NDP III (FY2020/21–FY2024/25) focused on increasing household incomes and quality of life through programme-based planning and sustainable industrialisation.
Sustainable industrialisation for inclusive growth, employment and sustainable wealth creation
Increase Household Incomes and Improved Quality of Life of Ugandans
The Third National Development Plan (NDP III) covered FY2020/21 to FY2024/25. It is the third in a series of six National Development Plans guiding Uganda toward Vision 2040. The goal of NDP III was to “Increase Household Incomes and Improved Quality of Life of Ugandans”, pursued under the theme of “Sustainable industrialisation for inclusive growth, employment and sustainable wealth creation”. NDP III introduced the programme approach to planning to focus implementation on delivery of common results (including SDGs, East African Community targets and Africa Agenda 2063 targets), strengthen alignment and eliminate the ‘silo’ approach to service delivery, and provide a framework for programme‑based budgeting.
UCU contributes to national development by building human capital, generating evidence through research, and partnering for inclusive service delivery. UCU Libraries and Archives strengthen this work by enabling trusted access to knowledge, information literacy, and preservation of records that support accountability and learning.
These repository outputs make the contribution more visible: UCU research informs health systems, education quality, agriculture and livelihoods, digital transformation, environment and resilience, governance, heritage, and economic policy.
