Uganda Sustainable Land Management : Public Expenditure Review
This report summarizes the findings of the Uganda Sustainable Land Management Public Expenditure Review (SLM PER). The SLM PER was undertaken to achieve six main objectives: (i) establish a robust data base on SLM-related public expenditure that can support credible empirical analysis; (ii) develop a sound methodology for conducting SLM PERs, which could guide similar work in the future; (iii) analyze the level and composition of SLM spending in the recent past; (iv) identify potential entry points for public support based on the concept of development pathways; (v) understand the institutional arrangements for coordination on SLM issues; and (vi) draw policy recommendations for the land use sector. Overall the SLM PER aims at informing the current policy dialogue with and within Uganda and thereby contributing to the development of a common national strategy for the efficient and effective scale-up of SLM interventions. The review is expected to provide important input to: (i) the on-going Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) process, including the SLM Country Strategic Investment Framework (CSIF); and (ii) the Ugandan SLM Country Program that will be supported by the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through TerrAfrica. Uganda is preparing a CSIF with the goal of establishing a country-led operational roadmap for developing a sequenced program of SLM interventions. The PER is among the recommended diagnostic tools for CSlF preparation and SLM awareness building. In general, this analytical work complements the on-going Agriculture PER in Uganda.
Summary: | This report summarizes the findings of
the Uganda Sustainable Land Management Public Expenditure
Review (SLM PER). The SLM PER was undertaken to achieve six
main objectives: (i) establish a robust data base on
SLM-related public expenditure that can support credible
empirical analysis; (ii) develop a sound methodology for
conducting SLM PERs, which could guide similar work in the
future; (iii) analyze the level and composition of SLM
spending in the recent past; (iv) identify potential entry
points for public support based on the concept of
development pathways; (v) understand the institutional
arrangements for coordination on SLM issues; and (vi) draw
policy recommendations for the land use sector. Overall the
SLM PER aims at informing the current policy dialogue with
and within Uganda and thereby contributing to the
development of a common national strategy for the efficient
and effective scale-up of SLM interventions. The review is
expected to provide important input to: (i) the on-going
Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP)
process, including the SLM Country Strategic Investment
Framework (CSIF); and (ii) the Ugandan SLM Country Program
that will be supported by the World Bank and the Global
Environment Facility (GEF) through TerrAfrica. Uganda is
preparing a CSIF with the goal of establishing a country-led
operational roadmap for developing a sequenced program of
SLM interventions. The PER is among the recommended
diagnostic tools for CSlF preparation and SLM awareness
building. In general, this analytical work complements the
on-going Agriculture PER in Uganda. |
