This paper focuses on Uganda''s Second Review Under the Policy Support Instrument (PSI) and Request for Modification of Assessment Criteria. Economic performance of Uganda has been broadly favorable. Progress has been made on structural reforms, but further steps are needed. Starting the construction of the two hydropower projects without further delay, approving and regulating the Public Financial Management Bill, and strengthening accounting controls are crucial steps in the reform effort. The expected amendments to the Bank of Uganda Act should support the inflation targeting regime. Based

Ausgehend von den sozio-ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen der Gewerkschaftsbewegung Ugandas stellt der Verfasser des Handbuchartikels zunächst die Entstehung und Entwicklung der Gewerkschaften sowie deren Größe und Struktur dar. Im weiteren werden das Verhältnis der Gewerkschaften zu den Arbeitgebern sowie die Beziehung zwischen Gewerkschaftsorganisationen und staatlichen Organen beschrieben. Der Autor hebt die ständige Einflussnahme der Regierungen von Uganda auf die organisatorische Entwicklung der Gewerkschaften und die Tatsache, daß arbeitsrechtliche Schlichtungsorgane nicht durchsetzungsfähig sind, hervor. Ergänzt wird die inhaltliche Darstellung durch Literaturhinweise und die Anschrift des Gewerkschaftsbundes. (KS)
Uganda is regarded as one of the most successful turnaround states in sub-Saharan Africa, with sustained improvement in rates of economic growth and poverty reduction, and in bringing peace to many parts of the country after years of political instability and civil strife. These achievements are offset by low levels of life expectancy, continuing problems of rural poverty, and persistent conflict in the north. This article examines the reasons for Uganda's success from the late 1980s, highlighting the government's willingness to learn lessons from reform experiments in other countries, the significance of political commitment and state capacity, the timing and sequencing of reforms, and a strategy of compensating the potential losers of reform. Foreign aid played a critical role in Uganda's turnaround, through the provision of ideas, technical assistance and financial resources. The article concludes that the considerable achievements to date may not be sustained on account of the failure to achieve a durable cessation of conflict in the north and to address growing governance problems, which have wider implications for political stability, economic reform and poverty reduction.
