Following the eight year rule of Idi Amin, then several years of
war and civil war, the Ugandan economy was in ruins by the time
peace was restored in 1986. Since then Uganda has consistently been
one of the fastest growing economies in Africa, leading to a
substantial reduction in poverty. Its economic success has
attracted considerable attention and has arguably had more
influence on development thinking and on the international aid
architecture than any other country. The HIPC debt relief
initiative, the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, and the
growth of budget support have all been strongly influenced by
Ugandan experience and thinking. Ugandan innovations such as
poverty reduction strategies, public expenditure tracking surveys,
and virtual poverty funds have been widely adopted elsewhere.
Most of the reforms which transformed the economy originated within
the Uganda government during the 1990s, rather than being imposed
through donor conditionality. In this book, for the first time many
of the architects of those reforms give their personal accounts of
the thinking behind the reforms, how they were implemented, and
their impact. Since measures that work well in one environment may
fail when transplanted to a different environment, the authors
identify factors that were critical to the success of Uganda's
reforms. While a number of individual reforms have been the subject
of academic study, this book represents the first consolidated
account of the economic reforms undertaken by the Uganda government
and their impact on growth and poverty reduction.
