Uganda's development dilemmas

In the Balance

Available for over a year

In the Balance leaves the studio today to find out whether Uganda is on track to achieve its economic ambitions. With oil wealth expected for this landlocked African nation can it avoid the resource curse that has blighted the economic fortunes of other developing countries? Ros Atkins is joined at Makerere University in Kampala by Herman Kasekende, CEO of Standard Chartered, Uganda's oldest bank; Angelo Izama, investigative journalist and Open Society Fellow; and Vera Oling, macro-economist in the Kampala office of the African Development Bank.
