Uganda: World Bank may cut aid

A World Bank-commissioned study has recommended aid cuts to Uganda over the next three years, warning that recent political developments have jeopardised the country’s development agenda. The study found that, “Museveni’s bid for a third term has split the Movement…raised the prospect for political violence…and significantly increased the impetus for corruption as the campaigns to change the constitution and reelect the President will require large sums of money.”
