In a series of six National Development Plans (NDPs) guiding the delivery of the 2040 vision, the Government of Uganda is preparing the fourth (NDP IV) FY 2024/25-28/29.

The NDP III (FY2020/21 to 2024/25) introduced 20 Programmes, under a new Programme Planning Approach (PPA)which effectively replaced the Sector Wide Approach (SWAp) that was under NDP II.

To help coordinate and implement these programmes, lead ministries were assigned to each of the 20 programmes. The MoFPED was assigned to lead two Programmes: The Development Plan Implementation (DPI) and the Private Sector Development (PSD).

The development of the Programme Implementation Action Plan (PIAP) for FY 2024/25-28/29 commenced upon the issuance of the Planning Call Circular by the National Planning Authority (NPA) on 28^th May 2024. All Programmes in liaison with their respective contributing institutions were mandated to align their PIAPs to the strategic direction and objectives outlined in the National Development Plan IV (NDP IV). 

The secretariat for PSD/DPI Programmes as a coordinating unit for the two Programmes commenced the PIAP preparation FY2024/2025-29 by convening Programme Working Group meetings that were held at the Uganda Bureau of Statistics Conference Hall.  A Technical Working Group workshop was thereafter convened to comprehensively discuss and agree on institutional submissions for the NDPIV PIAP. This involved gathering input regarding Actions, Outputs and Output Indicators from the different Programme institutions. This information will then be compiled to form the PIAP for FY2024/25-28/29 which will be formally submitted to the PWG on 18/7/2024 for approval.
