Defining and Implementing Conditionality - the Case of Uganda

Sammanfattning: The paper provides a description of conditionality mainly focusing on the years 1995-2005. Initially, the two main theoretical approaches to conditionality, the principal agent model and the political economy approach, are outlined. Conditionality is then described as it has been defined and implemented by the Bretton Woods Institutions, the European Commission and a few bilateral donors. The case of Uganda is then introduced, with two sets of conditions observed in Uganda providing the case on which the theoretical approaches to conditionality are tested.
