There is virtually no land value capture in Uganda (). The national and local governments can use public land lease, but own little land that they can lease and the revenues raised are low. The space for land value capture has actually closed over time after the 1995 Constitution and subsequent laws and policies emphasised that all land belongs to the citizens rather than the government. The 2013 National Land Policy also prevents any form of taxes on land in the near term, until Uganda is a middle-income country (Chapter 3, Section 3.5, Paragraph 16). There is strong political opposition to charge landowners and developers. Moreover, there is virtually no legislation for land value capture instruments; land markets function with severe imperfections; and cadastre data is weak for most urban areas.

Après une année de turbulences, le gouvernement ougandais est parvenu à stabiliser l’économie en 2012, l’inflation ayant reculé de 18.7 % en 2011 à 14.6 %. Le durcissement des politiques budgétaires et monétaires a permis de maîtriser les soldes budgétaires. En réunissant les conditions propices à la reprise et à la croissance, cette stabilisation a toutefois été acquise au prix d’un ralentissement du produit intérieur brut (PIB) à 3.2 % en juin 2012. On s’attend à une reprise progressive, avec une croissance du PIB réel qui devrait atteindre 4.4 % en 2012, puis s’accélérer à 4.9 % en 2013 et à 5.5 % en 2014. Elle pourrait toutefois être inférieure si la suspension de l’aide budgétaire, annoncée par plusieurs donneurs en novembre 2012 à la suite d’une affaire de corruption des pouvoirs publics, est maintenue.

After a year of turbulence, the Ugandan government stabilised the economy in 2012 with inflation falling to 14.6% from 18.7% in 2011. Tightened fiscal and monetary policy helped bring fiscal balances under control. While laying the foundations for recovery and growth, stabilisation came at the cost of a slowdown in gross domestic product (GDP) growth to 3.2% by June 2012. A gradual recovery is expected, with real GDP growth projected to reach 4.4% in 2012, then picking up to 4.9% in 2013 and 5.5% in 2014. Growth could be lower however if the suspension of budget support aid, announced by several donors in November 2012 over a government corruption case, is maintained.
