These new aid modalities emerged because of the perception that the project approach was no longer efficient or effective, due to fragmentation and a lack of coordination, ownership and sustainability. It was felt that pooling funds would be more effective, and that cooperating with existing ministerial institutions would strengthen local capacity and thus make development more sustainable. The education sector in Uganda is one of the sectors in which this approach has been applied. In 1996 the government of Uganda introduced Universal Primary Education (UPE) and abolished school fees. With two development plans, the Government of Uganda sought create the conditions for the expansion of primary education and to improve the quality of education. The investments made by the Ugandan government in the education sector were facilitated by the introduction of the Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) and General Budget Support (GBS). SWAp and GBS resulted in the pooling of funds and created the conditions for a more focused, coordinated and efficient approach. This way, SWAp en GBS have contributed to the feasibility of free primary education and the large investment programmes needed to support the resulting increase in enrolment. This evaluation is one of the first attempts of the Policy and Operations Evaluation Department (IOB) to analyse the impact of a contribution to a sector (or subsector) as a whole. The basic principle is that evaluation of support received by a sector should focus on the sector as a whole, rather than focusing on the contribution of one specific agency. The evaluation analyses the effectiveness of interventions to which the Netherlands contributed. The study is an impact evaluation in the sense that it analyses the effectiveness of interventions in the sector, taking into account various factors that may have influenced the outcome. As such, it deals with the attribution problem and selection effects. 1 Preface The first three chapters introduce the study, describe the methodology and provide a brief overview of how education policy developed. The following chapter describes the development of investments, access and learning achievements. Chapter five analyses the effectiveness and impact of interventions and chapter six analyses the effectiveness of a specific project that focused on the improvement of school and district management. The final chapter focuses on the problem of teacher absenteeism. The study concludes that the GoU and its development partners have achieved remarkable results. The report makes several recommendations for improving the quality of primary education. The report is a joint effort of the Education Planning Department (EPD) of the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) in Uganda and the Policy and Operations Evaluation Department of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The report was written by Antonie de Kemp (IOB) and Joseph Eilor (MoES/EPD). Prof. Erisa O. Ochieng of International Development Consultants (IDC) led the fieldwork and was involved in the analysis. Many other people have contributed to the report. They include: Emina van den Berg (IOB) Edward Walugembe (MoES/EPD) Florence Apolot (MoES/EPD) Carthbert Mulaya (MoES/EPD) Moses Okurut (MoES/EPD) Sylvia Acana (UNEB) Steve Harvey (LCD). In addition, Prof. Jan Willem Gunning and Dr. Chris Elbers of the Vrije Universiteit (VU) in Amsterdam have advised on statistical an econometric matters. These researchers simultaneously contributed to a study on basic education in Zambia. This study has been made possible thanks to the contributions of the MoES Education Planning Department, UNEB, UBOS, ESA and LCD. On September 10, a stakeholder workshop was held in Kampala to validate the findings of the study. The valuable comments of the stakeholders have been included in the report. The authors would like to thank George Kalibbala, education specialist of the Netherlands Embassy in Kampala, for his contribution to the evaluation. 2 Preface Preface An advisory group consisting of Henri Jorritsma, Deputy Director of IOB, Maarten Brouwer, Director of the Effectiveness and Quality Department (DEK), Corien Sips and Chris de Nie of the Cultural Cooperation, Education and Research Department (DCO), Eric Hilberink of the United Nations and International Financial Institutions Department (DVF) and former Head Development in Kampala and Babette Wils of the Education and Policy and Data Center (EPDC) commented and advised on this report.

  • Uganda and Post-Conflict Recovery: 1987 (A)
    Uganda and Post-Conflict Recovery: 1987 (A) Francis Unyofu sat back in his office chair and stared at the dilapidated ceiling. He had not thought life in the government would be quite like this. But fifteen years of political and economic chaos could not be erased in just one year. And there were certainly higher priorities than renovating this government office. At least there was peace now -- well, in most parts of the country -- so Uganda could try to return to some form of normalcy. At independence in October 1962 there was little indication that Uganda was headed for such privations. Independence came without a struggle: the British set a timetable for their withdrawal and stuck to it. In Uganda it was the Ugandans, not the Europeans, who grew the cotton and coffee that brought a higher living standard, financed the education of their children, and led to increased expectations for the future. There was an impressive number of educated and prosperous middle-class professionals, the prestigious national Makere University, and a gleaming new teaching hospital at Mulago. At independence, Uganda looked optimistically at the future. Now, 25 years later, it is just looking to rebuild. It is January 1987, one year after Yoweri Museveni led the National Resistance Army (NRA) to power. The past year was spent bringing an inclusive coalition together and debating the country's economic and political future. These were exciting times in the capital, Kampala. But the time for debate is past. The people are getting edgy: there are long queues for consumer goods, unemployment is so high it is not even counted and many factories are not operating.
