Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper analyses China’s development engagement with Uganda focusing on China’s Infrastructure assistance in transport and energy sectors presenting six cases of China’s development assistance to Uganda in the above sectors. The paper further highlights common features of China’s development assistance, its contribution towards Uganda’s economic growth and why authorities in Uganda prefer China’s assistance. The author concludes that, by and large, China is playing a pivotal role towards improving Uganda’s infrastructure sector – the engine of social - economic growth. However, the author points at three key issues Ugandan policy makers must address if China’s development assistance is to leave sustainable positive impact. Firstly, Uganda must devise other ways of funding her infrastructure than entirely relying on China’s concessional loans to avoid high debt challenge, Secondary, there is need to address lack transparency in China’s development assistance to Uganda, and thirdly, both Uganda and China must give attention to environment.
