GEOGRAPHY

Uganda is located in southeast Africa between 1º S and 4º N latitude, and
between 30º E and 35º E longitude. Its geography is very diverse consisting of
volcanic hills, mountains, and lakes. The country sits at an average of 900
meters above sea level. Both the eastern and western borders of Uganda have
mountains. The Ruwenzori mountain range contains the highest peak in Uganda,
which is named Alexandra and measures 5,094 meters.

Lakes and rivers
Much of the south of the country is heavily influenced by one of the world’s
biggest lakes, Lake Victoria, which contains many islands. The most important
cities are located in the south, near this lake, including the capital Kampala
and the nearby city of Entebbe. Lake Kyoga is in the centre of the country and
is surrounded by extensive marshy areas.

Although landlocked, Uganda contains many large lakes. Besides Lakes Victoria
and Kyoga, there are Lake Albert, Lake Edward, and the smaller Lake George. It
lies almost completely within the Nile basin.


POPULATION

Uganda’s population grew from 9.5 million people in 1969 to 34.9 million in
2014. With respect to the last inter-censal period (September 2002), the
population increased by 10.6 million people in the past 12 years. Uganda’s
median age of 15 years is the lowest in the world. Uganda has the fifth highest
total fertility rate in the world, at 5.97 children born per woman (2014
estimates).

There were about 80,000 Indians in Uganda before Idi Amin required the expulsion
of Ugandan-Asians (mostly of Indian origin) in 1972, which reduced the
population to as low as 7,000. Many Indians, however, returned to Uganda after
Amin’s ouster in 1979. Around 90 percent of Ugandan Indians reside in Kampala.

According to the UNHCR, Uganda hosts over 1.4 million refugees on its soil as of
August 2021. Most come from neighbouring countries in the African Great Lakes
region, particularly South Sudan (68.0 percent) and Democratic Republic of the
Congo (24.6%). In August 2021, Uganda received some refugees from Afghanistan
following the Taliban takeover.


DISTRICTS

As of 1 July 2020, Uganda is divided into 135 districts plus the capital city of
Kampala, which are grouped into four administrative regions.

Since 2005, the Ugandan government has been in the process of dividing districts
into smaller units. This decentralization is intended to prevent resources from
being distributed primarily to chief towns and leaving the remainder of each
district neglected.

Each district is further divided into counties and municipalities, and each
county is further divided into sub-counties. The head elected official in a
district is the chairperson of the Local Council V.


CITIES

In May 2019, the Cabinet of Uganda approved the creation of 15 cities, in a
phased manner, over the course of the next one to three years.

Kampala is the capital and largest city of Uganda. The city proper has a
population of 1,680,000 and is divided into the five political divisions of
Kampala Central Division, Kawempe Division, Makindye Division, Nakawa Division,
and Rubaga Division.

Kampala’s metropolitan area consists of the city proper and the neighboring
Wakiso District, Mukono District, Mpigi District, Buikwe District and Luweero
District. It has a rapidly growing population that is estimated at 6,709,900
people in 2019 by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics in an area of 8,451.9 km2
(3,263.3 square miles).

H.E. GEN YOWERI KAGUTA MUSEVENI

President of the Republic of Uganda

I shall not be deterred by people who don't see where the future of Africa lies.
It is the short-sighted people who put their opinions in writing. They don't
understand that the future of all countries lies in processing.
- H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
