Articles liés à Uganda's Economic Reforms: Insider Accounts
Synopsis
Following the fifteen years rule of Idi Amin, 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.

Revue de presse
Written by men and women 'insiders' in senior and crucial positions in the system, the narratives are as vivid and personal as the statistics are accurate and startling. (Yusuf Serunkuma, The Independent Uganda)
This book is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the processes that have lifted our economy out of the abyss to a place of hope. (Paul Busharizi, The New Vision)
A remarkable book... The strength of the book is its descriptive breadth covering 15 years and a wide range of reforms, and drawing on a large number of contributors...an essential read for staff in international financial institutions and donor agencies who are interested in supporting reform. It would be an illuminating read for any student seeking to understand the political, institutional and technical ingredients of successful policy-making. And...the book would be an encouraging and informative read for reformers in other countries that are only now just emerging from fragility. (Marcus Manuel, Development Policy Review)
Students of economic reforms in Uganda, and indeed elsewhere on the continent, should keep this insightful book close at hand. (Joost Beuving, Journal of Modern African Studies)
