Abstract

Uganda is the first country to benefit from the 1996 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative, which offers a number of low-income countries an opportunity to negotiate a reduction of their external debt, and is utilizing the savings from the relief to implement social sector reforms, via its poverty eradication action plan (PEAP). This paper assesses the performance of the social sector programmes being implemented.
