EditorialI am delighted to introduce the latest edition of our local governance briefer, a platform dedicated to sharing insights and policy recommendations to support local and central government decision-makers. In this issue, we focus on local governments' crucial roles in promoting sustainable development and fostering transparency, especially within Uganda's extractive industries. The theme for this edition of the briefer focuses on “Empowering Local Governance for Sustainable and Transparent Development”. This edition features two insightful articles that underscore the indispensable roles of local governments in environmental stewardship and fiscal transparency. The articles "Role of Local Governments in Sustainable Development" and "Fostering Transparency in Revenue Management" comprehensively analyse how local authorities can be pivotal in driving sustainable practices and ensuring accountability in the extractive sectors. Key Issues Highlighted:
Thus, as we navigate the complexities of Uganda's development landscape, the insights in this issue remind us of the pivotal role that local governments play. By strengthening their capacity and fostering a culture of transparency and accountability, we can ensure that the benefits of our natural resources are equitably distributed and sustainably managed. I therefore invite you to delve into these articles to further understand the issues and consider the recommendations provided. Together, we can empower local governments to become champions of sustainable development and guardians of fiscal integrity. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to improving governance in Uganda. In case you missed Issue no.08, please click here. Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Bainomugisha, Executive Director. |
