Programme Quality and Delivery

More Ugandans are becoming poorer and more vulnerable according to the recent report of the Uganda National Bureau of Statistics (UBOS). Despite the economy showing high growth rates, service delivery is reducing and more people are getting poorer. Donors annually report a reduction in the funding available to meet the needs of the most vulnerable people. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economies of developed countries where the highest donor funds come from is likely to make the situation even stiffer. PELUM Uganda has been successful in sourcing diverse donor funds; however, the changing funding environment in the country is likely to affect PELUM Uganda. The threat of reduction in donor funding calls for strong program management systems to effectively and efficiently deliver quality programs that donors are confident and prepared to fund. We are aware that we need to grow our operations at the same pace as we grow our programs. We have made considerable progress in strengthening our systems, we need to make more efforts in program quality management. We will improve documentation and learning from our programs, the work of member organizations and communicate effectively to donors, peer agencies and other actors in such a way that we are seen as a “go- to- agency” for credible evidence-based information to influence decision making processes to advance agroecology and natural resource management.

During the new strategic plan 2022-2026, we will continue to strengthen our governance systems, and realign our structures to effectively and efficiently deliver quality programs. Our target will be to sustain annual growth of 10% in the financing, strengthen accountability and budget absorption, strengthen governance and operations structures and systems and strengthen and nurture strategic partnerships.
