3.5 Reviewing World Bank projects in Uganda
This review paper reports on the 17 World Bank projects implemented in Uganda in 2013 with a combined net commitment of USD 1,505 million.
The sector distribution of the projects emphasises infrastructure development – particularly in energy (21% of total), urban development (12% of total) and transport (18% of total). Other sectors include:
- Water (9%)
- Agriculture and rural development (9%)
- Education (12%)
- Finance and the private sector (2%)
- Health, nutrition and population (9%)
- Public sector governance (1%)
- Social protection (7%).
The review paper examines the progress in implementing the projects, discusses the challenges to timely and effective project implementation and seeks agreement on measures to accelerate this. It notes there have been performance improvements over the last two years, although this is still below that of the last five years, and some serious issues remain in project implementations.
