Uganda: A Different Drummer--A Video

Uganda has begun eradicating poverty with a unique approach. Gone is the old way of government telling the poor what's good for them. Instead -- via community meetings around the country -- the poor are telling government what they want and government is responding. The results so far: better healthcare, free elementary education, new roads and agricultural extension programs. And the bright lights of transparency are exposing corruption. Uganda's struggle to eradicate poverty and reduce debt is told in a new fact-based video produced by the IMF Video Project. With compelling images and interviews, the video traces the beginnings of the poverty and debt reduction initiative, implementation of the program and its impact on the people of Uganda.
