| Summary: | This Country Framework Report for
Uganda, is part of a series focused on achieving poverty
eradication, rural development, and economic growth through
sustained infrastructure programs. Introducing private
investment to the infrastructure sectors, lies at the heart
of the Government's strategy to achieve combined sector
restructuring, and liberalization. To this end,
infrastructure development must be responsive to economic,
and social needs, based on clear planning, and policy
coordination. The report prioritizes on exploiting all
beneficial options for private sector involvement, paying
close attention to the development of effective incentive
frameworks. Moreover, subsidy and donor funding mechanisms
should be introduced to support poverty alleviation in the
context of reform, while measures should be taken to ensure
capacity is available to execute the reform program
effectively, and provide for its coordination to maximize
economic development. There should be a strong bias toward
sector liberalization, except where this would result in
significant loss of economies of scale, or scope, and, the
establishment of an overall regulatory environment,
attractive to private sector participation should be a
critical priority, while protecting the interests of consumers. |
