Resumen
Descripción
The Uganda Human Capital Development and Growth Review (UHCDGR) adopted a lifecycle approach to analyzing the state of human capital in Uganda and factors affecting progress. In doing so, it reflects the approach taken in NDP IV, which is focused on meeting the changing needs of individuals throughout their lives—from the womb to old age and at every stage of life in between. First, the UHCDGR presents a comprehensive analysis of the current state of human capital development in Uganda, including its achievements to date, the challenges that it faces, and the potential that exists for investing in its people. Chapters 2 to 6 discuss each of the human capital sectors in turn—education, health, water and sanitation, social protection, and jobs—all of which interrelate across the lifecycle. Based on this analysis, Chapter 7 recommends four cross-sectoral “game changers” that have the potential to accelerate the pace of human capital development and thus enable Uganda to reap the benefits of its demographic transition and achieve its development goals.
