Abstract

To design effective strategies to combat poverty, policy makers need to know precisely who have and have not benefited from the impressive macroeconomic performance Uganda enjoyed between 1992 and 2000. And this is what the paper endeavours to provide insights into, with a bias in favour of, and thereby focus on the role of, markets.
