Planning, Amos Lugoloobi, underscored the critical role of public investment management in driving national and socio-economic transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at the 2nd Public Investment Management Conference, Lugoloobi emphasized that Uganda\u2019s aspirations for a better future hinge on the ability to manage public investments in a strategic, efficient, and sustainable manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He reiterated the government\u2019s commitment to enhancing the integration of medium-term expenditure frameworks, which are essential for aligning budgetary allocations with long-term development goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lugoloobi also highlighted the importance of strengthening revenue mobilization efforts to ensure adequate funding for priority projects while rationalizing expenditures to focus on core national priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Our mandate is clear: we must continue to invest in Uganda\u2019s future prudently, ensuring that every shilling yields meaningful and lasting returns,\u201d the Minister stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He emphasized that effective public investment management focuses on maximizing impact, not just spending, and called for collaboration between the government, development partners, and the private sector to boost Uganda\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the country strives to realize its development agenda, Lugoloobi\u2019s remarks reinforced the need for disciplined fiscal management and strategic investments that deliver tangible benefits for current and future generations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development (MoFPED-Uganda) remains at the forefront of these efforts, ensuring that public funds are utilized effectively to drive inclusive growth and prosperity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kampala, Uganda &#8211; The Minister of State for Planning, Amos Lugoloobi, underscored the critical role of public
