Abstract

Since the end of the colonial era, aid assistance has been one of the crucial manifestations of the cooperation between African countries and the international arena. While it has often been criticized because of its neocolonial, neoliberal, or simply ineffective impact, aid disbursement has found in Uganda one of its most famous success stories. Indeed, Uganda has arguably gathered exceptional achievements over the years when it comes to social and economic development. The ways in which the Ugandan government has managed to attract foreign aid, however, have not always been completely genuine. This note offers a brief excursus into the strategies employed by Museveni's government to attract resources from the international arena, and how these resources have been diverted toward objectives far from the ones that the donors had in mind.
