Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.
