derived from IOM membership which

include: helping Ugandans in the diaspora

when being repatriated back home;

handling the evacuation of high profile

refugees from Uganda to other countries;

and handling IDPs.

In case the outstanding subscription fees

monitor and coordinate service delivery

and development initiatives in the sub-

Country.

17 Budget enhancement for

food and non-food relief

items to cater for

emerging disasters over

the Medium Term

5.00 Regular occurrences of disasters has

resulted into high demand for relief and

emergency response throughout the

country yet the current budgetary

allocations are inadequate to meet the

demands.

Total 551.24 This figure is likely to increase if/when

the proposal in the NDP2 to establish a

Special Program for Busoga Sub

Region is implemented (details are

being worked out

These unfunded priorities have been communicated to MoFPED for consideration given the

resource constraints. The implication of this is that Office of the Prime Minister may not be

able to implement these important priorities over the Medium Term.
