Brochure: the Uganda - Belgium partnership
Submitted on 03-09-2010
In 1995, Uganda became one of the 18 partner countries of Belgian cooperation. The objective of Belgian cooperation is to reduce poverty, mainly in rural areas. Therefore, Belgian Development Cooperation is highly aligned with the Ugandan Poverty Eradication Action Plan and its successor the National Development Plan. Another major touchstone is the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness.
The 2009-2012 cooperation programme was raised to 64 million euro (previous programme: 24 million euro). It focuses on the two major sectors of health and education thus avoiding fragmentation of efforts.
For increased predictability, it is Belgium’s intention to cooperate in these sectors over a period of at least 7 to 8 years.
