However, ODA from Germany to Uganda topped $160 million in 2022, compared to just $44 in 2015, making the country one of Uganda's most important development partners currently, though the bulk of the ODA was channeled directly into development projects rather than budget support.

All indications are that Kenya has now replaced Uganda as the donors' "blue-eyed bond" in the region. The country received a total of $1,896m in total ODA and $1,157 million from the World Bank's International Development Association, compared to Uganda's rather meager $338m. However, ODA from the European Union institutions to Uganda climbed to $170m, though still lower than Kenya's $180m.
