Uganda: Growing Out of Poverty

摘要

The report documents the progress made to date on Uganda's challenging economicreform program, and compliments the Government of Uganda for taking some bold economic decisions. While poverty in Uganda continues to be a serious problem, the report suggests that there is some evidence that, as a result of the policies implemented, Uganda is slowly on its way towards 'growing out of poverty'. The report cautions, however, that there is little ground for complacency. Reinforcing the recommendations of the 1990 World Development Report, it advocates a growth oriented strategy for poverty reduction in Uganda and advises the Government to 'stay the course' and continue implementing the set of policies which will augment the country's human capital and enable its citizens to participate equitably in that growth.
