| Summary: | The government of Uganda (GoU) regards
agriculture as a key economic sector to support Uganda’s
vision 2040 and the transition to middle-income status. It
recognizes that public spending on agriculture has a pivotal
role in equipping the sector to fulfil its potential to
drive economic growth, create employment for a rapidly
growing and predominantly young population, and ultimately
reduce poverty. To improve the quality and effectiveness of
public expenditures in agriculture, Uganda has conducted its
second agriculture public expenditure review (AgPER) since
2010. Overall, the performance in implementing policy
recommendations from the 2010 AgPER has been mixed. This
summary presents the key messages emerging from the review
and recommends policy and strategic actions for improving
the efficiency and effectiveness of spending on agriculture
in Uganda. |
