I readily agreed. That was four years ago and I am delighted that I can fi nally derive an element of closure as I think back on all those who have helped me complete this project. Over the years I have benefi ted from discussions with Larry Dia- mond, hrh Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, Barbara Harriss-White, Gopalkrishna Gandhi, David Grusky, Bernt Hagtvet, Desmond McNeill, Halvor Mehlum, Subrata K. Mitra, Karl Ove Moene, Siddiq Osmani, Tho- mas Pogge, James C. Scott, Amartya Sen, Arjun Sengupta, Henrik Syse, Peter Townsend and Olle Törnquist.

Jain, Hans Olav Ibrekk, Sophie Kristoff ersen, Hugh LaFollette, Vedis Vik and Hal Wilhite.

During the past couple of years, I have also had the privilege of sharing my fi ndings – and presenting selected sections of this book – at various courses I have taught at the University of Oslo, University of Aarhus, United Nations University Tokyo, the Norwegian Peace Corps and the Foreign Service course at the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Af- fairs. The interactions with, and feedback from, students attending these courses have been invaluable. I wish to extend special thanks to the fol- lowing group of former students of development studies who took part in a brainstorming meeting a few months ago and who provided me with important feedback: Catharina Bu, Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven, Julie Ness, Jørn Wichne Pedersen and Øyvind Nystad Handberg. And Cicilie Krantz and Kristin Nordby, also students of development studies, have consistently provided me with helpful insights. x 110029800298 PPovertyoverty aandnd eelusivelusive ddevelopementevelopement BBMM 1100101_v2.indd00101_v2.indd x 009.04.109.04.10 114.024.02 acknowledgements This book is based on the main fi ndings of several research projects that have been generously funded by the Research Council of Norway, the University of Oslo, the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Aff airs and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation. I am grate- ful to unicef in Malawi, Uganda and Ethiopia for assistance during fi eldwork and to the Norwegian-Finnish Trust Fund in the World Bank on Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development (tfessd) for opening doors in "the Bank". I have been privileged to have spent the past decade based at the Centre for Development and the Environment (sum) at the University of Oslo and I wish to thank Kristi Anne Stølen, Gitte Egenberg, Manhar Harmansen, Hans-Jørgen Oppi Christiansen and Kristoff er Ring for friendship and support. I wish to acknowledge in particular the excellent research assistance I have received from Maren Aase, Sophie Kristoff ersen, Elise Marie McCourt, Marte Nubdal and Alex- ander Attilio Vadala. I am also grateful to the two referees who positively evaluated the book proposal and to Kevin M. J. Quirk and Gunhild Eide who have provided several useful suggestions for improving the manu- script. Per Robstad at Scandinavian University Press/Universitetsforlaget is probably the best editor one can ask for and I am most grateful to him for encouraging me to write the book, for his amazing ability in persuad- ing me not to give up and for his infi nite patience over the past four years. I hope he and his colleagues feel the wait has been worthwhile! I wish to thank Ava and Devdas Banik and Britt and Nicolay Kieding for helping me and my wife Vibeke with a diverse range of assignments in India and Norway ranging from babysitting to ensuring ideal condi- tions for writing. Vibeke has been my solid pillar of support at all times and has done everything in her power to give me the time I needed to fi nish the book, in addition to providing much valuable advice in the fi nal stages. And during all of this, she also managed to complete a fi rst rate doctoral dissertation. Despite their young age, our two boys, Alex- ander and August, are true world travelers, having accompanied me on many fi eld visits to distant lands. I dedicate this book to them in the hope that they will inherit a world with far less poverty. xi 110029800298 PPovertyoverty aandnd eelusivelusive ddevelopementevelopement BBMM 1100101_v2.indd00101_v2.indd xxii 009.04.109.04.10 114.024.02 110029800298 PPovertyoverty aandnd eelusivelusive ddevelopementevelopement BBMM 1100101_v2.indd00101_v2.indd xxiiii 009.04.109.04.10 114.024.02 1 INTRODUCTION ost people would agree that poverty is a bad thing. Eff orts by a wide range of actors to promote development have in Mrecent times yielded some positive results. Thus we have been witness to improvements in life expectancy and literacy together with a reduction in child mortality and the incidence of infectious disease in certain parts of the world. Nevertheless, poverty and inequality appear as resilient as ever and human development – understood as develop- ment that prioritises human well-being and aims at enlarging opportu- nities, freedoms and choices – continues to proceed slowly, with recent evidence painting a rather gloomy picture. Consider the following: 1.4 billion people in poverty, 1.6 billion live without access

  • Compendium of Diaspora Investment & Business Opportunities Vol 1
    Home The Compendium of Diaspora Investment & Business Opportunities Message from the Minister of Foreign Affairs The theme for Uganda’s Golden Jubilee celebration lays emphasis on socio-economic transformation of the country. Inevitably, realization of this aspiration requires a multi-pronged approach focusing not only on the key sector priorities, but also harnessing opportunities from untapped potential and resources There is no doubt that Ugandan Diaspora will be a central part of this effort. Over the years, there has been an increasing role and importance of the Diaspora to our country’s development. The Government is cognizant of this role, and is making deliberate attempts to maximize the benefits. Starting with the establishing of the Diaspora services Division in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we have now come up with this Compendium of Investment and Business Opportunities. Working closely with Uganda Investment Authority, we believe that this is yet another important step towards consolidating the gains made thus far with the Diaspora resources mobilization for national development. I invite you to take keen interest in this Compendium, which provides details on the investment and tax regime in the country, as well as potential investment and business opportunities. We are ready to provide all necessary support within our means, and look forward to continued contribution by our Diaspora to the country’s development. For God and my Country Sam K. Kuteesa Minister of Foreign Affairs Message from the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Foreign Affairs The Government of the Republic of Uganda has long recognized the positive role played by Ugandans living abroad in the social and economic development of the country.
