Abstract: The study assessed the influence of the Advisory role of PPDA Authority on corruption in Kabale municipal council. The main objective was to establish the influence of the Advisory role of PPDA Authority on corruption in Kabale municipal council. A descriptive correlational research design was used to get information from a cross-section of respondents using census and simple random sampling techniques; a sample size of 147 respondents was selected from a target population of 233 subjects. Data was analyzed using SPSS and the results were as follows. The average of results of the claims set in the questionnaires obtained indicate that PPDA’s advisory role was found to be significant on corruption in Kabale municipal council. Basing on correlation co-efficient between PPDA roles and corruption, the study thus concluded that PPDA roles significantly combat corruption especially through its advisory roles. In recommendation, PPDA Authority should routinely apply and enhance its advisory and compliance monitoring roles while carrying out pilot schemes to actually predict their impact. PPDA Authority should develop interim, spot checks and progress audits to promote transparency, accountability and value for money. PPDA Authority should develop and advocate for programs to monitor the welfare of procurement officers including sponsorship for professional courses irrespective of whether they are central or local government employees. PPDA should advocate for inclusion of area political representatives for certification of completed works, supplies and services to improve the quality in contracted projects
