Uganda's recovery : The role of farms, firms and government

Uganda is rightly regarded as a pioneer of macroeconomic stabilisation and structural adjustment in Sub-Saharan Africa. Uganda's Recovery : The role of farms, firms and government consists of a series of studies analyzing the responses of private sector agents - households and firms - and of the government itself to the reforms implemented since the late 1980s in a society recovering from a traumatic civil conflict. Drawing on a wealth of quantitative data from a series of household surveys and from surveys of firms, the book presents an analysis of the evolution of incomes, poverty, and investment during the 1990s. Unique in providing comprehensive analysis of policy reform in a Sub-Saharan African country, the book is designed to share the lessons of reform with a wide audience and stimulate informed debate among development practitioners.
