The Government of Uganda is implementing the Third Financial Management
and Accountability Programme (FINMAP III) with the primary purpose to

the GoU PFM reform strategy for the period from July 2014 to June 2018,
launched in August 2014. In line with the strategy, FINMAP aims to encourage
effective service delivery through reinforcing mechanisms for budget
credibility, compliance and control; and to improve financial management
practices through implementation of automated financial management systems.
FINMAP interventions are implemented at both central and local government
levels through a number of components. The programme also has several
stakeholders, including Development Partners. The implementation of FINMAP III
entails a significant amount of coordination effort at all levels. This coordination
requirement is met through the contracting of Staff to support specific
Programme areas.
