This volume assesses Uganda's recovery since Museveni came to power in 1986. Uganda's recovery has been one of the heartening achievements in a continent where the media have given intense coverage to disasters. This text assesses whether the reality lives up to the image which has so impressed the donors.It incorporates the influential Roskilde series of meetings between Ugandans, academics and officials of international organizations. The success of the reforms so far is considered, as are the future prospects. North America: Ohio U Press; Uganda: Fountain Publishers
