The 2002 Population and Housing CensusThe Universal Primary Education (UPE) was introduced in 1997 to offer free educationat the primary level. However, access to secondary and tertiary education is limited toonly those who can meet the costs. There are plans by the Government to introduceUniversal Secondary Education (USE) in 2007. The government also sponsors about4,000 students every year through the public universities. In addition, the privatesponsorship scheme is operational in the public universities. University education canalso be obtained from any of the seven private universities in the country. In addition,a large number of institutions both private and public also offer tertiary education.In addition to formal education there exists informal education to serve all thosepersons who did not receive formal education. Under the informal system, a range ofpractical/hands-on skills are imparted to those who have not gone through or onlypartially gone through the formal system of education. The majority in the informalsystem are the young adults and/or drop out and disadvantaged children. TheFunctional Adult Literacy (FAL) programme in the Ministry of Gender, Labour andSocial Development also targets older people who did not get chance to go throughformal training.1.1.6 Macro economyUganda’s economic performance was performing well in the early years ofindependence; with rapid economic growth and development. In the early postindependence period (1962-1966), the economy grew at an average of 6.7 percentper year. By the end of the 1960’s, commercial agriculture accounted for more thanone-third of GDP and industrial output had increased to nearly nine percent of GDP,given the new food processing industries. In the early 1970’s, the governmenttargeted an annual GDP growth rate of about 5.6 percent. However, the politicalinstability and associated economic mismanagement resulted in a persistenteconomic decline that left Uganda among the world’s poorest and least developedcountries.In early 1980s, Structural Adjustment programs were introduced which led to strongeconomic growth of GDP. Hence, the period that followed showed a remarkableincrease in productivity and output. This was given impetus by macroeconomicstability resulting from the macroeconomic reforms. This led to the economy revertingto its high GDP growth rates and low and stable inflation and interest rates from the1990’s to present. The PEAP target was for a GDP growth rate of 5.2 percent in 2003,and an average of 7 percent thereafter.4
Analytical ReportThe economy of Uganda is primarily based on the agricultural sector, with over 70percent of the working population being employed by the sector. Agricultural exportsaccount for over 45 percent of the total export earnings with coffee, tobacco and fishcontinuing to be the main export commodities that bring in foreign exchange.In the last 5 years, the telecommunication sector has been the fastest growing sectorof the economy, and this is due to the expansion programs and increase in coverageby the major telecommunication companies in the country which have led to increasednumbers of subscribers and providers of the services.1.2 Sources of DataThe main data sources for establishing benchmarks for economic and socialindicators for Uganda are censuses and surveys. Information is also obtained fromadministrative records.1.2.1 The Earlier Population EstimatesPrior to 1900, there was limited information on Uganda’s population. The first officialpopulation estimates of the Uganda Protectorate were made in 1900 and 1901, andgave a population at 2 million and 2.5 million respectively which were more or lessaccepted until the first census was carried out in the year 1911.1.2.2 The Population Censuses 1911 - 1991The population censuses in Uganda have been conducted in the years 1911, 1921,1931, 1948, 1959, 1969, 1980, 1991 and 2002. The 1911, 1921 and 1931 populationcensuses were mainly administrative in nature, and for all the three censuses,separate enumeration procedures were made for the African and non-Africanpopulation in the country. For the non-African population and for the Africans living onnon-African premises, census forms were collected from their local administrativecentres. The population census results of 1911, 1921 and 1931 were 2.5 million, 2.9million and 3.5 million respectively.The 1948 Population Census was the first scientific census to be carried out in Uganda.This was followed by the 1959 Censuses. During the two censuses, the AfricanPopulation and the non African population were enumerated separately. The twocensuses were followed by sample censuses of 10 percent and 5 percent respectively.The sample censuses were intended to provide detailed data to help in the planningprocesses.5
