The multiple challenges facing the health sector in Uganda, as in many other developing countries, need a well defined course of action to address them at the different levels of the National Health System. The plans that evolve to address these health problems should have clearly set objectives that aim at making the best use of the available resources. In the process, due consideration should be given to the available options and ensure that the most appropriate strategies are selected to respond to the identified needs. Proper planning has always been important for the health sector. It becomes even more so with the Fiscal Decentralisation Strategy and a Decentralized Health System which have created multiple points for decision making in mobilization, allocation and utilization of resources for a common goal. These guidelines address themselves to the planning needs of the various levels of the District Health System within the context of the overall Local Government Planning guidelines including the Required Departmental Formats for the Budget Framework Papers (BFPs).
