The Policy Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit (PIMEU) in the Office of the Prime Minister (OPMC) has begun a one week policy alignment workshop on Monday with all Permanent Secretaries.
The theme of the workshop is ‘aligning the NDS 2016- 2035 with GNUT’s 100 day program’.
The workshop sets the basis for the on- going consultation between PIMEU and government ministries in the implementation of government policies and programs.
Giving the keynote address to open the program, the Acting Prime Minister Honorable Frederick Kologeto urged responsible officers to pay attention to the five recommendations of the Medium- Term Review Report (MTR) which was released last year.
Acting PM Kologeto stated that “…these recommendations show vividly the constraints and challenges line ministries encountered in their performances that require beefing up”.
The acting Prime Minister highlighted that the report pointed out significant barriers that hampered progress in the areas of Health and Education, land reform, governance and compliances in the extractive industry to name a few.
“…I hope this workshop would assist all participants to the need to focus our attention to drawing up proper policy matrix for Government for National Unity and Transformation (GNUT) to achieve the desired results and outcomes and subsequently improve the livelihoods of our beloved country,” Acting PM Kologeto stated.
MP Kologeto added that by re-aligning the policies and programs of the government- taking into account the systematic challenges encountered in areas highlighted in the Medium Term Report (MTR) 2025- as a nation will yield the desired results and outcomes placed on our shoulders as citizens of this country.
