Company Description
The Local Government Finance Commission (LGFC) is a constitutional body established under Article 194 (1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda. Its mandate and functions are defined under Article 194 (4) of the Constitution, which provides for its advisory and regulatory role in matters concerning fiscal decentralization and intergovernmental financial relations.
The Commission operates within the legal framework of the Local Government Finance Commission Act, which outlines its structure, powers, and operational procedures. Through this framework, the LGFC advises the President and Parliament on the distribution of revenues between the central government and local governments, as well as among local governments themselves.
In fulfilling its mandate, the LGFC plays a central role in strengthening Uganda’s decentralization policy by promoting equitable, transparent, and sustainable financing of local governments. Its work ensures that fiscal transfers and revenue allocation mechanisms support effective service delivery and balanced development across districts and other local government units.
