Uganda appears to be on track to meet four of these goals by 2015: halving the poverty rate, eliminating gender disparities in primary school, halving the number of people without safe drinking water, and reversing the spread of AIDS. The country s performance is off track, however, in achieving substantial reduction in infant, child and maternal mortality, halving the number of people without access to sanitation facilities, eliminating gender disparities in secondary school, and achieving 100 percent primary school enrolment. This report seeks to identify challenges to improvement of human development outcomes, and to suggest ways of dealing with these challenges in order to improve service delivery, and therefore progress in human development indicators. It examines how well Uganda has moved toward achieving its PEAP targets for human development, focusing on three sectors: education, health care, and water and sanitation. The report argues that the key to improvement in social services - whether it be education, health care, or water and sanitation - is a new more efficient service delivery framework, a framework with improved links among the policymakers who shape broad goals, the providers of the services, and the customers who are the recipients.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO FAMILY PLANNINGACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROMEADULT LITERACYADULT POPULATIONAGE AT MARRIAGEAGEDALLOCATION OF RESOURCESBABYBASIC EDUCATIONBIRTH RATESBLUEPRINTCAREGIVERSCHILD LABORCHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATECHILD NUTRITIONCHILD SURVIVALCITIZENCITIZENSCIVIL UNRESTCLINICSCOMPLEMENTARY MEDICINECONTRACEPTIVE SUPPLIESDEATH RATESDECISION MAKINGDECLINE IN BIRTH RATESDELIVERIES IN HEALTH FACILITIESDEMAND FOR SERVICESDEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT EXPENDITUREDEVELOPMENT INTERVENTIONSDIPHTHERIADISABILITIESDISSEMINATIONDROPOUTDRUGSEARLY PREGNANCIESECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIESELIMINATING GENDER DISPARITIESENROLMENT RATESFAMILIESFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY PLANNING SERVICESFEMALE EDUCATIONFEMALE LITERACYFERTILITYFERTILITY RATEFERTILITY RATESFEWER CHILDRENFINANCIAL CONSTRAINTSFOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONSFOOD PRODUCTIONGENDER DISPARITYGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUITYGENDER GAPGENDER GAPSGENDER INEQUALITIESGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER ISSUESGLOBAL DEVELOPMENTGLOBAL DEVELOPMENT GOALSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEHEALTH CAREHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH CONSEQUENCESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INFRASTRUCTUREHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTH WORKERSHEALTH-SECTORHIGH POPULATION GROWTHHIVHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSHUMAN RIGHTSHYGIENEILLNESSIMMUNIZATIONIMMUNODEFICIENCYINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDSINEQUITABLE DISTRIBUTIONINFANTINFANT DEATHSINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTISOLATIONLACK OF KNOWLEDGELEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVE BIRTHSLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOWER FERTILITYMARKETINGMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL HEALTH SERVICESMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATEMATERNAL MORTALITY RATIOMATERNITY SERVICESMEDICAL CAREMEDICAL FACILITIESMEDICAL PERSONNELMEDICINESMIDWIVESMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMODERN CONTRACEPTIONMODERNIZATIONMORBIDITYMORTALITYMOTHERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL LEVELNATURAL RESOURCESNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSNUMBER OF PEOPLENURSESNURSINGNUTRITIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSOPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENPATIENTSPEACEPERMANENT DISABILITIESPHARMACIESPHYSICAL HEALTHPOLICY FORMULATIONPOLICY MAKERSPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HEALTHPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATEPOPULATION INCREASEPRACTITIONERSPREVENTABLE DISEASESPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CARE FACILITIESPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL ENROLMENTSPRIMARY SCHOOLSPROGRESSPUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITYPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC HEALTHQUALITY EDUCATIONQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF HEALTH CAREQUALITY OF SERVICESRAPID POPULATION GROWTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPECTRURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL HEALTH UNITSRURAL POPULATIONSAFE DRINKING WATERSAFE WATERSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSCHOOL ENROLMENTSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY ENROLMENTSSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL ENROLMENTSEGMENTS OF SOCIETYSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSERVICE QUALITYSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL RETURNSSOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SERVICESSPOUSESPREAD OF AIDSTERTIARY LEVELSTETANUSTRADITIONAL HEALERSUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONURBAN AREASURBAN POPULATIONUSE OF CONTRACEPTIONUSER FEESWALKINGWARWOMANWORKERSWORKFORCEWorld Bank10.1596/12658
