ACODE’s Democratic Governance and Accountability Agenda

The rationale for decentralization is to promote efficient and accountable governance through increased involvement of people in the way they are governed. This is achieved by

empowering local governments to engage in localized planning and program implementation. ACODE’s democratic governance and accountability agenda is implemented

through two major initiatives, namely: The Local Government Councils’ Scorecard Initiative (LGCSCI) and the Centre for Budget and Economic Governance (CBEG).

About CBEGThe Center for Budget and Economic Governance (CBEG) is funded by the Hewlett

Foundation. The CBEG seeks to improve the quality of life of Ugandans by promoting transparent and accountable public expenditure as well as increasing economic opportunities

for women, men and youth. The Center has three primary areas of focus including; Transparency and Accountability, Local Economic Development and Regional Integration.

Activities under the Center include; Research and Analysis, Advocacy and Outreach and Capacity Building and Learning. The CBEG executes ACODE’s mandate under the Budget Transparency Initiative (BTI) whose aim is to improve transparency and accountability of

public expenditure in Uganda. The Initiative is a partnership between Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MFPED), Budget Strengthening Initiative (BSI) the

Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA).

About LGCSCI The Local Government Council’s Scorecard Initiative (LGCSCI) is a strategic social

accountability initiative that empowers citizens to demand accountability from their elected local leaders and enables local governments to respond to these demands more effectively and efficiently. The scorecard is premised on the hypothesis that a combination of regular

performance assessments of elected leaders; and continuous provision of performance information to citizens will increase focus on public service delivery and good governance by building the demand for accountability through electoral and other democratic processes. In its 10th year of implementation (since 2009) the LGCSCI covers 35 districts across the country.

It is implemented by ACODE in partnership with Uganda Local Governments Association (ULGA) with funding from DGF and Hewlett Foundation
