Foreword

The Strategic Investment Plan 2011-16 is an opportunity for the Uganda Law Reform Commission to articulateandcommunicateitsplansandambitionsforthenextfiveyears.ThepresentStrategicPlan

builds on the earlier one of 2005-11, during which period many successes were registered even though there were some noticeable challenges� The launch of the 2011-16 Strategic Plan coincides with the appointment of a new Commission earlier in 2011 when the new Chairperson and all six Commissioners were appointed by His Excellency the President of Uganda� A fully constituted Commission is expected to energise the activities and tackle the challenges of the Uganda Law Reform Commission so that it registers more successes in future�

Our plans for 2011-16 are ambitions but achievable� During this period we plan to print a new Revised Edition of the Laws of Uganda as well as simplifying some key laws and translating into local languages a large number of laws� We shall also maintain some vibrant activity in law reform, with the intention of finalizinganumberofreportsandBillsreadyforconsiderationbyCabinetandParliament.Furthermore,we intend to maintain our active participation in the affairs of the East African Community (EAC) and the Association of Law Reform Agencies of Eastern and Southern Africa (ALRAESA), culminating in our hosting of two regional conferences during this period�

Many of our activities require the active support of many individuals, associations/societies, institutions/organizations,governmentdepartmentsandagencies,andregionalandinternationalpartners.Wethankeveryone who has assisted in the past and pledge our continued cooperation�

We hope that the information presented in this strategic plan is clear and informative and would welcome comments on how we can further improve the information or the activities referred to�

2.9 Challenges Faced During the Strategic Period 2005-2011The challenges faced by the Commission cut across the various strategic objectives and thus have been dealt with collectively� The challenges which have consistently recurred year on year, must be taken into consideration in the next strategic period and solutions crafted to address them�

The challenges included cost of public consultations in terms of costs of fuel, vehicle maintenance and costs ofworkshops.The commission consults thepublic throughworkshops, seminars, themedia andfieldtrips.Thecostsofrentforofficesandstorageofprintedmatterisveryhighconsumingalmostaquarterof the Commission’s recurrent budget which impacts negatively on other activities� Due to the nature of the Commission’s work, urgent requests for unplanned assignments are received from Government agencieswhichresultsinadiversionofresourcesfromplannedactivities.TheCommissionfacesfinancialchallengesduetounderfundingintheGovernmentbudgetallocationleadingtoseverefinancialconstraintsincluding outstanding NSSF payments� The delay in tabling and passage of Bills into law hampers the Commissions work� Public education was noted as being costly� Delays in response time from Government agencies are a fetter to the Commission’s attempts to meet timelines for activities; the Commission cannot proceed with particular assignments until the response from the relevant agencies has been received�

Emerging issues invariousfieldsof the lawcall for specialistknowledgewhich isnotreadilyavailablewithin the Commission� The Commission is understaffed and faces problems of staff retention due to inadequate motivation� For a considerable period of time, the Commission did not have any part-time CommissionersgreatlyimpactingontheabilityoftheCommissiontofulfilitsmandate.

• Disciplinary committee of the commission is not fully functional

• Appointment of new Chairperson, Secretary, part-time commissioners and fillingofvacantstaff positions – fully constituted Commission

• Publication of both the revised principal and subsidiary laws made the laws easily accessible, contributed to rule of law and to NTR

•No control over funding

•ULRC relies heavily ondonorfinancing&competes for resources with other entities in JLOS

•Lack of full autonomy

• Commission well placed to shape and guide the Government as well as the

2.11 Key Areas for Consideration• Coordinated consultation of key projects being undertaken could be jointly planned and executedtoimproveefficientresourceuse.

• ULRC need to consult with Government and key stakeholders that should inform its planned strategic focus to avoid unplanned for activities�

• While a legislative tracking system is being developed to enhance the monitoring process, more emphasis is to be placed on advocacy and public education programmes� The public education istobuildsupporttodemandforidentifiedlegislationtobepassed.Awarethatlawsarenotpassed by the public, advocacy should therefore be targeted at the law makers�

• ULRC need to be more proactive in its advocacy and lobbying to generate quick response from government� The basis for any legislation should be packaged in the interest of Government�

• At the design of its plans the commissions needs to identify the human resource gaps and plan for outsourcing to avoid delays in implementation� At the same time the Commission needs to re-orient the new commissioners in their roles to provide strategic oversight to the commission�

• Transforming the resource centre into a modern facility�
