Abstract

The paper shows that Uganda lacks an adequate institutional framework to achieve agriculture modernization. Based on constellation model, the paper proposes an effective way to promote agricultural development through policy and institutional partnerships at various levels of governance and action by various stakeholders in the sector. From this theoretical perspective, the paper raises salient research questions: Why is Abim District an important focus for Agricultural development? What is the effect of institutional arrangements and partnerships in agriculture development in Abim District? What forms of institutional partnerships and collaboration framework can effectively address the challenge in the District and Northern Uganda as a whole? These concerns are important obstacles to improved agricultural performance in Uganda as dysfunctional institutional arrangements and norms are majorconstraints to agricultural development. The findings demonstrate that institutional gaps, bureaucracy, institutional proliferation and overlapping roles have derailed agriculture modernization. Hence, the development strategy proposes creating and rejuvenating all essential players operating in the region, developing or deepening their inter-linkages through judicious and sustainable partnerships with all the principal players in Abim District.

본 연구에서 우간다는 농업 현대화를 달성하기 위한 적절한 제도적 틀이 부족한 것을 알 수 있다. Constellation Model을 기반으로 본 논문에서는 다양한 이해 관계자에 의한 지배 구조와 행동의 다양한 수준에서 정책과 제도적 협력을 통해 농업 발전을 촉진하는 효과적인 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 이론적 관점에서 Abim 지역에서 농업발전이 가진 의미를 고찰하고, 이 지역 농업발전과 관련된 현행 제도적 장치와 협력 관계를 평가한 뒤, Abim 및 북부 우간다 지역의 농업 및 사회경제적 문제를 해결하기 위한 효과적인 제도적 협력 구조를 탐구한다. 본 논문에서의 중요한 결론은 제도적인 문제들이 우간다에 농업발전에 중요한 역할을 하며 제도적 격차, 관료적 행태 등이 농업 현대화를 저해하는 요인이라는 것을 밝혀냈다. 따라서, Abim지역의 주요한 개발파트너들과 지속 가능한 협력을 통해 상호 연계를 강화할 것을 제안한다.
