All reforms

Weak capacity of local governments

Digitise local government licensing, standardise workflows, connect local governments to UGHub and skill officers countrywide

In progress
High priority
Status confirmed 11 August 2026

Implementation is underway.

Where this stands

NITA-U integration of LG licensing systems into UGHub underway.

Why this reform was agreed

District processes are uneven and local governments lack ICT systems and trained personnel.

Ongoing and planned interventions

The Integrated Revenue Administration System (IRAS) has been scaled to nearly all districts, improving revenue collection and administration. All local governments are mandated to use Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP), promoting transparency, accountability and value for money. NITA-U is integrating local government licensing systems into the UGHub platform for seamless data sharing.
