2.1 Participation in PRS implementation (overall perspective): Uganda can look back upon eight years of experience with PEAP implementation. And indeed, participation of civil society and parliament in implementation of the strategies was achieved; albeit, scope and quality of participiation has to be examined and evaluated carefully. The continuous work of the sector working groups highlights this development: Meanwhile, they have acquired a noticable role in the annual budget planning through which they exert influence on the implementation of the government strategy. Another example are the institutionalized debates on the utilization of budget funds linked to the Poverty Action Fund (PAF). 2.2 Participation in Policy Reforms linked to the PRS (specific perspective): In some sectors (agriculture, health, education) civil society actors and parliamentarians were and are included in the implementaion of the strategy; examples are: the development of poverty-oriented sector strategies or the discussion on how funds should be invested within each sector. In other important areas, such as fundamental macroecomomic policies, participation however remains weak. A World Bank study concludes accordingly: "Implementing participation in the context of these macro policies is more difficult and yet these policies have the most impact on the poor. One would have expected Uganda, with a longer history of participatory processes, to have made more progress in this area. However, participatory approaches are not having a significant impact in macroeconomic policy decisions and actions on various socio-economic groups and the poor" (World Bank 2002a: 2). There is no indication, yet, that this relatively early assessment ought to be changed. 2.3 Participation in PRS Monitoring: Monitoring of the PEAP implementation is carried out by different participatory mechanisms: Among them are UPPAP und PAF (for details see below), initiated and steered by the government. Furthermore it is worth mentioning that civil society actors consistently made independent efforts regarding the monitoring of poverty-oriented government policy (see Muserero 2002; Labeja 2003). To improve institutionalization of local level monitoring, societal Poverty Action Fund Monitoring Committees (PMCs) were installed at district level, consiting of nine to eleven representatives of NGOs, community-based organizations, women's organizations, and religious organizations. UDN evaluated the information gathered in these committees and refered them to the national debates. Based on this approach, UDN developed the Community Based Monitoring and Evaluation System (CBMES) in 2002. 2.4 Participation in PRS Revision: Uganda has passed through two revision processes. In 2000, three years after the inception of the first PEAP, participatory-based revision began: In December of 1999 the government presented a draft for a revised PEAP. Civil society was explicitly invited to participate in the discussion process on the formulation of a new PEAP. Numerous actors accepted this offer (see Eberlei 2003; Panos 2002: 33). Both donors and NGOs involved lauded the 2000 process as being highly participatory. The submission of the Poverty Status Report 2003 by the government and a new extensive and particpatory-surveyed Poverty Report by UPPAP are regarded as prepatory steps toward a new revision process 2004 (see here and below: Ssewarkiryanga 2005a). A PEAP Revision Guide, describing the process, was compiled. Halfway into 2003 the revision process was launched in a national workshop. Besides consultations within the existing sector working groups, provisions were made for independent civil society consultations as well as consultations at the level of local governments and within the private sector. The members of the sector working groups as well as other actors were represented in four newly-established working groups aligned to the four pillars of the PEAP (Sustainable economic growth, Good Governance, Increasing incomes of the poor, Improving quality of life of the poor). Hence, civil society was represented in all PEAP revision committees and therefore actively involved. According to Piron and Norton (2004: 37), the recent review process has been more open and better organized than the prior; even civil society seemed to be better prepared.
3.1 Structures: Since the first adoption of the PEAP in 1997 various structures were created that aimed at the establishment of participation of non-state stakeholders in the process. The Poverty Action Fund (PAF) with its transparency, cooperative decision-making procedures, and sophisticated monitoring system is the furthest developed model of institutionalized participation in a poverty reduction related context in sub-Saharan Africa. The Uganda Participatory Poverty Assessment Project (UPPAP) constitutes another examplary instrument of institutionalized participation in Uganda. UPPAP was designed in such a way as to enable that the results expand into the political decision-making processes concerned with the poverty reduction strategy of the PEAP. Many observers regard UPPAP as helpful instrument to incorporate the voices of the poor into the political processes. The sector working groups, in which non-state stakeholders are represented, are another structure within the PEAP process. These working groups played a central role in the review proces of 2003/2004; already prior to the second revision they were actively involved in the discussion of the annual budget and its implications for the poverty strategy. 3.2 Rights: The Uganda judicial system allots several participatory rights. The constitution guarantees basic rights such as freedom of opinion and press freedom. Most observers agree that these basic rights are realized. However, they are consistently limited; for example, press freedom regarding critical coverage on the foreign and warfare policies of the Museveni Government. In execution of the constitution the Local Govenment Act allots that planning processes of governance are to begin at village level. Theoretically, all actors should participate at all levels; reality, however, does not reflect this. At national level the Budget Act constitutes an important set of rules that facilitates participation of the Parliament as well as the general public. For instance, it binds the government to present a draft annual budget plan three months prior to its intended adoption. It is remarkable for the PEAP process that government and non-state stakeholders could agree on a "PEAP Revision Guide". 3.3 Legitimacy: The constitutionally fixed Councils-from local to national level-enjoy a high legitimacy. However, elections in recent years have always been discussed and criticized (e.g by donors) because of the prevailing de facto one-party system (which allows other parties, but hinders these); moreover, the allegation of election manipulation persist. Nevertheless, compared to other African countries, the legitimacy of the legislative bodies cannot be denied per se. The National Assembly has influence on the country's policies and has hard-earned scope for development of independent decisions. Societal legitimacy has improved through growing network devlopment and longtime proficient contributions to the policy development in various sectors. However, critical observers point to the limits of societal legitimacy such as selctive participation or the capital-bias. 3.4 Capacity: As for many African countries it must be noted that lack of resources hampers effective civil society participation. Only few fulltime staff are available to capably cooperate in political forums. Most of the staff work double shifts: participation in PEAP processes alongside other tasks such as overseeing development projects. Knowledge of political strategies in poverty eradiction is marginal; the ability to develop alternative e.g. in the area of macroecomonic policy is more than limited (see AFRODAD 2002a: 22). Through the development of popular versions of the PEAP and PEAP related education, actors such as the Uganda Debt Network try to establish broader understanding of the poverty strategy, and thus, provide the ground for participation (Panos 2002: 36).
