Yesterday, at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) Kyakwanzi, together with the @NPA_UG Chairperson,@pamdebams had the honour of presenting to His Excellency the President, @KagutaMuseveni, the current and incoming #NRM Hon. Members of Parliament at their ongoing Retreat, on how to fast-track the achievement of the 10-fold growth ambition. The #NDPIV is the first Plan in the implementation of this ambition. At the centre of this is socio-economic transformation.

I articulated the areas Government is prioritizing to achieve this. These include: Full monetization of the economy via wealth creation initiatives; Value addition in agriculture, tourism & minerals; Knowledge economy & STI interventions; Investing in SGR high-speed rail & meter gauge railway; Infrastructure development & maintenance; Reduction in the cost of credit through UDB, UDC and other financial solutions; Revenue generating interventions; Cost effective delivery of social services; Culture & creative industry & Games & sports with focus on AFCON; and investment in Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA), among others.

These priorities form our blueprint & roadmap towards transformative prosperity for all Ugandans.

I encouraged the Hon. MPs to champion the implementation of these priorities, with urgency, unity and synergy to deliver the much desired socio-economic transformation.

During the #NDP Indicator Manual training, Mr. Kintu Anthony Mwanje,the Head of Secretariat for Private Sector Development (PSD) and Development Plan Implementation (DPI) Programmes highlighted that; the NDPIII midterm review and other programme studies revealed the lack of data on indicators (baselines, targets and performance) as one of the key M&E challenges faced during the implementation of NDPIII.
Therefore, the Development Plan Implementation (DPI) programme has developed the NDP Indicator and Programme-Based Budgeting(PBB) Manual as one of the key interventions to improve the #NDPIV implementation performance with the aim of boosting skills for MDAs and LGs in development of Strategic Development Plans. Mr Kintu added that the expected outcome is atleast 98% of MDA and LG Development Plans passing the NPA Plan & budget alignment assessment.
