1 Environment Statistics
This section presents statistics on land, climate and rural water supply.
1.1 Land
Uganda has an area of 241,550.7 square kilometres (sq. km) of which 41,743.2 sq km are open water and
swamps, and 199,807.4 sq km is land. The altitude above sea level ranges from 620 metres (Albert Nile)
to 5,111 metres (Mt. Rwenzori peak). Uganda is located within the Great Lakes region of East and
Central Africa. It shares Lake Victoria with Kenya and Tanzania and Lakes Albert and Edward with
the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Within its boundaries are lakes Wamala, Bunyonyi, Katwe,
Nakivale, Mburo, Kyoga, George and Bisina.
The three major rivers in Uganda are Aswa, Kagera and the Nile. There are many other smaller rivers and
streams which drain into wetlands and then lakes or form tributaries and sub-tributaries to the major rivers.
The vegetation is mainly composed of savannah grassland, woodland, bush land and tropical high
forest.
Table 1.1 below shows the national land cover in sq. km. by type. The cultivated land cover being the
largest increased from 84,010 sq. km. in 1990 to 99,018.4 sq. km. in 2005. The second in size are the
grasslands. Those remained constant at 51,152.7 sq km for the same periods. Notably, the bush lands
and woodlands decreased from 14,223.9 sq. km. and 39,740.9 sq. km. in 1990 to 11,893.6 and 29,528.1
sq. km. in 2005 respectively. Similarly, plantations (hard and soft woods), tropical high forest (depleted
and normal) have decreased over the period.

1.2 Rainfall
Figure 1.2.1 below shows Long Term Average and Monthly rainfall trends for the year
2008 for the selected centres, that is, Gulu, Kampala, Jinja and Mbarara.
In the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2008 rainfall was generally below the long term average
trend while in the 3rd quarter rainfall was above the long term average trend. In the 4th
quarter however the rainfall figures for Gulu fell slightly below the long term average trend. In 2008,
the lowest rainfall was recorded in February.
For Kampala centre, during the 1st half of 2008 the rainfall level was higher for some months than
the long term average. However, the long term average was higher than the rainfall received in the
2nd half of 2008. There was a drop in the December 2008 rainfall as compared to rainfall of the
previous month of November 2008.
In Jinja, most months showed minimal differences between the long term average and 2008 rainfall
trends, except for September 2008 which recorded 90 mm of the long term average trend
compared to 13 mm of the rainfall of the same month. It can also be observed that both the long
term average and 2008 rainfall have generally similar movements.
The rainfall movements for Mbarara for 2008 were similar to that of the long term average for most
of the months, although the 2008 rainfall was generally higher than the long term average rainfall
for the most months. The highest difference between the long term average (147.7 mm) and the
2008 rainfall was recorded in September (298.5 mm). (See Statistical Appendix Table 1.2 A)

1.3 Temperature
For all the selected centres, mean, maximum and minimum temperature trends showed
similar patterns to that of the long term average. However, temperature for Arua, Gulu, Kampala,
Lira, Masindi and Tororo was slightly higher than the long term average. (See Statistical Appendix
Table 1.3A).

1.4 Humidity
Monthly mean relative humidity at 06.00 and 12.00 hours was generally in line with the long term
average for all the selected centres (Gulu, Jinja, Kampala and Mbarara), except for Mbarara
where the patterns differ.
1.5 Rural Water Supply
The Directorate of Water Development has the responsibility of supplying water to the rural
population. Table 1.5.1 shows that above 50 percent of the rural population is served with
water although there was a slight decline of 2.3 percent in 2006 compared to 2005.

1.6 Forestry
This section presents statistics on forestry which include area on Local and Central Forest
Reserves, production of forestry products and values of the output for the period 2003 to 2007.
Forestry products are of extremely high economic importance to Uganda due to their household,
small and medium scale industrial uses. The energy sector is characterised by heavy dependence
on bio-mass resources which provide more than 90 percent of the national total energy needs. Bio-
mass is the dominant energy resource for households, small and medium scale industries such as
lime, brick and tile making and a number of agro-based industries.
1.6.1 Local and Central Forest Reserves
In Table 1.6.1, the area in hectares under forests for both the Central Forest Reserve
(CFR) and Local Forest Reserve (LFR) was determined under the National Bio-mass Study
(1995). In all the regions, the proportion of land under Central Forest Reserves (CFR) was higher
than the Local Forest Reserves. Of the four regions, Eastern had the largest proportion (2.6
percent) under Local Forest Reserves, followed by Central (0.5 percent), Northern (0.3 percent)
and Western (0.1 percent). For more information on Local and Central Forest Reserves see
Table 1.6 A in the Statistical Appendix.

