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
