Museveni als „ewiger Präsident“ in Uganda: Aufhebung des Alterslimits als letzte Hürde?

Nach monatelangen Debatten stimmte das ugandische Parlament am 20. De-zember 2017 für das sogenannte “Age Limit Bill”, welches eine Verfassungsän-derung vorsieht und die Altersgrenze von 75 Jahren für den Präsidenten auf-hebt. Damit kann Präsident Yoweri Mu-seveni, seit 32 Jahren im Amt, auch bei der nächsten Wahl im Jahr 2021 antre-ten. Er wäre dann 76 Jahre alt. Noch hat Museveni nicht öffentlich erklärt, ob er dann nochmal antreten will. In Uganda ist nach der Verfassungsänderung nun aber die Angst groß, dass der Präsident sich damit de facto sein Amt auf Lebens-zeit gesichert hat.

Reality Check 9

This 9th Edition of the Reality Check focuses on the key issues of Employment, Entrepreneurship and Education in Uganda. The quest for decent employment presents a major development concern today. It would be unimaginable for a country to achieve inclusive growth and sustained peace without providing decent work opportunities for all. A key value in this report is that it attempts to reframe the employment discourse to focus on the prevailing issues of underemployment by covering questions of precarious work, poor pay and job opportunities that fall below the qualifications of workers.

An Outlook of Uganda's Climate Finance Landscape

Climate change is a global problem whose challenges will be met at local, regional and international levels. Ambitious climate action is therefore required to meet the goals and targets of the Paris Agreement. Uganda’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) require substantial financing from a variety of sources (public, private, and external). This implies an expanded role for both government and private sector to consider investments in green growth and renewable energy.
