responsive legislation. Examples include: Advocacy around gender budgeting; the Land Act; electoral reforms; labour laws; the marriage and divorce laws; and continuing advocacy around the Domestic Relations Bill. 2.4.4 The capacity of the National Planning Authority (NPA) has been strengthened. Requisite staff have been recruited, and funding to the Authority increased. The NPA Board has also been revitalised. Progress has been achieved in strengthening the role of NPA in undertaking harmonised long-term development planning. The Uganda Law Reform Commission reviewed various legislations that inform the planning functions in government with a view to harmonising them. The legislation reviewed include: the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda; the NPA Act No. 15, 2002; the Local Governments Act, Cap 243; the Budget Act No. 6, 2001; and the Public Finance and Accountability Act, 2003.

Similarly, project support is projected to decline by UGX.32 billion (2percent) to UGX. 1,293.2 billion, which shows that Uganda‟s progress in revenue collection has steadily been on the rise. 2.4.6 A new National Population Policy for Social Transformation and Sustainable Development (of 2008) has been developed. This policy has provided an opportunity for further consideration of the tenets of population and provisions to take account of the changing demographic, socio-economic and health environment and other emerging issues.
