1. PROJECT
TITLE: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BUGANDA
DEVELOPMENT AGENCY SECRETARIAT
2. CODE: ADM.01.01
3. BACKGROUND:
The declining standards of living particularly of the rural community
and the urban poor in the Buganda Kingdom, Uganda’s Central Region, attributed
to the current appalling state of poverty and other societal ills have prompted
the Buganda Kingdom to evolve a community development initiative, the Buganda
Kingdom Development Strategy (BKDS) which is a mechanism by which the Kingdom
will mobilise its people for the speedy reversal of this sorry state of
affairs. BKDS is a 10-year integrated
community development endeavour whose implementation hinges on blending of the
centuries old successful community development traditional/cultural traits and
norms with contemporary development strategies. This development initiative is to be managed by the Buganda
Development Agency (BDA), the Kingdom’s body corporate, with full-time
Secretariat to efficiently and effectively manage the implementation of the
BKDS. The BDA Secretariat will be
charged with the BKDS the day-to-day operations, which include, but not limited
to:
(i)
The establishment and
maintenance of the BKDS database and development of relevant and prioritised
BKDS community projects/programmes;
(ii)
Seeking, networking and
co-ordinating financing for BKDS programmes and projects:
(iii)
Monitoring community
development programme activities of various stakeholders within the Kingdom;
(iv)
Initiating and
spearheading of community development policy formulation and guidance taking
into regard the requisite cultural/traditional initiatives;
(v)
Liaising with the
Central Government and Local Governments in Buganda on matters relating to
projects and programmes targeted for Buganda in the National Public Investment
Plan (PIP); and
(vi)
To liaise with NGO’s
and other development organs and stakeholders on matters relating to community
development within Buganda.
This
project, therefore, seeks to competently establish the BDA Secretariat with
full time well-qualified and equipped staff to provide the needed technical
support to BKDS.
4. OBJECTIVE:
The
project aims at sufficiently staffing, equipping and operationalising the BDA
Secretariat for its effective and efficient management and implementation of
Buganda Kingdom Development Strategy.
5. ACTIVITIES:
The
key activities of this project will include
(i)
Engagement of
well-qualified professional full time staff
(ii)
Adequately equipping
the BKDS planning unit
