Weak capacity of local governments

Implement a national performance contract for local governments tying budget allocation to minimum digital service delivery thresholds and standardised national licensing workflows via UGHub

Not started
High priority
Status confirmed 11 August 2026

Agreed, but implementation has not begun.

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.
