Abstract
The invitation by the United States under President Donald Trump for Uganda to join a "Trade over Aid" initiative is a critical shift in the global development landscape, one that Kampala cannot afford to ignore but must approach with caution and clarity.
At its core, the initiative seeks to replace traditional donor-recipient relationships with partnerships rooted in trade and private sector investment. Washington argues that the old model of foreign aid, often criticised as one-directional and government-driven, has outlived its usefulness.
