IGC Uganda delivers research, policy analysis and options in response to requests from the Government of Uganda. We work towards policy objectives that drive structural transformation by boosting urban, firm and agricultural productivity; improving revenue mobilisation efficiency; optimising public spending; and addressing climate change.

About

Uganda’s priorities for growth during its economic recovery include raising domestic savings, improving the effectiveness of government programs, and increasing productivity in industry and services. Since 2012, IGC Uganda has collaborated with the government on projects aimed at boosting foreign direct investment, integrating regional economies, and raising incomes for inclusive growth. Going forward, IGC Uganda will continue to focus on trade, infrastructure, and cities and expand work on effectiveness of state programs and climate sustainability. 

IGC Uganda is generously hosted at the Bank of Uganda, and works in close partnership with a number of clients across government. Key institutional collaborations include delivering an annual Economic Growth Forum event in partnership with the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, to disseminate recent research insights to policymakers and inform Budget priorities; a long-standing partnership with the Uganda Revenue Authority to produce empirical research on taxation in Uganda; and working with the Kampala Capital City Authority to generate evidence on property taxes and informal transport reform.

As the priorities of the Ugandan government evolve, the IGC will expand to cover new research areas. The team looks forward to a vigorously growing programme, and the emergence of even stronger partnerships.
