  Also there is culture, which is the tradition of the people in the society and country as a whole. If the culture promotes good morals that will create peace and security--for example, if the society condemns theft and there are some punishable offenses--there will be development in the country. Likewise, if certain people are keeping their cultural things like drums and spears, tourists could come to see them and pay some income.

Also the social organization of the people can bring development. When people are socially organised they can be mobilized to do some work like road construction, and the government can even build some schools and hospitals to be used by those people. But if they are not organized putting up of infrastructure by the government can be difficult.

And when people organize themselves socially and form a cooperative society, it could be better for them to get some money for their development.

Also education can bring development in Uganda. Educated people will bring skilled labor to be used in industries and offices and even try, like teachers in schools, to educate others who are ignorant. When people are educated, they can export their services outside the country to bring revenue in Uganda, for example, professional doctors.

Also the health of the people will bring development. When people are healthy, it will enable them to do their work more effectively. This can develop Uganda because it can tax them.

Finally, the knowing of information technology--whereby people know how to use the modern ways of communication-- can also bring sustainable development. For example, people in Western Uganda can hear on the radio that people in Eastern Uganda are keeping poultry and have been given a loan, and thus they will also form their order to benefit from the government.

All in all, Uganda needs to critically handle social, economic, and environmental factors that will enable it to develop firmly.
