How are Land Related Challenges Affecting Service Delivery in Uganda?

Abstract

Uganda aims at attaining middle income status through strengthening mechanisms for quality, effective and efficient service delivery. Evidence from monitoring work undertaken by the Budget Monitoring and Accountability Unit (BMAU) in Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MFPED) has repeatedly highlighted land related challenges as a critical impediment to effective and efficient service delivery in key sectors of Government. Service delivery is considered effective when intended outputs and outcomes are achieved as per the plan; and efficient if implementation is on schedule and within budget. This policy brief analyses the various dimensions of this problem and its effects on delivery of public services in Uganda for five financial years (2014/15-2018/19) in the affected sectors. Both primary and secondary data sources are used.
