The Government of Uganda began rolling out the Aid Management Platform (AMP) to Development Partners and users by making the system available online in November 2013. Development Partners were now able to input directly into the system while Government Ministries both supplemented on the data and used it for planning, monitoring, and reporting purposes.
Training is currently being conducted with all development partners and other sector ministries. The objective is to ensure that development partners and government users have the ability to enter their aid data into the online system. The Aid Liaison Division hopes that PIMIS data users – from development partners and government – are able to access and use the system both for input and reporting purposes.
The Aid Management Platform is a software solution allowing users to manage activities through the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. Through online workspaces, data entry and reporting modules, and interactive dashboards and maps, decision makers can allocate resources where most needed. The Aid Management Platform helps governments and development partners gather, access, and monitor information on development activities, with the goal of increasing aid effectiveness.
Using the AMP software, stakeholders can track activities through the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. With online workspaces, data entry and reporting modules, and interactive dashboards and maps, decision-makers can better understand how aid is directed throughout the country.
To ensure sustainability, the program implementation includes hands-on training for government and development partners, data management plans, ongoing technical support, policy support for program management, and a semi-annual Good Practices Workshop
