	Uganda - The Economy
		UGANDA WAS ONCE RICH in human and natural resources and possessed a favorable climate for economic development, but in the late 1980s it was still struggling to end a period of political and economic chaos that had destroyed the country's reputation as the "pearl" of Africa.
		In sum, although the economy provided a livelihood for the population, it was based largely on agricultural commodities with fluctuating international values.
		The economy seemed to have the potential to stabilize, but throughout the decade of the 1980s its capacity to generate growth, especially industrial growth, was small.
