Summary: | This Country Assistance Evaluation (CAE)
on Uganda departs from the customary approach and assesses
the International Development Association's (IDA)
assistance thematically. Attached to the CAE is a report on
the findings of a participatory evaluation, which solicited
stakeholder perceptions of Bank assistance. Participant
focus groups were organized according to government, civil
society, nongovernmental organization, private sector, and
donor affiliations. This report finds that Uganda is among
the top economic performers in Africa. The IDA has been a
catalyst for other donors and has made a significant
contribution to the country's development outcomes.
Sixty-two percent of IDA projects and sixty-three percent of
lending have had satisfactory outcomes, and about
one-quarter of the portfolio has had substantial
institutional development impact. Ugandan portfolio ratings
were about as good as or better than the average ratings for
Africa, but were poorer than for the Bank and IDA overall.
Major challenges for the future are to reduce poverty
disparities, promote rural development and service delivery,
improve governance, and accelerate the development of infrastructure. |