1.6.3 Wood production
Uganda has been registering a steady increase in the total wood production over the last five years
and this trend is likely to continue into the future. The booming construction industry and
inadequate supply of the alternative sources of fuel has pushed up the demand for wood
consumption in commercial, industrial and other use sectors which in 2007 surpassed wood
used as fuel by households as shown in Table 1.6.2 below.

1.6.4 Consumption of charcoal and firewood
Table 1.6.3 shows the value of household expenditure on firewood and charcoal in both monetary
and non-monetary terms as reported in the Household Expenditure Surveys. For a period of
about 10 years, the total nominal value increased by 81.6 percent, from Shs. 18.0 billion in 1996/97
to Shs 32.7 billion in 2005/06. The value of charcoal consumption more than doubled, while
the value of firewood consumption increased by 67.7 percent for the same period.

2 Demographic Statistics
2.1 Population
Uganda’s population has continued to grow over a period of time from 9.5 millions in 1969 to 24.2
millions in 2002. Population increased at an average annual growth rate of 3.2 percent between
1991 and 2002. The projected 2009 mid-year population stands at 30.7 millions as shown in figure
2.1.1. More than half of Uganda’s population (51 percent) are females. The general population is
increasingly becoming younger with a proportion of the children (under 18 years) having increased
from 51 percent in 1969 to 56 percent in 2002. The proportion of the elderly persons (60 years and
above) on the other hand decreased from 5.9 percent in 1969 to 4.6 percent in 2002.

2.1.1 Fertility
The fertility levels have remained high over the past 3 decades, with the Total Fertility Rate (TFR)
of about 7 children per woman. According to the 2006 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey,
the TFR has slightly reduced to 6.7 children per woman. The TFR is higher in the rural compared to
the urban areas. Figure 2.1.2 below shows the trend of TFR over the period 1991 to 2006.

2.1.2 Mortality
There has been a general improvement in mortality levels. The infant mortality rate declined from
122 to 75 deaths per 1,000 live births between 1991 and 2006 while the under five mortality
declined from 203 to 137 deaths per 1,000 live births over the same period. Figure 2.1.3 shows

2.1.3 Life Expectancy
Life expectancy at birth is an estimate of the average number of years a person is expected to live
if a particular pattern of mortality is maintained. Table 2.1.1 shows that the over-all life expectancy
at birth from 2002 Census was 50.4 years for both sexes. Males registered a lower life expectancy
of 48.8 years compared to their female counterparts at 52 years. There was a gain of 2.3 years in
life expectancy between 1991 and 2002 for both sexes.

2.2 Education
Education is perhaps the most important component in any country’s development. It empowers
the population with necessary skills, widens their knowledge of the general public and enlightens
them about their wellbeing. Proper and evidence-based planning for Education is vital for
improvement of the sector. The main source of Education statistics are the returns from schools,
submitted to Ministry of Education and Sports. However, not all schools submit regularly, and this
may cause some inconsistencies in data published in this Statistical Abstract. The response rate
therefore determines the data available.
The statistics presented in this section include total number of education institutions, enrolment in
those institutions, orphans, students with special needs, levels of adult literacy and the number of
persons in the teaching profession.
2.2.1 Primary School Education
The introduction of the Universal Primary Education (UPE) programme in 1997 has improved
access to primary education for a large proportion of the population particularly in the rural areas.
The implementation of this programme has caused tremendous changes in primary enrolment
which has grew from 3.1 millions in 1996 to 7.4 millions in 2008.
Table 2.2.1 indicates that there was a 0.9 percentage decrease in the number of pupils enrolled
between 2007 and 2008. (Details of enrolment by class and sex can be found in Appendix Table
2.2A). Between 2007 and 2008, there was a 3.7 percentage decrease in the number of primary
schools. It is significant that the number of primary teachers reduced by 13.8 percent between
2007 and 2008.This was as a result of streamlining the teachers’ ceiling.The pupil-teacher and
pupil-class room ratios remained the same at 57 and 72 respectively between 2007 and 2008.
(Details are in Appendix 2.2 C).

The Gross Intake Rate (GIR) in 2007 and 2008 was 129 and 128 respectively. Since the GIR is
slightly more than 100, this means that more pupils enrolled in primary school before the age of 6
years or lasted beyond 12 years in primary school. Details of the GIR and other primary education
accessibility indictors are shown in Appendix Table 2.2 B.
10
2.2.1.1 Primary School Orphans
Orphans refer to children who have lost either one or both of their parents. Table 2.2.2 shows that
the number of orphans enrolled in primary schools reduced from 1.33 to 1.27 million children
between 2007 and 2008, giving a 4 percentage point decrease. Among the orphans enrolled in
2008, males had a higher percentage, of 51, compared to the females.
On average, a comparison of the percentage of ophans to the total enrolment indicates that
orphans have remained within the same range of about 17 percent since 2004.

