Field notes
The homepage presents the FY 2026/27 budget through both headline figures and place-based questions. Its regional article names Kaabong, Kween, Kyenjojo, Kisoro and Kampala Central, while other listed pieces examine oil revenues, fiscal incidence and infrastructure promises. A coming-up section lays out further topics in a 22-part series and says new articles will appear weekly; that cadence is presented as a plan, not independently verified here.
