Live from Uganda

|

As a complement to the G8 summit's focus on alleviating African poverty, BBC's Newshour has been running an interesting series of Claire Bolderson's reports from Uganda. This one includes an exchange with a Ugandan radio pundit Andrew Mwenda on the pernicious effects of foreign aid, which Mwenda argues undermines reform by making governments more responsive to international donors than domestic constituencies. This report includes interviews with Ugandan entrepreneurs on the difficulties of finding start-up capital.
