Economic Policies in Uganda and the Principles of Social Market Economy

Reality Check 3

This 3rd edition of the Reality Check deals with Uganda's economic policy. The Ugandan economist Dr. Evarist Twimukye contrasts his country's economic policy with the principles of the social market economy. In his view, Uganda has implemented impressive market-economy reforms that have led to high economic growth, but this growth has not yet led to an improvement in living conditions for large sections of the population, says Twimukye. A stronger orientation of politics towards the principles of the social market economy could help to overcome this discrepancy.

Political Party Financing in Uganda

Reality Check 2

This 2nd edition of the Reality Check assesses Uganda's emerging system of public funding of political parties. This follows the adoption of the Political Parties and Organisations (Amendment) Act, 2010, and aims to identify the main components of the financing systems of multi-party democracies and draw lessons for Uganda. Taking the USA, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), the UK, Sweden and South Africa as examples, the paper presents a six-point model of the essential components of public financing of political parties in a democracy. These components form the basis for a comparison with the nascent system in Uganda.

„Walk to Work“

IN WELCHE RICHTUNG BEWEGEN SICH REGIERUNG UND OPPOSITION IN UGANDA?

Am 12. Mai wurde Yoweri Museveni für eine weitere Amtszeit von fünf Jahren als ugandischer Staatspräsident vereidigt. Die Zeremonie wurde jedoch von massiven Protesten und gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen überschattet. Die Vereidigung fiel mit der von tausenden von Demonstranten umjubelten Rückkehr des Oppositionsführers Kizza Besigye nach Uganda zusammen. Vorangegangen waren einige turbulente Wochen, die von regelmäßigen Protesten gegen hohe Benzin- und Lebensmittelpreise und vom gewaltsamen Vorgehen der Sicherheitskräfte gegen Demonstranten und Oppositionspolitiker geprägt waren.

Museveni’s Uganda: Eternal Subscription for Power?

Parliamentary and presidential elections took place in Uganda in February – the second elections under the relatively new democratic system. Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power since 1986, was re-elected president with a two-thirds majority, so his term of office can now extend to 30 years. By and large the elections went off in a peaceful fashion. The initial reaction of the opposition parties was to blame the ruling party’s manipulation of the voting for their poor showing.