2.2.1.2 Primary School Pupils with disabilities
Primary school pupils with disabilities decreased by 5.8 percent in 2008 and their percentage to
total enrollment also decreased from 24.3 in 2007 to 23.1 in 2008. Details on number of disabled
pupils by class are shown in the table below.

2.2.1.3 Primary school education facilities
At the national level, about three in every five pupils enrolled in primary school had adequate sitting
space. Provision of adequate infrastructure for the children enroled in primary school is key and
remains a challenge to the Education sector.Table 2.2.4 shows that a lower proportion of pupils in
lower classes had adequate space compared to those in upper classes for the period 2007 to
2008. Pupils in lower classes are at a disadvantage compared to those in upper classes.

2.2.1.4 Primary School Completion
The Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS), 2006 collected information on the completion
rates to establish the number of pupils who had continous primary education from Primary 1 to
Primary 7. Comparing the number of pupils enrolled to Primary 1 in 2000 and those enroled in
Primary 7 in 2006, Table 2.2.5 shows that one in every three children who started Primary 1 in
2000 was likely not to complete Primary 7 in 2006.

2.2.2 Secondary School Education
Following the introduction of UPE in 2006, the number of pupils enrolling in secondary school has
been on the increase, leading to an increase in the demand for more secondary schools. Table
2.2.6.shows that between 2007 and 2008, secondary school enrolment declined by 13 percent
which, explains the reduction in the student teacher ratio from 39 to 21 over the same period.
Detailed breakdown on these indicators are in Appendix Tables 2.2 H and 2.2 I

Adequate sitting space refers to three students per standard desk. Table 2.2.7 shows that students
who lacked adequate writing and sitting space were reducing as the classes advanced. However,
in 2008, the total number of students without adequate sitting space increased by about 93 percent
countrywide.

2.2.3 Higher Education Institutions
The government policy to liberalise the education system has led to an increase in the number of
private higher learning institutions. The number of universities has been increasing in the last few
decades and, in addition, more courses have been introduced, hence widening the labour market.
Table 2.2.10 below indicates that 67 percent of the tertiary enrolment in 2006 was from
universities. Male students’ enrolment was the highest, with 58 percent, compared to the females.

2.2.4 Literacy
Literacy is defined as the ability to write meaningfully and read with understanding in any language.
The 2005/06 Uganda National Household Survey revealed an overall literacy rate of 69 percent
among persons aged 10 years and above. Table 2.2.11 indicates that more men were found to be
literate (76 percent) than women (63 percent). Among regions, in 2005/06, the Central region
excluding Kampala had the highest literacy rate (80 percent), while the Northern had the lowest (59
percent). Kampala had a total literacy rate of 91 percent, bearing in mind its special characteristics.
The literacy rates were higher for urban dwellers (86 percent) than their rural counter parts (66
percent).

2.3 Labour Force, Employment and Earnings
Employment generates incomes, which enable individuals and their dependants to purchase goods
and services necessary to meet their basic needs. Availability of productive employment
opportunities greatly reduces poverty.
Data on labour market (jobs, job seekers, employment levels, desired skills etc) in both public and
private sectors is important in order to have accurate information about the quantitative and
qualitative aspects of the labour force. This section presents information on key labour market
indicators, employment in the civil service, employment and the wage bill for selected
manufacturing establishments. In addition, the information on jobs advertised in newspapers gives
an insight on the most demanded occupations in the country.
2.3.1 Key Labour Market Indicators
The Labourforce Market Indicators in Uganda are based on the population in the working age
bracket of 14 to 64 years. These are presented in Table 2.3.1.
The total labour force in Uganda increased from 9.8 million persons in 2002/03 to 10.9 million
persons in 2005/06. The labour force participation rate was 82 percent. The rate was slightly higher
for males than for their female counterparts during 2005/06.The unemployement rate was about 2
per cent in 2005/06 while the total urban unemployment rate was about 7 percent. The time related
underemployment rate was about 12 percent. Thus underemployment and unemployment
accounted for 14 percent of the labour force and 16 percent of the urban labour force.

In 2005/06, the majority of the working population (70 percent) was engaged in agriculture and
mainly as self-employed. By industry, agriculture employed 73 percent of the working population,
while by occupation, 70 percent of the working population were agriculture and fishery workers.
(Appendix Tables 2.3 A, 2.3 B and 2.3 C).
Among the paid employees, the majority were temporary (mainly casual) constituting 12 percent of
the working population. Only about 5 percent of the working population was in permanent paid
employment.
16
2.3.2 Demand for labour
Job/vacancy advertisements portray the demand side of the labour market and act as an indicator
of the expanding sectors in the economy. The information on jobs advertised presented here is
based on two major English Newspapers: The New Vision and Daily Monitor. A job is captured only
once even if it is advertised in more than one newspaper or more than once in the same
newspaper. In 2007, the number of jobs advertised was 9,998, reflecting a decrease of 36 percent
from the previous year.
Figure 2.3.1 below shows the trend in the number of jobs advertised between 2003 and 2007.

