UGIFT

The Uganda Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfers Program Project for Uganda (UgIFT) aimed at improving the adequacy and equity of fiscal transfers and improve fiscal management of resources by Local Governments for health and education services.Uganda has performed well in terms of economic growth and poverty reduction over the last decades, despite a recent slowdown. Uganda is a low-income country with gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of US$600 (2016). GDP growth has averaged more than 6 percent for the past 20 years. This growth can be attributed to macroeconomic stability, post-conflict rebound and pro-market reforms. This growth benefitted the poorest households, and during the last decade, Uganda managed to reduce the proportion of households living under international extreme poverty line faster than any other country in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). More recently the rate of economic expansion decelerated from an average of 7.6 percent a year during FY06-FY10 to 5.5 percent from FY11-FY15. This is because of external factors, inconsistent fiscal and monetary policies, a slowdown in the efforts by the Government to implement further reforms and low domestic revenue collection, which have created fiscal constraints for the Government.
