Chapter six presents and discusses the results based for Uganda. The analysis covers the four major aspects of the study. The findings show that the size of the civil service was reduced, salary was increased albeit unevenly, capacity building mechanism were put in place, and attempts to enhance ethics and accountability were made. The analysis shows that implementation of the four aspects of the reform followed a similar trajectory. Initial considerable success was attained, only to be undermined by political considerations. Chapter six concludes that while size reduction has generally been
achieved, in spite of salary raises pay reform has not attained its goal. Capacity building is precarious because it is still difficult to hire and retain quality staff, and the enhancement of ethics and accountability is far from becoming reality. The study contends that the reform has been derailed by poor implementation strategies and gradual
lack of political will and political legitimacy.
