    Les Études du CERI N 4 - septembre 1995 Ouganda : un pays en mutation au cœur d’une zone de fractures Richard Banégas Centre d’études et de recherches internationales Fondation nationale des sciences politiques Ouganda : un pays en mutation au cœur d’une zone de fractures Richard Banégas Entre les images de mort des années Amin et Obote, de la guerre civile et du sida et le souvenir nostalgique de la “ perle de l’Afrique ” (Churchill), l’Ouganda reste prisonnier de clichés hérités d’un passé chaotique qui ne reflètent pourtant plus guère la réalité. L’Ou- ganda actuel est en effet un pays en complète mutation, en pleine reconstruction économique et politique, qui devient un pôle essentiel de stabilité régionale au coeur d’une zone de fractures minée par la violence, marquée par des conflits “ tectoniques ” et la déliquescence des structures économiques ou étatiques. Après des années de guerre civile, au gré d’un processus de pacification et de démocratisation assez lent, un nouvel ordre politique est en train d’émerger. Au plan économique, en contraste avec ses voisins immédiats, l’Ou- ganda offre l’image d’un pays en croissance qui offre aux investisseurs des opportunités d’autant plus intéressantes que se réactive un processus d’intégration régionale (au sein de la Communauté est-africaine) qui, à l’horizon 2000, devrait constituer un des plus vastes marchés d’Afrique avec près de 100 millions d’habitants. A travers cette étude, nous voudrions d’abord évaluer l’ampleur de ces mutations opé- rées par l’Ouganda depuis quelques années et les enjeux économiques, politiques et di- plomatiques qu’elles comportent pour l’ensemble de la zone.

  • Lad Case Study
    LAD CASE STUDY Using Private Equity to Improve f Power Distribution in Uganda Chris Walker LAD ABOUT LAD The Leadership Academy for Development (LAD) trains government officials and business leaders from developing countries to help the private sector be a constructive force for economic growth and development. It teaches carefully selected participants how to be effective reform leaders, promoting sound public policies in complex and contentious settings. LAD is a project of the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law, part of Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, and is conducted in partnership with the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. LAD gratefully acknowledges support from the Omidyar Network. Using Private Equity to Improve Power Distribution in Uganda Introduction It is summer 2004. Fred Kalisa, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Energy sits in his Kampala home on the eve of one of the biggest moments in his political career. Kalisa had dedicated the past ten years of his life to building Uganda’s energy sector and two summers ago he had spearheaded the government’s wide-reaching Energy Reform drive. That effort split the vertically-integrated Ugandan Electricity Board (UEB) into three distinct state-owned companies to manage generation, transmission and distribution, respectively. The next few weeks would likely determine how much that hard work paid off, in what was to potentially be Africa’s first electricity distribution concession granting and privatization. Kalisa knows the stakes are high. After several private companies had pulled out of the negotiations to join the concession, he is left with only one potential partner, a newly formed parastatal organization from London and Johannesburg along with potential support from the World Bank.
