- Identifying technical, institutional, and operational bottlenecks affecting interoperability;
- Defining critical data elements, coding structures, and standardized identifiers;

Project or context description
This assignment is implemented under the Green Public Investment Management and Climate Resilience Programme financed by the Agence Française de Développement in support of the Government of Uganda.
Expertise France provides technical assistance embedded within the National Planning Authority and works closely with the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development to strengthen Uganda’s Public Investment Management System.
Uganda has made significant progress in digitalizing key public financial management and public investment functions through platforms such as IBP, PBS, IFMS, e-GP, and government monitoring systems. However, these systems currently operate with limited interoperability, restricting the automatic exchange of project, procurement, budgeting, expenditure, and monitoring information.
This assignment will support the development of a structured interoperability roadmap aimed at enabling integrated data exchange, improving project lifecycle tracking, strengthening reporting, and supporting evidence-based decision-making across government institutions.
