Nov. 14, 2025
The Inspectorate of Government (IG) has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to the World Bank partnership aimed at combating corruption, improving service delivery and enhancing the livelihoods of disadvantaged communities in Uganda.
Speaking during a meeting with a World
Bank team at the IG Head Office on Thursday, Deputy Inspector General of
Government, Dr. Patricia Achan Okiria,
said the IG remains dedicated to ensuring that the Strengthening
Transparency, Accountability and Anti-Corruption (STAAC)
sub-component continues to stand as a model of development integrity and
citizen empowerment.
Her remarks follow the World Bank’s
renewed confidence in the IG as it prepares to implement the STAAC component
under the Fourth Northern Uganda Social Action Fund (NUSAF IV).
“The Inspectorate is fully prepared to commence the implementation of the
STAAC sub-component under NUSAF IV,” Dr. Okiria
affirmed.
She thanked the World Bank for its consistent support and trust in the IG’s
mandate and technical capacity, pledging that the benefits of NUSAF IV will
reach intended communities transparently and effectively.
World Bank Practice Manager for Social
Protection and Jobs, East and Southern Africa, Dr. Suleiman Namara, gave an overview of the evolution of
NUSAF and the long-standing collaboration between the IG, the Office of the
Prime Minister and the World Bank. He noted that the IG was incorporated into
NUSAF II and III following widespread corruption experienced during NUSAF I.
Dr. Namara expressed optimism about
NUSAF IV’s success with the IG’s involvement, saying: “What we need to do is to make the project corruption-free. It helps to
achieve the intended purpose of the project.”
He reiterated the World Bank’s
commitment to the initiative, including the provision of the necessary
resources to support its implementation.
The meeting was also attended by Ms. Christabel Sefa, Senior Social Protection Specialist
at the World Bank and Team Leader for NUSAF IV and Mr. Joe Nuwamanya, a World Bank Consultant supporting the
implementation of NUSAF IV, alongside IG Directors, Managers and Supervisors.
