Description: Uganda’s Energy Sector has hitherto been driven by annual ministerial policy statements on the budget. Yet the importance of the energy sector in the economy requires that a long-term planning approach for energy development be adopted. In particular, the liberalisation of the energy sector, in line with the overall macro-economic policies, requires that clear, long-term policy guidelines be in place to encourage project development and harmonise sector activities. In this context the energy policy needs to make institutions support private sector growth as elaborated by the Government in the “Medium-Term Competitive Strategy for the Private Sector (2000-2005)”.
