Analysis of the National Budget Estimates FY 2023/24 - Budget Lines for Local Government

31 Dec 2023

About 61 per cent (UGX 339.5 billion) of the funds were retained by the Ministry of Health (MoH), followed by the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MoGLSD). [...] All the funds were under the Ministry of Water and Environment (MoWE) and the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development (MoLH&UD). [...] The majority of the retained funds (UGX 262 billion) were for the acquisition (building) of roads and bridges and transferred to other government units. [...] Almost all the retained funds (UGX 170.7 billion) are external funding under the Ministry of Local Government (MoLG) and the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). [...] The proposed re-allocations of programme budgets to LGs are grounded in existing legal and policy frameworks as enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda 1995 (as amended), the LGA (CAP 243) and the Decentralization Policy.
