Uganda Poverty Reduction Support Credit 6

closed

This poverty support credit (PRCS) is the second in a series of three PRSCs planned to support implementation of Uganda's third Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP). This is the sixth PRCS (PRCS6) and it will complement government and other development partner resources in financing priority programs for poverty reduction and growth. A set of specific reforms to be undertaken by the government in conjunction with this PRSC operation, deriving from the PEAP policy and results matrix, have been agreed. PRCS6 supports four of the five pillars of the third PEAP: health, education and water sector programs (since PRSC1), public sector management and anticorruption efforts, and the rural growth agenda (since PRSC2), programs related to gender and infant and maternal mortality, and the strengthened results orientation (PRSC4), and accelerated growth through stronger rural development and a better investment climate (new in PRSC6).
