Economic Development, UgandaAbstract
Prior to the covid-19 pandemic, Uganda was growing steadily, with a GDP growth of 7.5 per cent in 2019 (World Bank 2020). However, the consistent growth has not changed the economic conditions of the people. There comes a time when African scholars must look past the common remedy which suggests only improving governance will stimulate further economic development; they must address the real issues hampering further economic development. How can Uganda ensure that economic development is increased by the Government to a point where it reflects in the life of the everyday Ugandan? In this essay, I will discuss the necessary steps Uganda must take to increase economic development to promote the economy's and its participants' economic well-being.
