The Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago, has officially opened a Workshop on the presentation of the KCCA Integrated Development Strategy (IDS) 2020-21 to 2024-25 to KCCA Councillors and Directors.
This is in line with the Lord Mayor’s pro-people policy of Consultative Leadership for proper planning and sustainable transformation.
Lukwago emphasized that Sections 21 and 46 of the KCCA Act are bedrocks for the city transformation.
He said they provide for key strategic instruments and the Authority is duty bound to prepare a comprehensive and integrated Capital City Development Plan.
He said these tools guide the socio-economic development in the City and called on each member to be seized with a copy of the report of the consultants on the development of the Kampala Structural Development Plan.
He added that targets must be in sync with the National Development Plan, Vision 2040 and SDGs.
Lukwago also called for Resource Mobilization because it isn’t enough to make plans for shelving.
He made reference to Tuesday’s floods in the City “yet we launched the Drainage Master Plan which is the solution to all city floods especially when we are faced with torrential rains. Plans are made for a purpose and they aren’t an end themselves,†he noted.
