Foreword
Rt. Hon. Speaker and Honourable Members of Parliament, in fulfilment of the requirement under Section 6
(2) of the Budget Act, 2001; I have the honour to present to Parliament the Ministerial Policy Statement for
the Presidency detailing the planned outputs and activities and Budget Estimates for the Financial Year
2014/15.
The Vision of the Presidency remains: "A secure, well governed and developed nation" and the five (05)
Votes under the Presidency have continued to execute their mandates and deliver outputs geared towards
the attainment of this vision. The Presidency continues to promote peace and security, good governance,
accountability; coordinating the HIV/AIDS national multi –sectoral response, and mobilization of citizens
to participate in the Socio-Economic Transformation and Development of Uganda in line with Uganda's
Vision 2040.
Rt. Hon. Speaker and Honourable Members, I wish to report that as you might have noted from the three
quarterly reports that we submitted for this Financial Year, the resources that this august House voted for
the Presidency were utilized in line with the plans that you approved with minor adjustments caused by
budgetary constraints. I therefore take this opportunity to invite your guidance regarding the planned
activities for the Financial Year 2014/15.
I would like to register my appreciation to the Hon. Speaker, the Hon. Minister for Finance, Planning and
Economic Development, the Hon. Chairpersons and Members of the Parliamentary Committee on
Presidential Affairs, the Budget Committee and all Hon. Members of Parliament for the support that you
have continued to render to the Presidency towards the attainment of its overall goal of transforming the

For God and My Country

Ministry on the preliminary [budget] estimates .... by the 30th day of June in each year”. Budget Act 2001,

Vote Functions
Since the FY2011/12 budget cycle, the preparation of sector BFPs, Ministerial Policy Statements and
Budget Estimates centre around the notion of Vote Functions. A Vote Function is a set of programmes,
projects, and Local Government Grants, defining the roles and responsibilities of a vote/institution, and
contributing towards the attainment of vote and overall sector objectives.
As such, a Vote Function provides detailed information on centralised services, by capturing allocations to
Central Ministries and Stand Alone Votes, and decentralised services funded via grants to Local
Governments
Structure
The Ministerial Policy Statement is structured by Vote, as follows:
• Staff Establishment Structure
Provides details of approved staff structure for each programme and project (including names of staff
and vacant posts). This is clearly demonstrated in the form of an organogram.
• Vote Overview
This section sets out past performance and future plans for Central and Local Government Votes in
more detail. It is structured as follows for each Vote: A Vote Overview sets out key details of the
vote, including past performance, future plans and key performance issues to be addressed including
costing implications.

The major accomplishments registered during the FY 2013/14 covered the broad areas of leadership and
patriotism development; strengthening the monitoring of implementation of government programmes and

was coordinated especially through enlisting support from cultural and other Institutions; while the National
Ethical Values Policy was approved and launched.
In a bid to strengthen the monitoring of the implementation of government programs and projects, the
Presidency organized one induction/orientation workshop for all Resident District Commissioners and their
Deputies and a number of resolutions were made aimed at improving capacity to enforce better service
delivery. New Boards and Committees were appointed. A new Board of Directors was constituted for the
Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation; while the mandates of the Board of the Uganda AIDS
Commission and the Presidential Awards Committee were renewed with some new appointments. Also, the
National Honours and Awards Regulations, 2013 were published. The Uganda Media Centre has continued
to coordinate the provision of factual information concerning government policies and programmes within
and abroad.
Planned outputs for 2014/15
In the FY 2014/15, the Presidency will maintain broad goals similar to those of FY 2013/14 including but
not limited to strengthening the monitoring of the implementation of government programmes and projects,
promotion of security, bilateral relations and good neighborliness, strengthening policy formulation,
patriotism, leadership, good governance and accountability, coordination of HIV/AIDS multi-sectoral

services shall be strengthened and provided for the protection of Ugandans, and their property as well as
our territorial integrity.
The Presidency will engage all Ministries, Departments and Agencies with a view to agree on the
mechanisms for the involvement of RDCs/DRDCs in the monitoring of implementation of government
programmes In their respective districts. Related to the above, the MDAs are being urged to avail copies to
RDCs/DRDCs of all the contracts and progress reports of all programmes and projects being Implemented
in the districts to ensure proper and timely dissemination of information to the citizens. A three-year
strategic plan for the Directorate of Economic Affairs and Research was developed and it re-orients the
Directorate to monitor Key Economic Government programmes/projects and policies as per the new M&E
framework through synergies and collaborative arrangements with other key organs of Government.
