To advance the effectiveness of
Uganda's public investment program (PIP) improvements
can and should be made from the inception of an investment
program all the way through its implementation. It is not a
question of abandoning the current process but one of
adjusting the various stages of the current PIP processes in
place such that in particular quality at entry and readiness
of investment projects improves, contract management gets
strengthened, and above all incentives for implementation
are enhanced. The aim of the adjustments to the PIP
processes in Uganda is to ensure that the PIP can assist the
government to direct resources to those investments that
provide the highest economic and social return. The
government is advised to revisit the current informational
content of the PIP as well as the decision making process of
the PIP at each of the phases of the PIP, i.e., preparation,
evaluation, and implementation. The remainder of the
executive summary will discuss how this can potentially be
accomplished. Uganda's economy has grown rapidly over
the past 20 years propelled by consistent policy reforms.
Annual growth in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has
averaged 7.4 percent over the 10 years ending in 2009/10,
compared with 6.5 percent recorded in the 1990s. This
acceleration was in spite of consecutive exogenous shocks
including: the oil price shock; drought conditions with
adverse effects on energy generation and agricultural
production; and volatile food prices. |
