Development Plan Implementation(DPI) Programme Leadership

The Development Plan Implementation (DPI) Programme is coordinated by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED) through a multi-tier governance structure that provides strategic leadership, policy direction and technical oversight for the effective implementation of Programme interventions. The governance structure comprises the Leadership Committee, the Programme Working Group (PWG), Technical Working Groups (TWGs), and the DPI Programme Secretariat, each with distinct roles in ensuring coordinated Programme planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting.

Leadership Committee

The Leadership Committee is the highest decision-making body of the Programme. It provides strategic policy direction, oversight and guidance for the DPI Programme and ensures that Programme priorities remain aligned with the objectives of the Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV). It is chaired by the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development.

Programme Working Group (PWG)

The Programme Working Group (PWG) is the principal coordination and management body responsible for planning, budgeting and overseeing the implementation of the DPI Programme mandate. Chaired by the Permanent Secretary/Secretary to the Treasury and co-chaired by the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Prime Minister, the PWG brings together Permanent Secretaries and Heads of participating institutions to review Programme performance, coordinate implementation, approve Programme planning documents and provide recommendations to the Leadership Committee.

Technical Working Groups (TWGs)

These provide technical expertise and facilitate coordination across the Programme's strategic focus areas under NDPIV:

  • Development Planning, Research and Statistics Technical Working Group – chaired by the National Planning Authority and co-chaired by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics. 

  • Resource Mobilization and Budgeting Technical Working Group – chaired by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and co-chaired by the Uganda Revenue Authority. 

  • Oversight, Coordination and Monitoring Technical Working Group – chaired by the Office of the President and co-chaired by the Office of the Prime Minister. 

These Technical Working Groups support Programme planning, budgeting, monitoring, reporting and technical analysis to enhance the effective implementation of the Programme.

DPI Programme Secretariat

The DPI Programme Secretariat provides technical and administrative support to the Leadership Committee, Programme Working Group and Technical Working Groups. It coordinates Programme activities, facilitates stakeholder engagement, supports performance monitoring and reporting, and ensures effective implementation of Programme decisions. The Secretariat also coordinates the preparation of annual Programme performance reports as well as annual  review processes to promote accountability and continuous improvement.
