  • 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.

  • Mobile Money Use in Uganda: a Preliminary Study
    Mobile Money Use in Uganda: A Preliminary Study Ali NDIWALANA1/3, Olga MORAWCZYNSKI2, Oliver POPOV1/4 1Mid Sweden University, Sundsvall, Sweden 2Applab, Grameen Foundation, Kampala, Uganda 3Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda 4Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden Abstract: As mobile phones proliferate in the developing world and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) look for ways to diversify from voice and SMS, mobile money has emerged as an opportunity. While currently used mainly for money transfers, mobile money advocates are enthusiastic about its capability to transform the financial fabric of society, particularly for the poor. We report on a study of mobile money users in Uganda across 3 MNOs. Besides understanding current usage of mobile money, we explore different daily financial transactions of respondents. We investigate the relative importance of these transactions, their frequency, and methods of payment used. Satisfaction with current payment methods and strength of intention to use mobile money if offered for these transactions are captured. The goal is to identify potential new ways to use mobile money in Uganda. 1. Introduction As mobile phones proliferate around the developing world, new services are emerging as mobile network operators (MNOs) diversify services to compliment voice and SMS in a progressively competitive environment where the goal is improving customer retention and reducing churn (Mendes, Alampay et al. 2007). A prominent emerging service is mobile money—a term used to loosely refer to money stored using the SIM (subscriber identity module) as an identifier as opposed to an account number in the conventional banking sense. A notational equivalent in value is then kept on the SIM within the mobile phone, which is also used to transmit payment instructions.
