This Policy Brief explains the persisting impediments that have constrained the transformation of the agriculture sector in Uganda. The brief offers conclusions and policy actions government should undetake to change the asgricultural sector for the better. |
The Business Climate Index (BCI) improved by 5.07 percentage point to 93.05 during the January – March 2017 quarter from 87.97 in the October – December 2016 quarter. Despite this improvement, the conditions for doing business remain below potential. This is the seventh consecutive quarter that the BCI has indicated unfavourable business performance and is largely explained by poor performance of the agriculture sector. |
Despite the existence of several policies and laws aimed at empowering women to participate as equal partners in development, a number of challenges remain in Uganda. This policy brief explores links between educational attainment, age of marriage and childbirth, and labour market among young Ugandans (15-24 years of age). |
