Abstract
The procurement reform program was carried through by the government of Uganda and its public officials, but the international and foreign government donor agencies exerted pressure and contributed expertise. Transparency International, a leading civil society anticorruption organization, has argued that good public procurement is an important instrument for good governance and thereby contributes to the government's legitimacy and credibility. The features of the Ugandan public procurement system before the inception of the reform program in the late 1990s were typical of many developing African countries that were at one time British colonies or protectorates. Some countries have preferred to regulate government procurement through administrative instructions, such as those made under Public Finance Regulations, rather than by a comprehensive procurement law. Uganda has made great strides toward establishing a procurement system that is transparent, accountable, and delivers value for money. There are many factors that make corruption in Uganda institutionalized and particularly difficult to eradicate.
