The update's objectives are: (a) to take stock of progress in the mainstreaming of trade in the national development plan and of the implementation of action matrix recommendations; (b) to complement and deepen the analysis in selected areas; and (c) to revise and update the action matrix to take account of the evolving context since 2006. The aim of the analysis is to assist the Government of Uganda in defining an overall competitiveness strategy for inclusive, job creating export-led growth, and to further mainstream trade, in particular regional trade integration, into the general policy orientation defined by Uganda's key policy documents, including the 2010 National Development Plan (NDP). Regional integration can be a key instrument to realize these objectives, provided that commitments are adhered to and that the regional agenda develops around the goal of an open, competitive single market in goods and services. Building on the Government of Uganda's strategic documents and the results of missions on the ground, the DTIS update provides practical, detailed guidance to achieve these objectives through in-depth analysis and an overall action matrix.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACTION PLANADJUSTMENT MECHANISMSADVERSE EFFECTSAGRICULTURAL PRACTICESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREAIRPORTSALTERNATIVE ROUTESARABLE LANDBENCHMARKINGBEST-PRACTICEBILATERAL TRADEBINDING CONSTRAINTSBONDSBOOKMARKBORDER CROSSINGBORDER MANAGEMENTBOTTLENECKSBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS PERFORMANCECAPABILITIESCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL ACCOUNTCAPITAL INFLOWSCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCAPITAL STOCKCENTRAL BANKCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMMON MARKETCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVE MARKETCOMPETITIVENESSCONGESTIONCONNECTIVITYCONSUMERSCURRENCYCUSTOMSCUSTOMS REVENUECUSTOMS UNIONDATABASE SYSTEMDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDISTORTED INCENTIVESDIVIDENDSDOMESTIC INFLATIONDRIVINGECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESEQUIPMENTEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE SYSTEMEXISTING INFRASTRUCTUREEXPLOITATIONEXPORT GROWTHEXPORT PROMOTIONEXPORT PROMOTIONSEXPORT SECTORSEXPORTSEXTERNAL TRADEFERRIESFINANCE CORPORATIONFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL PRODUCTSFINANCIAL SERVICESFISHFISHERIESFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTORSFRAUDFREIGHTGDPGOVERNMENT ACTIONGOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENTGOVERNMENT REVENUEGROWTH INVESTMENTSGROWTH RATESHARMONIZATIONHIGH TRANSPORTHIGH TRANSPORTATIONHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCESICTINCOMEINEFFICIENCYINFLATIONINFLATIONARY PRESSURESINFORMATION SERVICESINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINFRASTRUCTURE REHABILITATIONINNOVATIONINPUT USEINSPECTIONINSTITUTIONINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICESINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL RESERVEINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT MANAGEMENTJOB CREATIONLABOR MARKETLDCSLIBERALIZATIONSLIQUIDITYLORENZ CURVEMACROECONOMIC MANAGEMENTMACROECONOMICSMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESMARKET ACCESSMARKET FAILURESMARKET SHAREMARKET TRENDMARKETINGMICRO-FINANCEMOBILITYMODE OF TRANSPORTATIONMONETARY AUTHORITIESMONETARY POLICYMONITORING MECHANISMSMONOPOLYMORAL HAZARDMULTILATERAL TRADENATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL PARKSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNDPOILOIL RESERVESOIL SECTOROPEN MARKETSPARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPETROLEUM PRODUCTSPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOPULATION GROWTHPORTFOLIOPORTFOLIOSPRIVATE CAPITALPRIVATE INVESTORSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATE SECTORSPRODUCERSPRODUCTIVE ASSETSPRODUCTIVITYPROVEN RESERVESQUALITY STANDARDSRAILRAIL LINKSRAIL TRANSPORTRAILWAYRAILWAY LINERAILWAYSRAPID GROWTHREAL GDPREFORM PROGRAMREGIONAL INTEGRATIONREGIONAL TRADEREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESULTSRETAINED EARNINGSRISK MANAGEMENTROADROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD TRANSPORTROADSSAFETYSAVINGSSCARCE CAPITALSINGLE MARKETSTABILIZATION POLICIESSTATISTICAL ANALYSISSTORAGE FACILITIESTARIFF BARRIERSTAXTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETERMS OF TRADETRADE ASSOCIATIONTRADE COMPETITIVENESSTRADE DEFICITSTRADE DIVERSIONTRADE FACILITATIONTRADE FINANCETRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRADE REFORMSTRAFFICTRAFFIC VOLUMETRANSITTRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSIT TRADETRANSPARENCYTRANSPORT CAPACITYTRANSPORT CORRIDORSTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT FACILITATIONTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSTREASURYTRUCKSTRUEVALUE ADDEDVALUE CHAINVEHICLEVEHICLE POPULATIONVOLATILITYWHOLESALE PRICESWORLD TRADEWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWTOWorld Bank10.1596/16035
