US releases $38.6 million in annual development aid

    NAIROBI
    The US has signed an agreement with Uganda to provide US $38.6 million in development assistance funds for diverse programmes in agricultural development, environmental conservation, primary education, health, democracy and governance. The grant represents almost half of approximately US $80 million in annual assistance that USAID provides to Uganda - US $30 million in food aid and US $10 million in technical assistance accounting for the remainder - a press release received by IRIN stated. The US $38.6 million tranche of funding would support USAID's 1997-2001 development strategy in Uganda, which aims to work with government, the private sector and civil society organisations.
