Strengthening of national planning and institutional frameworks to support commitment
Uganda's SDG implementation is guided by the national SDG Coordination framework an SDG roadmap. Adopted in 2016 and revised in 2020, the SDG Coordination framework brings together both state and non state actors as core stakeholders in SDG implementation. The framework highlights the critical role of the five technical working groups including Data, Planning and Mainstreaming, Resource mobilization, communication and Coordination, monitoring and reporting for SDGs.
The Coordination framework brings together the private sector through the SDG private sector platform to support implementation of SDGs, the CSOs through the CSO core reference group among others. The SDG roadmap is designed to provide and define implementation mechanisms for the coordination framework and is aligned to the third National Development Plan (NDPIII)
