Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile: the Importance of Central Bank
BANK OF UGANDA Opening Remarks by: Prof. Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile Governor, Bank of Uganda, At the Hosting of the Parliament of Ghana Finance Committee Members at a Benchmarking Exercise to Bank of Uganda, Board Room, Level 7, Plot 37/45 Kampala Road, Uganda Thursday, September 27, 2018 Honourable Members of Parliament, Parliament of Uganda; Honourable Members of Parliament, Parliament of Ghana; Technical Staff from both Parliaments; Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning, I would like to welcome you all to the Bank of Uganda. It is a privilege to host our brothers and sisters from Ghana, a country which holds a special status in Africa on account of the pioneering role it has played in many different fields - political, economic and social – and in particular for its pan Africanist approach to foreign policy which has been an inspiration throughout the continent. Ghana’s pioneering role is also of relevance in the field of central banking. The Bank of Ghana was one of the first central banks in sub- Saharan Africa to introduce an inflation targeting monetary policy framework in the mid 2000s, at a time when virtually all other central banks in the region were either implementing monetary targets or targeting the exchange rate. Ghana’s experience with inflation targeting was of great value to the Bank of Uganda and influenced its decision to adopt a similar monetary policy framework in 2011; a framework which has proved very successful in controlling inflation. 1 Given that our guests are all legislators, I would like to say a few words about the relationship between Parliament and the central bank, as this relationship is complex and not always well understood. -
The Role of Parliamentary Library and Research Resources in Supporting Parliamentarians to Be Well-Informed: the Case of Uganda
Submitted on: July 12, 2013 The Role of Parliamentary Library and Research Resources in Supporting Parliamentarians to be Well-informed: The Case of Uganda Innocent Rugambwa Director, Department of Library Parliament of Uganda Kampala, Uganda E-mail: [email protected] & Francis Kintu Assistant Director, Department of Research Services Parliament of Uganda Kampala, Uganda E-mail: [email protected] Copyright © 2013 by Innocent Rugambwa and Francis Kintu. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Abstract: In many a developing world context like Uganda’s, evidence - literacy among legislators had been poor for many years. This had left both legislative debates and decision-making processes in Parliament to be driven more by personal opinion and political sentiments, rather than objective facts and empirical evidence. The introduction, however, of a pioneering and innovate Legislative Research and Library Services, one of the very first of such services on the African continent, has revolutionized legislative debates and decision- making. This paper, taking the case of Uganda, underscores the role of Parliamentary library and research resources in building well-informed legislatures. The evolution of library and research resources in Uganda’s Parliament as well as the innovations and outputs are discussed. Through innovative library and research resources, well informed Parliaments can be created. Keywords: Parliamentary Library, Legislative Research, Evidence-based 1 1.0 Uganda: An Overview Uganda is located in East Africa bordering Kenya in the east; Tanzania and Rwanda in the south; Sudan in the north; and the Democratic Republic of Congo in the west. -
Establishing Your Youth Parliament a Planning Guide
ESTABLISHING YOUR YOUTH PARLIAMENT A PLANNING GUIDE Foreword I am delighted to contribute a foreword to this Youth Parliament Planning Kit. The Millennium Youth Parliament was part of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association’s (CPA) programme of informing the Commonwealth about the Commonwealth and the CPA. This goal is explicitly expressed in the Association’s Strategic Plan under Objective 8: “To increase the outreach of the Association, its Members and its Branches to non-members and to those outside the Commonwealth. In particular, to sponsor outreach programmes to young people, to make them aware of the value of parliamentary democracy and to encourage them in its promotion.” The CPA Youth Parliament was also, of course, a recognition of the importance of young people to the Commonwealth and its future and we hope that this work will be further strengthened by the production of this Youth Parliament Operational Kit. We trust that publicising such projects, as widely as possible, both within and outside the Association, will ensure that Parliamentarians and the wider Commonwealth are informed of their value. The kit is therefore designed to assist Branches or other interested organisations and individuals to organise and run their own youth parliaments. It draws heavily on the CPA’s experience in organising two international youth parliaments in 1997 and 2000 and I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Arthur Donahoe, QC, and the CPA Executive Committee for having the foresight to initiate such programmes at the international level. Two of our younger officials who assisted with the Millennium Youth Parliament have contributed a great deal to the preparation of this kit and I would like to thank them for their work. -
