The Government of Uganda is implementing the Third Financial Management
and Accountability Programme (FINMAP III) with the primary purpose to
strengthen Public Financial Management (PFM) at all levels of government and
ensure efficient, effective and accountable use of public resources as a basis
for improved service delivery. The overall objective of FINMAP is derived from
the GoU PFM reform strategy for the period from July 2014 to June 2018,
launched in August 2014. In line with the strategy, FINMAP aims to encourage effective
service delivery through reinforcing mechanisms for budget credibility,
compliance and control; and to improve financial management practices through
implementation of automated financial management systems. FINMAP interventions
are implemented at both central and local government levels through a number of
components. The programme also has several stakeholders, including Development
Partners. The implementation of FINMAP III entails a significant amount of
coordination effort at all levels. This coordination requirement is met through
the contracting of Staff to support specific Programme areas.
