Uganda faced numerous challenges in 2008. The unrest in Kenya and the rise in fuel prices increased transport costs on the Mombasa port route and for rural produce sold in the cities. Manufacturers relying on diesel power generators further increased the oil import bill. The construction of the Karuma Hydroelectric Dam and the planned Bujagali Dam should reduce electricity shortages and the pressure on oil use.Rising world food prices were on balance positive since the country is a net food exporter and much of the population does not depend on purchased food. The deepening world recession has, however, cut demand for Ugandan exports, reduced remittances and led to capital outflows. So far Uganda has withstood these shocks well but the full impact is likely still to come.
In 2008, growth was mainly driven by private consumption given its large share of GDP. Investment growth also remained strong, with private and public
investment rising by an estimated 17 per cent and 15 per cent respectively. Private investment growth was led by construction. Consumption growth is expected
to slow in the next two years, with private consumption falling from an estimated 8.1 per cent in 2008 to 5.7 per cent in 2009 before recovering to 7.3 per
cent in 2010.

Politic in Uganda
In 2006, in the first multi-party elections since President Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) came to power, the president was returned to office and the NRM won a majority in parliament. Since then, political activity has been minimal. There have been a few by-elections to fill vacant parliament seats, some of which have proved contentious with accusations of fraud between the ruling NRM and the opposition. Infighting has continued in almost all of the major opposition parties. The government has moved to promote good governance by allowing civil society organisations to participate more in planning and the budget process. Decentralisation is progressing but the issue of funding for local governments remains problematic. The Anti-Corruption Court was created in 2008 and an Audit Unit for government spending is being established in the Auditor General’s office. Nevertheless, corruption is still perceived as widespread and the government has come under pressure to take action. At the end of 2008, the war with the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) broke out again when the armies of Uganda, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) attacked the rebels in the DRC’s Garamba National Park. The LRA leader Joseph Kony has refused to sign the Comprehensive Peace Plan that had been under discussion for two years, insisting that his indictment by the International Criminal Court (ICC) first be dropped. The fleeing rebels have caused severe instability in the DRC and in the areas bordering Sudan. 2011-Uganda's Yoweri Museveni has been declared the winner of presidential elections, extending his 25 years in power. |
