Abstract
Supply chain performance of essential drugs has raised public concern in Uganda. The aim of
this study was to examine the relationship between governance structures, ethical behaviour and
supply chain performance of essential drugs in Uganda. 310 respondents were randomly selected
through a quantitative cross- sectional survey. Questionnaires administered and subjected to
rigorous data processing and analysis using SPSS 20.
Findings revealed that supply chain governance structures, ethical behaviour and transaction
costs predicted up to 29.2% ofthe variance in supply chain performance. According to the study,
all the study variables were significant predictors of supply chain performance ofessential drugs.
Governance structures were better predictors of supply chain performance of essential drugs
compared to ethical behaviour and transaction costs.
The study recommends that a research be carried out comprising other factors which were not
part of the model but could predict supply chain performance of essential drugs.
The study further recommended that the key players in the supply chain of essential drugs should
ensure adherence set policies, improve work ethics and endeavour to reduce on transaction costs
