Programme Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Officer

The Government of Uganda (GoU) has pursued Public Financial Management (PFM) reforms since the early 1990s to support the goals of good governance, inclusive growth, and macroeconomic stability, as articulated in the National Development Plans and Vision 2040.

Building on the achievements and lessons of implementation to date, the Resource Enhancement and Accountability Programme (REAP) serves as the Government’s primary vehicle for implementing the PFM Reform Strategy (July 2025 – June 2030). REAP is set to further strengthen resource mobilisation, enhance planning and public investment management, and deepen accountability mechanisms to improve the quality and effectiveness of service delivery.

The programme structure for REAP is functionally organised around core areas of financial management, procurement, planning, monitoring and evaluation, human resources, and electronic systems. Staff are contracted and deployed to support the Government Task Manager and implementing institutions to ensure timely execution of reform interventions.
