Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between foreign aid and
infrastructural development in Tororo District. The study was guided by three objectives namely;
determining the extent of foreign aid, the level of infrastntctural development and determining
examine the impact of foreign aid on infrastructural development in Tororo district Uganda. The
study comprised of a population of 144 respondents from which a sample size of 105
respondents were selected, and a descriptive research design was used to collect data from 105
respondents using self-administered questionnaires as the main data collection instrument. The
extent of foreign aid was generally satisfactory (overall mean=3 .99) which implied that
emergency aid provided to the citizens of Tororo has always helped in saving their lives, the
level of infrastural development was rated (mean= 3.02), which implied that Tororo district has
relatively attained a high infrastructural development, and the two variables are positive and
significantly correlated (r-value=.578 and sig=0.003), this means rejecting the null hypothesis
that there was a significant relationship between foreign aid and infrastructural development in
Tororo District. Arising from the findings, appropriate recoinmendations and areas of further
research were made. Recommendations based on findings were that; the emergency aid provided
to the citizens should always consist of the provision of funding or in-kind services like logistics
or transport, should be given to the citizens in terms of grants where no repayment is required
and more development aid should be provided to the citizens of Tororo district with the purpose
ofroad maintenance in the villages.
