This report summarizes the findings of
the Uganda Sustainable Land Management Public Expenditure
Review (SLM PER). The SLM PER was undertaken to achieve six
main objectives: (i) establish a robust data base on
SLM-related public expenditure that can support credible
empirical analysis; (ii) develop a sound methodology for
conducting SLM PERs, which could guide similar work in the
future; (iii) analyze the level and composition of SLM
spending in the recent past; (iv) identify potential entry
points for public support based on the concept of
development pathways; (v) understand the institutional
arrangements for coordination on SLM issues; and (vi) draw
policy recommendations for the land use sector. Overall the
SLM PER aims at informing the current policy dialogue with
and within Uganda and thereby contributing to the
development of a common national strategy for the efficient
and effective scale-up of SLM interventions. The review is
expected to provide important input to: (i) the on-going
Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP)
process, including the SLM Country Strategic Investment
Framework (CSIF); and (ii) the Ugandan SLM Country Program
that will be supported by the World Bank and the Global
Environment Facility (GEF) through TerrAfrica. Uganda is
preparing a CSIF with the goal of establishing a country-led
operational roadmap for developing a sequenced program of
SLM interventions. The PER is among the recommended
diagnostic tools for CSlF preparation and SLM awareness
building. In general, this analytical work complements the
on-going Agriculture PER in Uganda.
