A planned, orderly and sustainably developed Uganda

Mission

Who We Are

The National Physical Planning Board is the highest body in the country that supervises all Physical Planning Activities in the country.

All government and private projects are approved and cleared by the Board to avoid bad planning which may not be in line with the National Physical development plan of the country. These plans are first submitted through the local government of the specific jurisdiction before being forwarded to the Board for further analysis and scrutiny.
