UN Uganda Annual Results Report 2024

The UN Uganda Annual Results Report 2024 serves as a reflection of the UN Country Team’s firm commitment to Uganda’s development trajectory, documenting the progress made in key areas such as education, food security, health, gender equality, human rights, economic inclusion, and climate action. 

For the UN Country Team in Uganda, the past year epitomized the resilience of partnerships and the power of collaboration. Together with the Government of Uganda, development partners, and the private sector, we supported over 9.7 million children with health interventions, reached over 20,000 vulnerable households with cash transfer programmes, and empowered about 127,000 adolescents with 21st-century skills. These results speak to the strength of our joint efforts and the unwavering commitment to leave no one behind. 

But multilateralism is facing reckoning. Across the globe, the fabric of international cooperation is being tested. We are witnessing unprecedented shifts in funding streams, a recalibration of priorities among donor countries, and mounting skepticism about the efficacy of global institutions. For the UN, this is a call to action. The ongoing reforms under UN80 Initiative and the UN 2.0 initiatives are not just structural—they are strategic. They represent our collective resolve to become more agile, data-driven, and accountable to the people we serve.

For Uganda, the future holds immense promise. The fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV) outlines a bold ten-fold growth strategy anchored in inclusive economic development, transformative education, and climate resilience to be delivered through the Parish Development Model (PDM). As we transition to the next Cooperation Framework, we are aligning our interventions to amplify Uganda’s ambitions, focusing on expanding productive assets, supporting transformative education, social protection, food systems and climate resilience empowering youth, women and girls, and promoting sustainable livelihoods.
