food and non-food relief
items to cater for
emerging disasters over
the Medium Term
5.00 Regular occurrences of disasters has
resulted into high demand for relief and
emergency response throughout the
country yet the current budgetary
allocations are inadequate to meet the
demands.
Total 551.24 This figure is likely to increase if/when
the proposal in the NDP2 to establish a
Special Program for Busoga Sub
Region is implemented (details are
being worked out
These unfunded priorities have been communicated to MoFPED for consideration given the
resource constraints. The implication of this is that Office of the Prime Minister may not be
able to implement these important priorities over the Medium Term.
