According to the results, Uganda’s overall score is higher than the global average of 45%, and Uganda ranks second in East Africa and second only to South Africa.

The contribution of citizens worldwide to the implementation of the budget is 14%.

When releasing the results, the Commissioner of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Budget Policy and Assessment, Godwin Kakama, promised to deepen the government’s involvement with the public on budget issues.

Kakama, who spoke on behalf of the ministry, said it would encourage members of the private and executive authorities to exchange views on matters related to the national budget.

 “We will make pilot mechanisms for public members and executive officers to exchange views on national budget matters when formulating the national budget,” Kakama said.
