In October 2022, the Cabinet through the Memorandum CT (2022) 130 on the Implementation Status and Progress of the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda approved the proposed measures to

accelerate the attainment of SDG targets within the framework of the NDP III and Government’s Last Mile Strategy- the Parish Development Model as highlighted in the Action Extract from Minute No 359 (CT 2022).

Among the approved actions was the need to present the SDG Progress report to Parliament. This is in line with the new SDG Roadmap which recognises the significant role played by Parliament and Members of Parliament of mobilizing and allocating resources, providing oversight in the implementation of the SDGs, and playing different other roles as champions, advocates, mobilisers, and ambassadors for the SDGs due to their proximity to people in their Constituencies.

Additionally, the new SDG Roadmap FY 2020-2025, recognises the significant role played by Parliament and Members of Parliament of mobilizing and allocating resources, providing oversight in the implementation of the SDGs, and playing different other roles as champions, advocates, mobilisers, and ambassadors for the SDGs due to their proximity to people in their Constituencies. As such, it is important that the Parliament is provided with information on Uganda’s progress of implementation of national and regional frameworks.
