This report is based on the findings of an economic mission which visited Uganda in August 1981. The first chapter of Part I briefly reviews events prior to liberation in April 1979, events which continue to have a major impact on the Ugandan economy. A discussion of developments since liberation, including the new financial program, is provided in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 outlines the priority areas for further action, and the implications of the balance of payments outlook for aid requirements. Part II is a more detailed review of the problems and issues in five major sectors: agriculture, industry, transport, energy, and education. The coverage of this report is by no means comprehensive, due in part to the incomplete and unreliable data base as well as the World Bank's limited contact with the country over the past decade. Nervertheless, the report tries to identify the major issues facing the country at this time, and outline some of the key components of an effective rehabilitation program.
