Foreword
Rt. Honorable Speaker, I present to you the Ministerial Policy Statement (MPS) for the Financial Year
2012/13, covering vote 019- Ministry of Water and Environment ( MWE) and its semi- autonomous
agencies namely vote 150-National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and vote 157-National
Forestry Authority ( NFA).

This Ministerial Policy Statement has been prepared and is being submitted to Parliament in accordance
with Section 6(1) of the Budget Act 2001. Overall, during FY 2011/12 the sector continued to register
remarkable tangible achievements despite the challenges encountered such as the high population growth,
low functionality, high cost technology options, overwhelming demand for Water for Production facilities,
the high rehabilitation costs for aged facilities, implications of adverse climate change and weak
enforcement/compliance in the areas of environmental laws/regulations.
Generally, this MPS upholds many of the good strategies and other initiatives introduced by Government
over the past years. In the FY 2012/13, government will continue to improve access to and functionality of
safe domestic water and sanitation facilities, increase storage capacity for water for production, safeguard
quality and quantity for both the surface and underground water resources, continue to demarcate
boundaries of wetlands, restore degraded ecosystems, focus on tree planting activities to enhance household
income and soil fertility improvement as well as promoting integration of adaptation and mitigation in
sector plans to address climate change effects. In addition, management of municipal solid waste will be
scaled up for a clean, healthy and productive environment. In the FY 2012/13, the budget for the Water and
Environment Sector is Ush 391.09bn. The figure includes Ushs 296.426bn for vote 019-Ministry of Water
and Environment, Ushs 5.68bn for vote 150-NEMA, Ushs 20.16bn for vote 157-NFA and Ushs 68.83bn for
vote 501-850 as Local Governments (LGs) Conditional Grants. While there is a slight nominal increase in
the sector allocation this FY, compared to the FY 2011/12, there are still a number of unfunded priorities,
especially with regard to the environment management and regulatory services for the oil and gas
exploration industry in Uganda budgeted at Shs 4.0bn.
I take this opportunity to register my appreciation to Parliament, the line Ministries, Local Governments,
Development Partners, the Private Sector, Civil Society Organizations and Local Communities for their
support which has been instrumental for all the achievements presented in this Ministerial Policy Statement.
Accordingly, I would now like to seek approval of Ush. 391.09bn, in the FY 2012/13, as the budget for
Vote 019 – MWE, vote 150-NEMA and vote 157-NFA The figure comprises of Ushs 9.75bn for wage,
Ushs 12.427bn as non-wage, Ushs 12.199bn as Non Tax Revenue, Ushs 205.992bn and Ushs 150.721bn as
domestic and donor capital development expenditures, respectively.
On behalf of the Government of Uganda, I pledge our resolve to execute the planned activities and outputs
for the FY 2012/13 and use the availed resources effectively to achieve the set objectives and goals

Structure of the Ministerial Policy Statement
“Each Minister shall cause to be prepared and submitted to Parliament a Policy Statement of the relevant
Ministry on the preliminary [budget] estimates .... by the 30th day of June in each year”. Budget Act 2001,
Section 6 (1)
Vote Functions
Since the FY2009/10 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:
• 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.
• Vote Annexes
Annex 1 provides profiles for Vote Functions, and their composition. Annex 2 provides detailed
profiles and annual workplan of each project and programme under the vote. Annex 3 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 Annexes 2 and 3 are not
present for LGs as it forms part of the Local Government BFPs.

Executive Summary
The Ministerial Policy Statement (MPS) has been prepared in conformity with guidelines issued by the
Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MFPED), as the principal document for
presenting details of the Ministry of Water and Environment, National Environment Management Authority
and National Foresty Authority budgets estimates for FY 2012/13 to Parliament.
This document entails the recommendations and responses on issues raised by Parliament during FY
2011/12, past and future planned vote outputs, medium term plans, major capital investments, actions for
improved sector performance, key expenditure allocations, unfunded outputs for FY 2012/13 and the
medium term, expenditure plans by item of expenditure, an overview of Cross Cutting Issues, annual and
quarterly work plans as well as procurement plans.
The Water and Environment sector directly contributes to the National Development plan (NDP) priorities
which include growth, employment and socio-economic development transformation. Proper management
of Environment and Natural Resources is a critical area to sustainable economic development. The National
Development Plan appreciates that the degraded environment and loss of vegetation cover grossly affects
other primary sectors like agricultural production, water for production and water resources resulting into
multiple effects of food security, people’s livelihoods and economic growth. Forest is equally critical
because it sustains water catchments system and plays a key role in mitigation of climate change effects.
In view of the above, the Ministry of Water and Environment (vote-019) will continue to play its role in
implementation of various government programmes through its respective vote functions covering; Rural
Water Supply and Sanitation, Urban Water Supply and Sewerage (Small and Large Towns), Water for
Production, Water Resources Management, Natural Resources Management (Environment, Forestry,
Wetlands) and Weather, Climate and Climate Change, Policy, Planning and Administration in order to
contribute to the national development. Similar contribution is from other independent votes affiliated to
the sector namely, National Environment Authority (NEMA)-vote 150 and National Forestry Authority -
vote 157.
Overall, the Water and Environment Sector budget provision for financial year 2012/13 is USh. 391.09bn
covering Vote 019-Water and Environment, Vote 150-NEMA, Vote 157-NFA and Vote 501-850 for LGs
Conditional Grants. This shows a nominal increase in the sector allocation as compared to approved budget
for financial year 2011/12 which provided for USh 272.6bn. Out of the total budget allocated to the sector,
UShs 296.426bn was allocated to Vote 019-Water and Environment, while UShs 5.68bn and UShs.
20.157bn was allocated to vote 150-NEMA and Vote 157-NFA respectively. Out of the UShs 296.426bn
allocated to vote 019, Shs. 68.827bn is allocated to Local Governments as Conditional Grant covering
Water Development, Sanitation and Wetlands. It is important to note the conditional Grants for Water
Development has been raised from Shs.54.583bn to Shs. 62.211bn while that of Wetlands has been raised
from Shs 0.785bn to Shs. 3.116bn to cater for environmental concerns under PRDP.
The allocations to vote functions (VFs) were made based on the sector priorities aimed at achieving the
National Development Plan priorities, sector objectives as well as the Millennium Development Goals
targets. The summary of critical sector achievements during FY 2011/12 and the planned outputs for FY
2012/13 are as follows;
