Uganda

This paper discusses Uganda’s Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) 2004/05–2007/08. The PEAP provides an overarching framework to guide public action to eradicate poverty. It has been prepared through a consultative process involving central and local government, parliament, donors, and civil society. The PEAP aims at contributing toward transforming Uganda into a middle-income country. The government's strategy in the short term is aimed at strengthening both agriculture and manufacturing. For agriculture, critical interventions include infrastructure, information and support to farmers’ marketing. For manufacturing, the government will strengthen infrastructure, improve governance, and boost the education of the workforce.Economic growth;Fiscal management;Governance;Government expenditures;Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers;expenditure, public expenditure, primary education, expenditures, primary school, community development, mtef, education sector, adult literacy, government expenditure, expenditure priorities, universal primary education, post-primary education, sector expenditure, expenditure ceiling, expenditure ceilings, vocational education, expenditure plans, public expenditures, teacher training, enrolment rates, expenditure implications, enrolment rate, donor support, public expenditure priorities, street children, disadvantaged groups, expenditure framework, primary schools, expenditure management, special needs, public expenditure management, fiscal policy, recurrent expenditures, classroom construction, health expenditure, education services, expenditure demands, gross enrolment, vocational training, entrepreneurial skills, public spending, agricultural education, primary health care, primary school teachers, disabled persons, completion rate, libraries, returns to education, public institutions, primary teacher, primary teacher training, civic education, expenditure proposals, long-term expenditure, learning outcomes, total public expenditure, teacher training colleges, public expenditure review, educational performance, vocational skills, expenditure requirements, expenditure levels, budget expenditures, public financial management, gender disparity, total expenditure, expenditure allocations, primary education sector, recurrent expenditure, expenditure plan, head teachers, return to education, social groups, school teachers, teacher recruitment, school construction, aids epidemic, medium term expenditure framework, demand for education, health education, instructional materials, expenditure quintile, operational expenditures, numeracy, training programs, public expenditure requirements, grade teaching, private secondary schools, rural schools, poverty-reducing expenditures, expenditure needs, gender parity, formal education, children in schools, access for girls, expenditure issues, educational attainment, expenditure tracking, expenditure level, pupil/teacher ratio, pupil-textbook ratio, equal opportunity, expenditure decisions, expenditure areas, teacher absenteeism, primary school classroom, participation rates, life skills, primary classes, traditional skills, access to health services, expenditure control, comprehensive development, aggregate public expenditure, religious beliefs, expenditure items, exercise books, public agencies, primary completion rate, primary school children, primary education curriculum, annual expenditures, expenditure growth, repetition rates, children with disabilities, public spending reform, investment expenditure, primary school-age children, child survival, school-age children, higher expenditure, school leavers, pupil ratio, physical education, education investment, expenditure projections, private schools, primary school age, private partnerships, children start school, achieving gender parity, skills training, medium term expenditure, primary completion, primary education ? completion, school curriculum, registration fees, expenditure tracking studies, cultural values, needs assessment, education standards, headmasters, expenditure management systems, armed conflicts, public expenditure management systems, conventional classrooms, private education, creative thinking, ghost workers, universal completion
