Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja has emphasized the need for stronger coordination among government institutions to improve service delivery and support Uganda's long-term economic growth. She made the call during a retreat for Chief Executive Officers and heads of boards of government agencies held at the National Leadership Institute in Kyankwanzi. The retreat focused on the whole-of-government approach, which encourages government institutions to work together in delivering services instead of operating independently.

The whole-of-government approach aims to ensure that government institutions work together seamlessly to deliver services, rather than operating in isolation. Nabbanja stressed that this approach is crucial for Uganda's economic growth, particularly as the country pursues its target of expanding the economy to US$500 billion by 2040. She noted that achieving this target requires a collective effort across government.

The retreat brought together leaders of government agencies to discuss ways of strengthening collaboration, improving institutional performance, and ensuring government programmes are implemented more effectively. The event provided a platform for participants to share experiences, identify challenges, and develop strategies for enhancing coordination and cooperation among government institutions.

Nabbanja emphasized that no single ministry, department, or agency can deliver the country's economic ambitions on its own. She called for a collective effort across government, stressing that greater coordination is essential for achieving Uganda's economic goals. The Prime Minister's remarks underscored the importance of a unified approach to service delivery.

The retreat was attended by CEOs and heads of boards of government agencies, who discussed ways to strengthen collaboration and improve institutional performance. The event was aimed at enhancing the implementation of government programmes and ensuring that services are delivered efficiently and effectively.

Uganda's economic growth is dependent on the effective implementation of government programmes and services. The whole-of-government approach is expected to play a critical role in driving the country's economic growth and development. By working together, government institutions can leverage their strengths and resources to achieve common goals.

The government's efforts to enhance coordination and cooperation among institutions are expected to have a positive impact on service delivery and economic growth. The Prime Minister's call for a whole-of-government approach reflects the government's commitment to achieving Uganda's economic ambitions and improving the lives of its citizens.
