Abstract
Uganda has had one president, Yoweri Museveni, for 26 years. Regime longevity has granted Museveni a politically rare chance to flirt with Marxism (1986–9), embrace orthodox neoliberalism (1989–97), and eventually, rediscover developmentalism. 1 The rediscovery of developmentalism has involved the partial resurrection of certain old institutions (such as the Uganda Development Corporation), the reform of others (such as National Water & Sewerage Corporation), and the birth of new developmentalist institutions (such the Uganda Energy Fund).
