If you have never been to Kampala let me spare you the suspense; it is a poorly planned city and there is little to see in the way of architecture. The good news though is that there is a blogger who is trying to do something about this.

If you have not already done so, read The Observer article by Moses Talemwa on unregulated Savings and Credit Co-operative Organisations (SACCOs). The article highlights the story of a woman who has been defrauded by a microfinance institution in Uganda. The fraud was made possible primarily because SACCOs operate without any state oversight.
