Abstract

Examines the extent to which Uganda's structural changes implemented since 1986 are helping reduce corruption, thus alleviating poverty & generating economic growth. Analysis focuses on key elements in Uganda's turbulent history since independence: the political, economic, & social inheritance of the National Resistance Movement (NRM); the NRM's proposed reform program; & initiatives actually implemented in support of democratization. Whether resultant changes are reducing corruption, merely shifting its impact, or actually creating new opportunities for corruption to flourish is considered. 2 Tables, 3 Figures, 65 References. Adapted from the source document.
