Unbalanced growth strategy (Pole growth strategy)

This   is  where   all  economic   resources   are  mobilized    and  channeled   towards    the   growth   and development of priority  (leading) sectors which  then  induce growth  and  development in  other sectors.

The strategy aims at deliberately   creating   planned   imbalance   in the economy   so as to attain economic growth and development.   By concentrating   on one sector  or a few  sectors  which have  the  greatest  linkage  effect,  for example   developing the agricultural   sector  first  for the  case of Uganda,  it can later stimulate  the growth  and development   of the industrial   sector  by releasing labour,  supplying  raw materials  and providing  markets  for the industrial  products.
