According to the World Bank, Uganda may be able to reach its Millennium Development Goals (MGDs) by 2015. Uganda is one of few Sub-Saharan African countries to be in reach of these goals. However, to be in reach does not say much. Uganda will need to double its efforts in the next five years in order to achieve its MDGs. During this time of economic need, this seems unlikely, especially as the World Bank has also forecasted that the global gross domestic product will shrink from 3.5% growth in 2010 to 3.3% growth in 2011. Uganda will need to beat the odds and work against a system that has all countries struggling in order to double efforts. However, experts are beginning to hope that the economic downturn is finishing its course. If so, perhaps Uganda will join the few countries in 2015 able to achieve their MDGs.
