Writing from the receiving end, as it were, Mugyenyi stresses the element of compulsion from the international side implicit in the whole exercise of imposing 'conditionalities' upon Uganda. As a result of what he characterizes as incompetence in negotiating with international financial institutions and also 'home-grown socio-political administrative disabling factors', Mugyenyi describes the NRM government as accepting its particular SAP without enthusiasm or very much prior dialogue with the IMF/World Bank but rather through a process of negotiation surely more accurately to be characterized as the diplomacy of mutual exhaustion.
Even more crucial than relations with neighbours in determining the viability of Uganda's latest SAP will be the level of future international donor support. Lateef suggests that one reason for the mixed results of SAPs in Uganda to date has been inadequate external support from the more important donor countries. One consequence is that Uganda still suffers from a huge foreign debt, which eats up about two-thirds of its current foreign exchange earnings in interest payments. Yet, as Mazrui comments, recent developments in Eastern Europe may well depress still further external donor interest in African countries such as Uganda, while high oil prices as a result of continuing turmoil in the Middle East may well make Uganda's economic situation even more onerous in the immediate future.
