EPRC Annual Report 2024-2025

Authors/Editors: Economic Policy Research Centre

Abstract:

The Economic Policy Research Centre (EPRC) is Uganda’s leading think tank in economic research and development policy. We provide policy analysis to support the formulation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of government policies. EPRC has also broadened its scope and repositioned itself to respond to emerging development issues beyond Uganda through evidence-based research. EPRC is an autonomous not-for-profit organisation limited by guarantee. The Centre was established in 1993 to fill the void in economics research, policy analysis, and capacity building for effective in-country contributions to Uganda’s policy formulation process. Since its inception, EPRC has grown into a credible and reputable policy think tank. It prides in a high-quality evidence-based research, strong policy engagement with government MDAs and convening power to bring together a diversity of stakeholders to deliberate on topical development issues affecting Uganda’s development. The Economic Policy Research Centre (EPRC) marked the 2024/25 fiscal year with a series of high-impact research achievements that directly influenced policy and legislation in Uganda. Our efforts were guided by the theme “Accelerating sustainable and productive employment for inclusive economic growth in Uganda,” and our most significant successes reflect this core commitment.
