Do you have a burning issue in your locality? can mitigate strikes, riots Send to [email protected] the day PICTURE BY DAN OPOLOT EDITOR: It is absurd that the frequent staff /students strikes at Makerere University relate to issues of hu- man concern, which can be addressed only with keen interest. Whereas recognising the dignity of humans is the fundamental of peace and justice in this institution, disregard and contempt of human rights has had a negative impact on management of the university. The Government’s pledges to achieve the promotion of universal respect for and observation of human rights and monitoring of higher learning seems to be in dilemma. The conditions under which rights and principles have to be realised could include. The right to healthy living and working conditions, the right to education on basis of merit and right to infor- mation and social security. It is also crucial that a monitoring team be put in place to guide management of the university. The team shall give feedback on reports to manage- ment. It shall submit reports on application of these provi- sions which shall be in line with the rules and regula- tions governing the institution. The team shall keep checks through visiting halls of This letter, the residences, lecture rooms and offices.

    BOLSTERING REVENUE, BUILDING FAIRNESS: UGANDA EXTENDS ITS TAX REACH, 2014 – 2018 SYNOPSIS After a decade of reforms to boost tax collection, in 2014 the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) faced up to one of its biggest remaining challenges. Although the agency had significantly improved its internal capacity—along with its ability to collect taxes from registered taxpayers—large numbers of Ugandans paid nothing because they were unregistered or because inadequate compliance monitoring enabled them to underpay. The holes in the system undermined public trust and bedeviled the URA’s efforts to meet the government-mandated target to raise tax revenue to 16% of gross domestic product. The URA then joined other government agencies to bring millions of unregistered citizens into the tax net, and it tightened the oversight of existing taxpayers who were paying less than their fair share. Prime targets were millions of Ugandans who worked in the informal economy, which the government said accounted for nearly half of the country’s economic activity. At the same time, the URA set up operations to go after wealthy and politically connected individuals who avoided paying their full tax load, and it created a separate unit to press government departments that failed to remit to the URA the taxes they collected, such as withholdings from employees. The URA’s program achieved strong gains on all three fronts and thereby helped increase the country’s tax-to-GDP ratio to 14.2% in the 2017–18 fiscal year from 11.3% in 2013–14. Just as important, the program made significant progress toward a fairer distribution of the tax burden for Ugandans across all economic levels.

His work embodies keen insights, and is a welcome addition to the African development discourse; I highly recommend it to all those interested in meeting the African develop- ment challenges head-on.” —Augustin K.

Yet, it is also hopeful and well worth reading, both for African and non-African students, scholar and practitioners of development.” —Pierre Englebert, Professor of Political Science at Pomona College, USA “A perspective from an Asian with profound experience in Africa and who is keenly aware of Korea’s achievements is a welcome addition for tackling Africa’s development challenges and opportunities.
