Granted, many things are better in mission than actuality, but going strictly by where the envoy says the money is going, I think this is a great example of why Dambisa Moyo’s argument can’t be so cut and dry.
Roads and agriculture are two sectors capable of making a huge difference in the development of Uganda. That some of the funds are being directed to development projects in the north just make this government to government aid seem quite positive.
Problems could arise if there are requirements for Uganda tacked onto the funding, but otherwise, I see no downside to this package.
I’d love to hear some differing opinions, though.
