Kampala, Uganda — Deputy Inspector General of Government (DIGG) Dr Patricia Achan Okiria has joined key government stakeholders to review the annual performance of the Governance and Security Programme (GSP) for the 2025/2026 financial year, in a meeting aimed at assessing progress, identifying implementation challenges and strengthening accountability across the public sector.
The review, held Friday, October 30, at Imperial Royale Hotel and organised by the Office of the President, also featured the launch of the GSP annual performance report for FY 2025/2026.
The report marks the first assessment of performance under the programme’s second Strategic Plan, which is aligned with the implementation of the Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV).
The meeting brought together stakeholders to evaluate programme performance, identify challenges affecting implementation and propose mitigation measures, including more strategic approaches to advancing programme priorities in support of the Government’s Tenfold Growth Strategy.
Discussions also focused on areas requiring enhanced resource mobilisation to support the programme’s implementation. Dr Okiria’s participation highlighted the role of the Inspectorate of Government in promoting accountability and ensuring the proper utilisation of public resources.
The Inspectorate’s mandate contributes to Objective Five of NDP IV, which seeks to enhance good governance and security while strengthening the role of the State in national development.
Her presence also underscored the importance of collaboration among government institutions in promoting transparency, accountability and efficient service delivery to citizens.
The Governance and Security Programme brings together more than 30 Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) responsible for various aspects of governance and national security.
These include institutions mandated to uphold the rule of law, maintain security and public order, promote access to justice and human rights, and strengthen public policy governance, accountability and transparency.
The annual review provides an opportunity for participating institutions to assess their contribution to the programme’s priorities and identify areas requiring stronger coordination and improved implementation.
