AB  - The World Bank’s structural adjustment program to developing 
  countries brought about privatization of formerly government services to private 
  sector administration. Uganda is one such country in sub-Saharan Africa that 
  has been affected by these policy shifts. Whereas some countries have shown 
  positive results under privately funded extension services, others have not. 
  The analysis shows that in Uganda, the major limitations that the privatization 
  of forestry extension services faces includes farmers’ scale of production, 
  insufficient human and physical resources, limited institutional linkages and 
  to some extent, land ownership. These findings suggest a combination of both 
  public and private funding for extension services (partial privatization), consideration 
  for long-term plans for the benefits to be realized and investment in farmer 
  education to enhance their capacity to demand appropriate services, contract, 
  manage and evaluate private service providers.
