A People’s Pension: The right to social security for older persons in Uganda – Lessons from Southern and Eastern Africa
A People’s Pension: The Right to Social Security for Older Persons in Uganda is a working paper jointly produced by ISER and RAISE, synthesizing lessons from eight countries to demonstrate how universal, tax‑financed pensions can guarantee dignity in old age. Drawing on experiences from Denmark to Kenya, this working paper maps a clear, phased path for expanding Uganda’s Senior Citizens’ Grant into a fully rights‑based pension. Read on for comparative insights and a 2040 vision that makes social protection a legal entitlement for everyone aged 60 and above.
