Finance Ministry Launches Strategic Plan, Client Charter and Service Delivery Standards
In line with the National Planning Act and the National Planning Call Circular issued by the National Planning Authority, the Ministry prepared and approved its Strategic Plan, Client Charter and Service Delivery Standards for the period 2025/26 to 2029/30.
These documents constitute the core management framework for the Ministry and will support the implementation of the 4th National Development Plan (NDP IV) and the Tenfold Growth Strategy.
Finance Minister Matia Kasaija during the launch said the Strategic Plan, Client Charter and Service Delivery Standards unveiled are a testament of the Ministry’s dedication to professionalism, integrity, and accountability.
“At the heart of this transformation agenda is fiscal credibility. By maintaining disciplined fiscal management, strengthening domestic revenue mobilisation, and ensuring our public investments deliver measurable returns, we lay the foundation for the tenfold economic growth ambition,” said the Minister.
Kasaija said fiscal credibility is not just a technical goal, it is the bedrock of investor confidence, macroeconomic stability, and public trust.
The Deputy Head of Public Service and Deputy Secretary to Cabinet, Dr. Theopista Wenene represented the Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet, Lucy Nakyobe.
In her statement Nakyobe congratulated the Finance Ministry (MoFPED) for developing these key documents that will guide the interventions of the Ministry over the next five years in line with the NDP IV.
She said in the execution of its mandate, the Finance Ministry is expected to support other Ministries, Departments and Agencies as well as Local Governments to implement the NDP IV, adding that MoFPED is one of the most critical institutions of Gov’t that should provide leadership by example in conforming to the set standards.
She emphasized that effective service delivery is central to restoring public confidence in government institutions, adding that the launch demonstrates a strong commitment to the principles of accountability, performance management, and results-oriented governance.
The Permanent Secretary/Secretary to the Treasury, Dr Ramathan Ggoobi said the goal of MoFPED over the next five years is to “Establish and Sustain Fiscal Policy Credibility, Efficient Public Investment, and Coordinated Development Financing as the Foundation for Tenfold Economic Growth,” under the theme “Fostering Strategic Investments for Rapid and Inclusive Economic Growth.”
He said the Plan is built on six (6) pillars namely;
- Strengthening macroeconomic and fiscal policy credibility,
- Mobilising and coordinating financing instruments to reduce the cost of capital and crowd in private sector investment,
- Expanding and diversifying sustainable financing for development while preserving debt sustainability,
- Strengthening public investment management for structural transformation,
- Improving the efficiency, credibility, and development impact of public expenditure,
- Building institutional capacity, systems, and data infrastructure for effective governance and delivery.
“Our agenda is ambitious: to achieve average economic growth of at least 8%, reduce poverty, create new jobs, and sustain macroeconomic stability. We will prioritise flagship interventions such as financing oil and gas commercialisation, capitalising government development banks and financing schemes, supporting industrial transformation, empowering women entrepreneurs, and making the PDM more efficient to transition households into the money economy and profitable enterprises,” said Dr Ggoobi.
