The Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja today presided over the opening of the National Annual Performance Review at Speke Resort Munyonyo.
The event, which brings together key government officials and stakeholders, aims to assess the performance of the 3rd National Development Plan (NDP III) and identify strategies to overcome challenges in service delivery.
The fourth edition of the National Annual Performance Review, organized by the Office of the Prime Minister, is set to be a pivotal moment in Uganda’s development journey.
The conference, themed “Full Monetization of the Ugandan Economy through Commercial Agriculture, Industrialisation, Expanding and Broadening Services, Digital Transformation, and Market Access,” focuses on evaluating the implementation of the NDP III, which has been central to Uganda’s development agenda.
Prime Minister Nabbanja, in her opening remarks, emphasized the importance of this review in addressing the gaps that have hindered effective service delivery across various sectors.
“As we gather here today, our goal is not only to assess our past performance but also to identify the bottlenecks and challenges that have slowed down our progress. This review is crucial for us to realign our strategies and ensure that the NDP III’s objectives are met,” Nabbanja stated.
The review comes at a time when Uganda is grappling with the need to transform its economy from subsistence to commercial, with a focus on sectors such as agriculture, industrialization, and digital services.
Nabbanja highlighted that the conference would offer a platform for open dialogue and collaborative problem-solving among ministers, permanent secretaries, heads of ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), Chief Administrative Officers (CAOs), and Resident District Commissioners (RDCs).
Participants are expected to engage in discussions on key issues affecting the implementation of the NDP III, including the need for better coordination among government agencies, the importance of data-driven decision-making, and the necessity of aligning resources with priority areas.
The review will also examine the impact of ongoing projects and propose solutions to expedite the achievement of the plan’s goals.
Nabbanja called on all attendees to take an active role in the discussions, urging them to propose actionable solutions that can be implemented to enhance service delivery.
“We must work together to ensure that every Ugandan feels the impact of our development efforts. Our collective responsibility is to turn our plans into tangible results,” she said.
The conference will continue over the next two days, with various sessions dedicated to specific sectors, including agriculture, industry, services, and digital transformation.
The outcomes of this review are expected to guide the government’s priorities and resource allocation in the coming years, ensuring that Uganda remains on track to achieve its development objectives under the NDP III.
