The Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) is Uganda’s national planning framework. It provides an overarching framework to guide public action to eradicate poverty. It is framed around five pillars namely, economic management; production, competitiveness and incomes; security, conflict resolution and disaster management; good governance; and human development.  
The PEAP long-term strategic objectives include; reduced income poverty and inequality, improved human development and increased GDP growth.
The PEAP Strategy for poverty eradication is through modernisation and employment, and focuses on the modernisation of agriculture in particular, through promotion of modern production techniques for smallholder agriculture.

The PEAP has four main goals:

Creating a framework for economic growth and transformation
Ensuring good governance and security
Actions that directly increase the ability of the poor to raise their incomes
Actions that directly enhance the quality of life of the poor
 
The Uganda Debt Network has been involved in the implementation and advocacy to achieve the above PEAP goals. UDN took a lead in the revision of the PEAP into a PRSP, by mobilizing positions for informing the final PRSP as well as the need for civil society to monitor the use of the savings for the benefit of the people as intended by the HIPC initiative.As a key member of the National Monitoring and Evaluation Working Group, UDN has continued to influence the annual PEAP implementation process and is fully participating in the development of the National Development Plan.
