State can be defined as a sovereign political institution which governs over a society which is made put of individuals
The brief history about president of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni,is that he was elected or came into power in 1986 under the party called “National Movement Resistance” as the president of the party and till now he is the president of Uganda.
Therefore,the main steps/strategies that the state in particular Museven`s regime has used in reorganizing Uganda in the last 3 decades are as follow;
Restoration of peace in Uganda,this strategy was to bring an end to the Lords Resistance Army[LRA] threat in northern Uganda and the surrounding regions like Eastern Uganda ,the peace strategy must shift from one that develop leverage through military planning,tries to press Kony to make a choice about his future and pushes forward a development and security strategy that enables northern Ugandans to return voluntarily,where he tried to sign a peace talk with Joseph Kony but failed which made him to chase Kony outside Uganda hence one of the strategy.
Political liberalization, generally liberalization can be referred to as the relaxation of previous government restriction usually in such areas of political liberalization can be defined defined as increasing citizen rights and liberties. Under Museveni`s regime ,Uganda has been implementing simultaneous political reforms since 1986,where the citizens have the rights and liberties in doing things especially in political issues especially freedoms of speech and many others hence one of the steps or strategies that state in particular Museveni`s regime has used in reorganizing Uganda in the last three [3] decades.
Privatization, this can be referred to as situation where the government transfers its ownership of properties to the citizen or the private companies. These strategy was introduced in 1980s by the Structural Adjustment Program [SAPs] where the government should sell their properties to the private companies.The privatization strategy has several good impacts on the citizens of Uganda especially the employment creation to the people which improves the standards of living and also increased per capita income of the citizens hence one of the main steps/strategies that the state in particular Museveni`s regime used in reorganizing Uganda in the last three 3 decades.
Investment policy, this can be referred to as any government regulation or law that encourages or discourages foreign investment in the local economy especially currency exchange limits. Therefore the state in particular Museveni`s regime encouraged foreign investment in Uganda except during Amin`s regime where he had to send the Asian and Indians away but when Yoweri Kaguta Museveni came into power in 1986,he encouraged the foreign investment which created employment opportunities to the locals also revenue where provided to the government occurred hence one of the strategies or steps used by the particular regime of Museven in reorganizing Uganda in the last 3 decades.
Role of aid, it can be referred as the assistance given by another country or the international organizations. The World Bank and International Monetary Fund [IMF] assisted Uganda during the introduction of Structural Adjustment Program [SAPs] in 1990 which helped Uganda in development issues especially the infrastructural development and many others hence one of the main steps/strategies that the state in particular Museveni`s regime has used in reorganizing Uganda in last three 3 decades.
Role of army, the Uganda People`s Defence Force (UPDF),previously the National Resistance Army which managed to restore peace in Uganda especially in northern Uganda where there was Lords Ressistance Army of Joseph Kony which made people to be displaced and lost their lives but due to the strength of the UPDF, Kony was defeated and had to run out of Uganda and the army managed to restore security in the country especially the terrorism by the Al-shabab militants hence one of the main steps/strategies that the state in particular Museveni`s regime has used in reorganizing Uganda in the last three 3 decades.
Decentralization,it is the process of redistributing or dispersing functions,powers ,people or things away from the central location or authourity to the loacal authority.In the early regime of president Museveni there was adaoption of decentralization especially political,administrative and fiscal decentralization which helped in the development of Uganda in ways like better communication,effective supervision and control and democratic management hence one of the main steps that th state in particular Museveni’s government has used in re-organising Uganda in the last three decades.
Education, in the regime of president Museveni, he managed to introduce free education to Ugandans which favoured the poor who could not afford to take their children to private schools,Universal Primary Education was in 1997 which favoured the poor so much and later he introduced Universal Secondary Education which improved the education system of Uganda where atleast most of the Ugandans achieved primary and secondary education and also created employment to the people hence improved their standards of living hence one of the main steps or strategies that the state in particular Museveni’s regime has used in reorganizing Uganda in the last three decades.
Therefore the current limitations are as follows;
Corruption,this is the embezzlement of public funds by the officials ,where the officials are corrupt which mostly the education system in Uganda,mostly the school heads are so corrupt where they embezzle funds given by the government hence one of the current limitation.
Unemployment,this is the situation where people are left jobless.This is mostly the used of investment policy where the foreign investors brings their works from their home country which left the citizens jobless and leads to poor standards of living of the citizens in Uganda hence one of the current limitation.
Profit repatriation ,the situation where the foreign investers takes away the profits got in the country.This is mostly done by the private investors who are foreigners which leaves the country underdevelopment hence one of the current limitation.
