Background
The Government of Uganda has intensified efforts to improve the quality, efficiency, and impact of public investments, recognizing that weaknesses in project execution rather than project identification alone remain a major constraint to achieving development outcomes. In line with this, Government is in the process of implementing the Public Investment and Asset Management for Growth and Resilience Operation (PIM Plus) for the period October 2025 to September 2031, a targeted intervention designed to
strengthen implementation support, monitoring, and delivery of priority projects within the Public Investment Plan (PIP). PIM Plus complements the existing Public Investment Management framework by extending Government oversight beyond project appraisal and entry into the PIP, to focus on execution, problem-solving, and results delivery, in line with NDP IV and the broader
public sector performance agenda. It is coordinated through Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and the National Planning Authority (NPA); implemented by selected ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs); and financed by the Government of Uganda, and the World Bank. The Operation Technical Committee (OTC), Operation Steering Committee (OSC), and the Public Expenditure Management Committee (PEMCOM) are in place to provide oversight over the Operation. Implementation of PIM Plus is coordinated through the PFM Reforms Coordination Unit
(RCU), which provides cross-cutting reform coordination, programme oversight, monitoring, and reporting. The Project Analysis and Public Investment Management Department (PAP) is the technical secretariat of the Programme.
