Volumes concentrate on contemporary developments in African political science, political economy, and International Relations, such as electoral politics, democratization, decentralization, gender and political representation, the political impact of natural resources, the dynamics and consequences of conflict, comparative political thought, and the nature of the continent’s engagement with the East and West. Comparative and mixed methods work is particularly encouraged. Case studies are welcomed but should demonstrate the broader theoretical and empirical implications of the study and its wider relevance to contemporary debates. The focus of the series is on sub- Saharan Africa, although proposals that explain how the region engages with North Africa and other parts of the world are of interest.

  • UGANDA: WINNING HUMAN RESOURCES for HEALTH Case Study (Full) | Jillian Larsen | December 2015
    UGANDA: WINNING HUMAN RESOURCES FOR HEALTH Case study (Full) | Jillian Larsen | December 2015 INTRODUCTION A developing nation faces choices about where to direct its limited resources. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have an important role to play in identifying and advocating budget priorities. While economic development must always have a prominent place in a nation’s planning and investment, CSOs can ensure that social goals and the development of human resources are not pushed aside. In this case study, we see that cooperation among experienced CSOs, evidence-based advocacy, collaborative engagement with new partners, and a willingness to confront opponents directly and publicly have brought significant achievements to the Human Resources for Health (HRH) Campaign in Uganda. Uganda has experienced remarkable economic growth and improved stability since President Museveni came to power in 1986. Between 1992 and 2012 Uganda more than halved its poverty rate from 56 percent to 22 percent, and despite the global economic slowdown in recent years, the country maintains a projected economic output of 6.2 percent GDP growth in 2014/15. 1 Despite the enormous achievements in poverty reduction and expanded access to social services, in particular access to universal primary education, improvements in the delivery of health services and in basic health outcomes have been much slower. Over the period 2011-2012 CSOs planned and implemented the HRH Campaign in response to budget shortfalls, severe staffing shortages for human resources, and the continuing poor health outcome indicators. With the goal of stopping preventable maternal deaths, the primary objective of the campaign was to win an additional budget allocation of UGX 260 billion (approximately US$100 million) to fund the recruitment and increased remuneration of health workers.
