CICS Secretariat Objectives

The CICS Secretariat was set up in May 2003 as the critical link in the tri-partite relationship between the private sector, the government and donors in the implementation of the CICS strategy. It is the focal point for coordinating and monitoring the implementation of the CICS. It does this through keeping track of performance indicators, benchmarks and policy actions and briefs stakeholders for appropriate action. In order to fulfill the vision set out by the CICS Strategy.

The Secretariat objectives are:

• To coordinate, facilitate and monitor the implementation of CICS priority actions
• To initiate and support public private dialogue for private sector growth and Competitiveness
• To communicate progress of key priority actions to key stakeholders that support private sector growth

The CICS Secretariat is jointly supported by the European Union, Austria Development Agency and the Government of Uganda.
