MFPED also produces a budget performance report comprising of financial and physical performance (outputs) on a semi-annual basis. These reports are compiled using quarterly performance reports submitted by departments to the Ministry of Finance. These quarterly reports outline financial and physical/output performance both by quarter and cumulatively and also show progress against the work plan in the performance contract. Uganda utilises an in-house automated database called Output Budgeting Tool (OBT) to systematically link funds with output. The OBT provides the framework for budget formulation and execution and it incorporates performance contracts and performance reports. Line ministries report to MFPED through the OBT.
