UNDP Project Formulation/ Project Document Preparation Consultancy in Uganda

Background to UNDP Programme

In April 2010 UNDP and the Government of Uganda (GOU) endorsed the Country Programme Action Plan (CPAP) 2010 -2014, a five year plan that guides the implementation of development interventions that respond to government prionties as stated in the National Development (NDP).

Aligning to national development porities, the UN system in the country developed the United Nations Development Assistance framework (UNDAF 2010-2014) which aims to support the government in addressing challenges identified in the NDP. The CPAP therefore responds to the pñorities as articulated in the UNDAF.
