The manual has been jointly developed by relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies(MDAs) in close consultation with local Governments. It provides detailed information and guidelines on the objectives, processes, organization and management of the Performance system to be applied including activities prior to, during and after assessment.

Ten years ago, the Credit Suisse Research Institute launched the first Global wealth report providing the most comprehensive and up-todate survey of household wealth. Since then the Global wealth report has become the standard reference point to monitor wealth growth across countries and the extent to which wealth inequalities are widening or narrowing.
The declining power of governments to address society’s big problems brings the conversation on to wealth inequality, the issue that in one shape or another really drives most of the risks facing the world today. Last year, on these pages of The Wealth Report, our keynote interviewee, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, expressed a hope that the Movement for Inclusive Capitalism, which she champions, would help create a fairer system of capitalism and globalisation
The reduction of poverty and vulnerability is an integral part of Uganda’s national development. This report considers the national development process from the point of view of an individual household. From this perspective, socioeconomic transformation means that all households are made more secure and hence forward looking with a strong incentive to invest. This requires that individuals have faith in a brighter future. The necessary sense of optimism can be provided in a number of ways. Three of the most important are an effective insurance mechanism or social safety net, a quality education for one’s child, and secure employment with a steady income. This motivates the three interrelated themes of the report – the extent to which Ugandans are vulnerable and unsure of their economic environment, inequality in the access to education opportunities, and household livelihoods.
In this analysis, we explained to what extent satellite data (as a proxy for environmental conditions) are correlated with household survey data. Whilst correlation abviously does not automatically imply causation, we suggest an evironmental approach is more likely to reveal causes than will the traditioal approach of small area mapping using cesus and survey data. However, it is first necessary to establish the relative predictive accuracies of the traditional and environmental approaches.
The PEAP provides an over-arching framework to guide public action to eradicate poverty. It has been prepared through a consultative process involving central and local Government, Parliament, Donors and Civil Society. In order to achieve middle-income status, Uganda needs to industrialise by enhancing its competitiveness. Industrialisation in Uganda will depend on using the resource base and hence on equipping farmers to understand the technical and quality requirements of commercial production. Government will therefore ensure the provision of public goods to support both agriculture and industry. In order to reverse the recent marked increase in inequality, Government will aim to increase the ability of the poorer households to participate in economic growth through self-employment inside and outside agriculture and wage employment.

The way of carrying out business in the world today is changing at a very high speed with new technologies taking a center stage.
