Cultivating success in Uganda

Today's development agenda is ever more focused on results. This book raises questions about how results and outcomes are evaluated, and reflects on notions of 'success' in colonial and contemporary development policy. The first part of the book examines colonial attempts in Kigezi, in southwestern Uganda, to introduce 'cash crops', soil conservation practices, a resettlement scheme, and land tenure reforms. Throughout these chapters the dominant theme concerns the enduring character of smallholder farming conducted in the context of wider economic possibilities.
