Description
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr. Thokozile Madonko, Researcher at the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies and the Public Economy Project at Wits University, about a major boost for Uganda’s economy. After nearly two years of suspended funding due to concerns over human rights issues, the World Bank has announced it will resume financial support, with an investment of over $2 billion aimed at strengthening Uganda’s infrastructure and private sector. The discussion explores what this means for the country’s economic growth, governance, and its relationship with international lenders.
