Agriculture Development in Uganda: Resource Allocation for Local Economic Development Related Expenditures

The United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) requested a Capstone team to assist in improving the way it allocates basket funds for local economic develop­ment projects. The Capstone team trav­eled to Uganda to perform an institutional assessment of public service delivery in the agriculture sector. The main tasks involved conducting a stakeholder analy­sis for the agriculture sector and docu­menting service functions and the flow of resources to local governments from vari­ous actors, including central ministries, donor partners, and NGOs. The informa­tion generated through this research is intended to facilitate dialogue between central ministries, UNCDF, and the Local Government Finance Commission regard­ing the targeting of resources and techni­cal assistance to local governments.
