Africa-Press – Uganda. The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development has officially inaugurated and inducted the Public Investment Management Plus (PIMPLUS) Operation Technical Committee (OTC), marking a significant step in the government’s ongoing public finance management reforms.
The induction ceremony, held at Speke Resort Munyonyo, was presided over by the Director Budget at the Ministry, Hannington Ashaba, who emphasized the committee’s strategic importance in improving the efficiency, coordination, and delivery of public investments.
PIMPLUS is a flagship reform initiative under the Public Finance Management Reform Strategy (PFMRS), designed to strengthen public investment management and improve the management of public assets.
The initiative plays a central role in supporting the implementation of the Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV) and the Tenfold Growth Strategy through enhanced processes for project preparation, budgeting, execution, and asset maintenance.
The newly inaugurated Technical Committee comprises 29 members drawn from 17 government institutions, reflecting a multi-sectoral approach to public investment oversight and coordination.
The OTC will serve as a key governance structure for the PIMPLUS Operation, providing operational and technical support to ensure timely and effective implementation of planned targets across all implementing entities.
Its mandate includes technical oversight, coordination of implementation efforts, and alignment of entity-level allocations and implementation plans with the Program Expenditure Framework (PEF), among other responsibilities.
Speaking at the induction ceremony, Ashaba underscored the committee’s role in strengthening delivery systems across government.
“The establishment of this Technical Committee is critical to ensuring that public investments are well-prepared, properly coordinated, and effectively implemented in line with our national development priorities,” he said.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to advancing reforms that improve public financial management, enhance accountability, and accelerate the delivery of priority development outcomes.
