The Second National Development Plan (NDP II) covered FY2015/16 to FY2019/20. It is the second in a series of six five‑year Plans aimed at achieving the Uganda Vision 2040. The goal of NDP II was to “attain middle income status by 2020”, to be realized through strengthening the country’s competitiveness for sustainable wealth creation, employment and inclusive growth. NDP II prioritized investment in three key growth opportunities: Agriculture; Tourism; Minerals, Oil and Gas, as well as in two fundamentals: Infrastructure and Human Capital Development.
