DEVELOPMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION (DPI) PROGRAMME

The Development Plan Implementation (DPI) Programme is one of the eighteen (18) Programmes under Uganda's Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV) for the period FY 2025/26–FY 2029/30. Coordinated by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED), the Programme provides the strategic framework for strengthening the implementation of the National Development Plan across Government and ensuring that national development priorities are translated into measurable results.

The Programme is mandated to improve the performance of national and sub-national development plans by strengthening evidence-based planning, sustainable resource mobilization, budgeting, accountability, coordination, oversight, monitoring and evaluation. Through these interventions, the Programme enhances Government's capacity to deliver efficient, transparent and results-oriented public service while promoting value for money in the implementation of national development priorities.

The DPI Programme fosters collaboration among Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Local Governments, constitutional bodies, development partners, civil society organizations and the private sector to strengthen institutional capacity, improve policy coherence and enhance coordination in the implementation of Government Programmes and projects. By promoting integrated planning, effective resource utilization and robust performance management systems, the Programme contributes to improved service delivery and sustainable socio-economic transformation.

The Programme is implemented through a coordinated governance structure comprising the Leadership Committee, Programme Working Group, Technical Working Groups and the DPI Programme Secretariat, which provide strategic leadership, policy guidance and technical coordination to ensure effective implementation of Programme interventions.
