The report aims to provide Ugandan policymakers with economic analyses on the role of Greater Kampala in achieving Uganda’s economic goals outlined in Vision 2040, and the actions needed to unlock the city’s economic potential. While Greater Kampala accounts for only about 10% of Uganda’s population, it generates a third of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs 46 percent of its formal workers. The report calls on the city governments that make up the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area to transition from “regulators to enablers” of economic development, through investing in: 1. Transport – coordinated transport and economic infrastructure to improve mobility and increase access to markets. 2. Land and serviced premises – strengthen land use management and access to serviced premises in partnership with large landowners. 3. Skills and business services – partner with the private sector to provide support services to local firms. And none of this can be achieved without strong coordination among Government stakeholders in the GKMA and with the private sector. 2017-10-05T19:06:39Z 2017-10-05T19:06:39Z 2017-09 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/860311505816462189/Uganda-From-regulators-to-enablers-role-of-city-governments-in-economic-development-of-greater-Kampala http://hdl.handle.net/10986/28459 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: City Development Strategy Economic & Sector Work Africa Uganda
