Political party manifestos do not address a number of key challenges that are undermining development efforts in the sector. The backward focus apparent within so many manifestos also points to a dearth of policy innovation within Uganda’s political parties themselves.Text1 digital file (31 p. : ill.)enAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURE SECTOR GROWTHAGRICULTURAL POLICYPOLITICAL PARTY MANIFESTOSUGANDAPromoting agriculture sector growth and development : a comparative analysis of Uganda's political party manifestos (2011-2016)Journal (Full)
