see Table 7.1 page 155 of the PEAP document) • Health (see Table 7.5 page 167) • Water and sanitation (especially the water component) (See Figure 7.1 page 169) • Works, housing and communication (infrastructure) • Not rigorous enough in remaining sectors

  8. 4. Timeframe • Uganda’s PEAP is a 3-year rolling planning framework. • Does not relate to Vision 2025, which is being transformed into Vision 2035. • Not aligned to MDGs and it is not consistent with short- long term goals and Vision 2025. • This is the last PEAP under Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. • The next PEAP will be under the National Planning Authority, and it will be aligned to Vision 2035, cascaded into three 10-year strategic plans each with two- 5year development.

  9. 5. Costing of Uganda’s PEAP • Sectors with investment plans have costed them, e.g.: • $ 951 million for rural water for 2001-2015; • about $ 481 million for urban water development; • Most interventions are not costed and budgeting is not aligned to the MDGs-based assessment.

  10. Challenges in Uganda • Timeframe looks too short • Financial and human resources • Resistance from MTEF implementing institutions. • Lack of enthusiasm and cooperation from other stakeholders. • Resistance based on not understanding the distinction between MDG-based planning and PRSP /PEAP

  11. Expectations • Resource persons • Financial resources • Assistance with high level negotiations • At NY, regional and national levels • With Donors, the UN system, bureaucrats, CSO • Assistance with coordination

  12. This process needs determination, Fortunately Uganda has lots of it!
