(1) Estimates based on UGX/USD daily spot exchange rates, averaged within each calendar year. Average annual exchange rates are applied to annual expenditures, resulted in an annual weighted-average exchange rate. Because annual budgets and expenditures vary, weighted average exchange rates applied to budgeted amounts and expenditures are different. The exchange rate for FY 2009/10 is an estimate, as daily historical exchange rates are not available for all dates during that financial year.

(2) There are no identifiable budget allocations for CRVS services in the FY 2009/10 Annual Budget Performance Report. (3) Expenditures exclude all contributions from international donors, interest payments, arrears, taxes, and non-tax revenue retained and spent by budgeted "votes." only 356.1 billion UGX over this period, or 47.7% of expenditures on national ID systems. The 745.4 billion UGX of expenditures on national ID systems captured in Table 1 are underinclusive, and thus represent a lower bound for the Government of Uganda’s actual expenditures on national ID systems, since some expenditures documented elsewhere are missing from—or buried in other line items within—the MOFPED National Budget Performance Reports. According to the NSIS Procurement Report of 2012, the MIA “bypassed” the Public Procurement and Disposal Authority when it negotiated the March 2010 contract with Mühlbauer for 181 billion UGX (€ 64 EUR million), and made an initial payment of €23 EUR million to Mühlbauer shortly after the contract was signed in spring 2010.5 However, only 27.6 billion UGX (approximately €11 EUR million based on March 2010 exchange rates) of expenditures on the national ID project are identifiable in the FY 2009/10 National Budget Performance Report.6 Even this (incomplete) 27.6 billion UGX expenditure is difficult to locate within the FY 2009/10 report; the report never mentions the Mühlbauer contract, much less the up-front payment of € 23 EUR million made to Mühlbauer. Additionally, the NSIS Procurement Report of 2012 notes that, as of December 31, 2011, the Government of Uganda had paid Mühlbauer more 150 billion UGX under the procurement contract.7 By contrast, the total expenditures on national ID systems through June 30, 2012 that are captured in the MOFPED National Budget Performance Report line items listed in Table 1 are 130.8 billion UGX. While it is possible that MOFPED amortized certain payments to Mühlbauer over several financial years, there are no notes in the National Budget Performance Reports suggesting this is the case. In fact, the National Budget Performance Reports never How a National Security Approach to Uganda’s National Digital ID Has Led to Wholesale Exclusion of Women and Older Persons 97
