This year (2010), Uganda will launch a new five year National Development Plan (NDP), 2010/11 to 2014/15.  The theme for the NDP is:  Growth, employment and prosperity for socio-economic transformation.  The NDP implementation demands that all ministries, departments and semi-autonomous entities align their development priorities with the NDP. One of the priorities points to the need to improve the Doing Business Environment, a critical threshold of the Competitiveness Strategy.

The next CICS therefore will provide a road map to guide policy and resource allocation for taking Uganda to a higher level of competitiveness .CICS 2006-2010 will be revised to focus on those issues among others that impede businesses to grow and become competitive.
