Abstract: Public procurement reforms (PPRs) in developing countries have been implemented for the last ten years through a number of legal and institutional changes. To assess the extent to which central and local government procuring and disposing entities (PDEs) in Uganda were compliant to the procurement legal framework, the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Authority (PPDA) conducted a compliance assessment on 120 entities in 2008. This paper presents results on the performance of central and local government entities on eight compliance areas. We analyse the areas where entities were commended as highly satisfactory and those where they were unsatisfactory.
