PEAP and Planning process……
Framework within which the government’s planning effort is conducted
Guides the formulation of Sector Wide Approaches -SWAPs (education, health, water, agriculture, etc.)
Public expenditure implications of SWAPs are implemented through the budget under MTEF
Links between PEAP and SWAPs are iterative
![Page 14: National development strategies for development cooperation: A case of Uganda Marios Obwona Economic Policy Research Centre, Kampala](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649da25503460f94a8f768/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Has become the country’s overall planning framework guiding preparation of detailed sector strategic plans based on the Sector Wide Approach (SWAPs)
PEAP sets the framework for other plans but it is also the product of those plans.

PEAP implementation…..
PEAP implementation – partnership approach Heavily dependent on donor aid – Gov has
strong ownership of policies PEAP gives the private sector and civil
society a clear and undisputed shared responsibility for implementing the plan
The private sector and civil society are welcomed both as providers of services and as counterbalance to government.

Development cooperation
Subscribes to the same overall goals as the PEAP and uses the same indicators for monitoring achievements
Agrees that a holistic cross-sectional approach is necessary to reduce poverty
Buys into the budget support modalities to aid.
![Page 20: National development strategies for development cooperation: A case of Uganda Marios Obwona Economic Policy Research Centre, Kampala](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649da25503460f94a8f768/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Development cooperation programmes focus on Poverty reduction-requiring a strategic, multi-
faceted and sophisticated approach Good governance and decentralization Economic growth and private sector
development Social development (health- HIV/AIDS
prevention and control, education, roads, water and sanitation, etc.
Democracy and human rights.
![Page 21: National development strategies for development cooperation: A case of Uganda Marios Obwona Economic Policy Research Centre, Kampala](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649da25503460f94a8f768/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Principles of cooperation
Donor coordination/harmonization – Uganda Joint Assistance Strategy (UJAS)
Principle of recipient responsibility – that is cooperation based on Uganda’s development strategies.
Government of Uganda is responsible for planning, implementing (including procurement), monitoring and controlling activities in the cooperation programme.
![Page 22: National development strategies for development cooperation: A case of Uganda Marios Obwona Economic Policy Research Centre, Kampala](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649da25503460f94a8f768/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Grants are reflected in public plans, budgets and accounts managed in accordance with national administrative standards and procedures – but to meet international standards and procedures
Donors consult at macro and sector levels with government regarding the profile and priorities of their cooperation.

Challenges…
![Page 24: National development strategies for development cooperation: A case of Uganda Marios Obwona Economic Policy Research Centre, Kampala](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649da25503460f94a8f768/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Challenges…
Government revenue as a proportion of GDP stagnated around 13%, well below African average – level is too low to finance the present public sector service delivery and ensure the sustainability of the many donor-funded programmes.
Good governance is vital for creating a conducive environment for development. Serious capacity constraints exits in most private and public institutions.
![Page 25: National development strategies for development cooperation: A case of Uganda Marios Obwona Economic Policy Research Centre, Kampala](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649da25503460f94a8f768/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Public service delivery, particularly at the local level remains weak and systems of ensuring accountability are still not working well.
An effective, responsible and accountable public service is key to implementing effective poverty eradication policies.

Conclusions…

Conclusions…
There is total alignment of donor development aid with national development strategies as well as the internationally agreed development goals like the MDGs.
The PEAP formulation and implementation has resulted in fewer aid conditionalities in Uganda.
