Why it was recommended

Finding. DRMS2 lists 'EFRIS and URA automation' as a admin strategy, with UGX 471.2 bn in FY2029/30 (Table 10).

Problem. Domestic revenue is below the NDP IV path; DRMS2's gap is stated as 4.4% of GDP (Table 2).

Strength of the evidence behind it: medium.

Note. DRMS2 is MoFPED's published strategy; no Cabinet approval of the strategy itself was found in the document (Foreword, pdf p.ii). Each strategy is therefore tracked on its own evidence.

Who has the power to act

Uganda Revenue Authority. Legal power checked: URA Act Cap. 196 s.3(1)(a) (assess, collect and account for revenue) and s.3(1)(b) (advise the Minister); opened, URA-ACT-S3.
