Gomba District Local Government held an official entry meeting on 12th November 2026 at the District Headquarters in Kanoni, ahead of a three-day service delivery assessment by the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM).

The assessment aims to evaluate the district’s performance across various sectors, focusing on the overall assessment of the Higher Local Government (HLG), verification of Lower Local Government (LLG) results, and targeted verification of education and health sector outcomes, alongside field inspections across the district.

In his remarks, the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer (DCAO), Sentongo Badru, urged all Heads of Department and technical staff to cooperate fully with the assessment team by providing the required records and information promptly. He emphasised that the exercise should be treated as a priority, noting that assessment results have a direct bearing on future government funding and financial allocations to the district.

The Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Katende Ronald, welcomed the assessment team and cautioned staff against complacency and poor performance, warning that underperformance could damage the district’s reputation and result in reduced government funding. He nevertheless commended staff for their continued commitment and dedication. He also reminded them of Uganda’s 10-fold development strategy, encouraging teamwork, accountability and proactive service delivery.

The OPM Assessment Team Leader, Nyampise Steven, appreciated the district leadership for the reception and formally presented the three-day assessment programme, outlining planned document reviews, departmental engagements and field verification activities.

Over the next three days, the assessment team will engage departmental heads, examine performance records and conduct on-site inspections to establish the quality, effectiveness and consistency of service delivery across the district.

The exercise provides Gomba District with an opportunity to demonstrate its achievements, identify service delivery gaps and strengthen accountability. District officials have been urged to ensure full cooperation and readiness throughout the assessment.
