The Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfers Program
The Uganda Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfers (UgIFT) Program is a platform established back in 2017 with an objective to improve the adequacy and equity of fiscal transfers, and improve fiscal management of resources by Local Governments for health and education services at local levels.
It addresses three constraints that have a major adverse impact on service delivery: (a) the large-scale horizontal inequities in the per capita amounts of transfers received by the Local Governments; (b) the inadequate level of per capita social expenditures in poorer Local Governments; and (c) the poor fiscal management of resources by Local Governments.
