UDN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 477th EDITION 2026

What happens when nearly four out of every ten shillings in the national budget are spent on debt servicing before a single classroom is equipped, a health facility stocked, or a road constructed?

In this week's newsletter, we provide an in-depth analysis of Uganda’s FY2026/27 National Budget, highlighting concerns over the growing debt burden and its implications for public service delivery. The edition examines how debt servicing is projected to consume UGX 33.4 trillion, nearly 40% of the national budget, and explores the potential impact on investments in education, health, social protection, and other priority sectors.
