A country’s development is fundamentally influenced by how strategic its policies are in addressing citizens' pressing needs. These policies reflect the actions, or inactions, of governments. National Development Policies focus on crucial socio-economic sectors to bring significant changes. This paper examines Uganda’s National Agriculture Policy of 2013 and Renewable Energy Policy of 2007. We analyze how Uganda’s strategic policy implementation combats corruption and addresses developmental shortcomings. The National Agriculture Policy aims to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security, while the Renewable Energy Policy promotes sustainable energy solutions and reduces dependency on non-renewable sources. By prioritizing these sectors, Uganda seeks to foster socio-economic development, mitigate corruption, and improve overall governance. This study highlights the successes and challenges in implementing these policies, providing insights into the role of strategic policy-making in addressing corruption and development issues in Uganda, ultimately contributing to the country's socio-economic advancement.

This paper explores challenges of modernization theory in Uganda by analyzing its conceptual distinctions and theoretical frameworks. Modernization theories are typically categorized into 'critical variable' and 'dichotomous' approaches, each defining modernization through specific social changes or the acquisition of modern attributes by traditional societies. Drawing on works by theorists like Schwartz and Levy, the critique examines how these frameworks inadequately capture Uganda's complex modernization realities. The study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of modernization's applicability to Uganda's development trajectory. Methodologically, it employs a comprehensive review of scholarly literature and theoretical analysis. The findings underscore the limitations of prevailing modernization theories in explaining Uganda's development and suggest implications for policy and practice. This analysis contributes to ongoing debates on development theories and their relevance in diverse global contexts, advocating for more context-sensitive approaches to understanding and promoting socio-economic progress in Uganda.

This study investigates the relationship between various factors and e-government adoption in Uganda, employing a case study approach. The results of hypothesis analysis reveal mixed findings. Hypotheses concerning the relationship between Culture (BUD) and E-Government (EGOV) (0.168), as well as between Infrastructure (INF) and E-Government (0.151), are both rejected, indicating an absence of significant associations. Similarly, the hypothesis regarding the relationship between Human Resources (HR) and E-Government (0.066) is rejected, suggesting a lack of substantial correlation between the two variables. However, the hypothesis concerning Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and E-Government(0.006) is accepted, indicating a significant relationship between ICT and E-Government adoption, The discussion highlights the nuanced relationship between cultural factors and e-government adoption, suggesting that while cultural norms may influence citizen engagement with digital governance platforms, the impact varies across contexts. Conversely, the robust positive coefficients associated with infrastructure underscore its critical role in facilitating e-government initiatives. This emphasizes the importance of investing in ICT infrastructure to overcome barriers to e-government adoption in Uganda. The interplay between cultural factors and infrastructure underscores the need for a comprehensive approach addressing both aspects to foster effective e-government implementation in the country. R square in this result is 0.874. An R-squared value of 0.874 indicates that 87.4% of the variance in e-government adoption is explained by the model's predictors, suggesting a strong relationship and high explanatory power. This implies that the model effectively captures key factors influencing e-government adoption in Uganda.

This study explores the E-Government Development Index (EGDI) and its role in combating corruption in Africa. The main aim is to analyze how EGDI impacts corruption control strategies across African nations. This research is academically and practically important as it examines the intersection of e-government and corruption mitigation, providing valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders. Using a systematic analysis of Scopus articles, the study reveals that advancements in e-government, measured by EGDI, enhance transparency and efficiency in public administration. The findings indicate that a well-implemented e-government infrastructure, reflected in a higher EGDI, positively influences anti-corruption efforts and governance practices across diverse African contexts. The study concludes that EGDI is crucial in shaping governance frameworks and fostering accountability. This research fills gaps in the literature by illuminating the nuanced relationship between EGDI metrics and corruption mitigation. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders engaged in governance and development initiatives, highlighting the role of e-government in promoting sustainable development across Africa.

This study aims to identify and analyze the major problems affecting the Ugandan public sector through the lens of public choice theory. The research addresses the economic, political, social, and technological challenges that force government institutions to seek new ways to improve public sector performance. Despite various reforms initiated over the past 25 years, corruption, inefficiency, and inadequate service delivery remain pervasive issues. Corruption affects resource allocation and hinders development, while inefficiency is linked to a lack of skilled personnel, outdated infrastructure, and bureaucratic red tape. Shortcomings in service delivery, particularly in health and education, contribute to public dissatisfaction.Methodologically, this study employs a qualitative analysis of existing literature and government reports to assess the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures, capacity-building initiatives, technology adoption, and bureaucratic streamlining. The analysis reveals that while efforts to enhance transparency through digital platforms and establish anti-corruption units have been made, the impact of these reforms has been limited. This limitation is attributed to implementation challenges and resistance to the application of private sector techniques in the public sector.The study concludes that sustained progress in the Ugandan public sector requires ongoing commitment, comprehensive institutional reforms, and active community engagement to ensure effective governance and improved service provision.
