New Governance And Security Programme Unveiled By Government

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news March 1, 2023

The government of Uganda has officially unveiled the governance and security programme to its development partners. The program brings together 33 government agencies in charge of upholding the rule of law and ensuring security.

They are also responsible for observing law and order, public policy governance. They as well observe administration of justice in the country. The program will also do well in promoting human rights, accountability and transparency.

Government officials from the 33 agencies met with development partners on Tuesday at Speke Resort Hotel in Munyonyo. Milly Babirye Babalanda, the Minister for Presidency said the program plays part in the fifth objective of the National Development Plan III.

The objective aims at strengthening the state’s role in development.

“With 32 agencies under one programme, the responsibility to deliver for results cannot be over-emphasized. This, therefore, requires meticulous planning and alignment of government of Uganda interventions to critical priority areas which we must package carefully for marketing to our development partners for support,” Babalanda said.

She also hoped the joint program meetings with development partners become regular. She said this will help strengthen implementation by coordinating support to programme objectives and policies.

“It is also my sincere hope that, that the joint program working group with our development partners should explore other priority areas formerly not attractive to development assistance. These areas will be explored and presented to development partners in the subsequent discussions after the creation of a governance and security program development partners group.”

The governance and security program has a number of government agencies and ministries. Some of these include the Ministry of Public Service, the Police force, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Uganda Prisons Service among others.