The majority of the jobs advertised in 2007 were in the public administration sector (See Statistical
Appendix Table 2.3 D) although its share has been fluctuating since 2003. The International
Organisations1 constituted 14 percent of the total advertisements in 2007. Only about 5 percent
and about 3 percent of the advertisements were in social sectors of health and education
respectively.
During the year 2007, the other professionals’ category (which includes accountants, business
administration, mathematicians, statisticians, system designers, computer programmers, legal
professionals, librarians, biologists, zoologists, etc.) constituted the largest proportion (18 percent)
of occupations advertised. (See Statistical Appendix Table 2.3 E). This category combined with the
health professionals constituted 22 percent of the total newspapers advertisements during 2007.
In the past, the “Primary and other education teaching associate professionals” was the single
largest occupation group advertised, though its share was decreasing from about 43 percent in
2003 to about 22 percent in 2006. In 2007, it was the second highest attracting 13 percent of the
advertised jobs. The ranking for other occupations flactuated from year to year.
2.3.2.1 Number of Vacancies Advertised by Education Level
During the year 2007, 35 percent of the jobs advertised required degree holders while 30 percent
required certificate holders. (See Table 2.3.2). Less than 5 percent of the jobs advertised did not
require any formal education, while 2 percent required a PHD degree. There are variations in the
distribution of jobs advertised by qualifications during the years 2005 and 2004.

2.3.2.2 Re-advertised jobs
In 2007, out of the 9,998 jobs advertised, 288 (about 3 percent) were re-advertised. The majority of
the re-advertised jobs were for professionals (74 percent). This was followed by the associate
professional category with 14 percent during 2007. There were fewer jobs re-advertised for other
occupations during 2007 compared to 2006. The trend is similar for other years except for 2003
when the majority of the re-advertised jobs were for associate professionals.
2.3.3 The Civil Service
The civil service is composed of those persons in the traditional civil service, teaching service
(primary and secondary), police, prisons, public universities and the local governments’ staff.The
average size of the civil service in 2008 was at 274,237 persons as indicated in Table 2.3.3 below.
This was an increase from 259,524 persons (6 percent) in the previous calendar year.

2.3.4 Employment and annual wage bill for selected manufacturing

establishments
The information given here is based on major manufacturing industries selected for the compilation
of the Index of Production (IoP) as well as the Producer Price Index (PPI). A total of 123
establishments that have data for both number of employees and labour costs between 2004 and
2008 have been considered since they provide consistent data for the given period.
Wage employment information in the big manufacturing industries covers the number of employees
and the wage bill for workers who are directly involved in production. For example, the wage bill for
sugar production covers factory workers and the management team but excludes agricultural
labourers or plantation workers.
18
In 2008, the number of employees decreased by about 2 percent, while the wage bill increased by
16 percent as indicated in Table 2.3.4. During the same period the monthly average earnings for
the employees increased by 18 percent.

Food processing was the most dominant industry with one third of the selected manufacturing
establishments, 65 percent share of the total employment and 43 percent share of the monthly
wage bill during 2008. The “Beverages and tobacco” industry with the 6 percent share of the
monthly average employment but with about 23 percent share of the monthly wage bill as indicated
in Statistical Appendix Tables 2.3 F, and 2.3 G.
Employers in the “Manufacture of textiles, clothing and footwear” industry earned the least average
monthly income of shs, 129,700. Those in “Manufacture of bevarages and tobacco” industry had
the highest average income of shs. 1,419,000 as indicated in Statistical Appendix Tables 2.3 H.
2.3.5 The Labour Cost Index
A Labour Cost Index is a measure of the rate of change in the total labour cost. It shows also the
labour costs relative to the base period in the selected manufacturing establishments. It provides a
better understanding of how specific labour markets adjust to changes in the demand and supply
and is a timely measure of wage pressure.
The indicators presented here are based on statistics of average wages in manufacturing, which
generally cover the formal or “modern” sector of an economy. They do not include data on self-
employment income or informal sector activities. The base year is 2004.
The real wages index measures the relative labour costs after deflating the labour costs with the
Consumer Price Index (CPI 2004=100). The Consumer Price Index (CPI), used to calculate real
wages, measures the average change over time of the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services
of constant quality and quantity

In the year 2005, the labour cost index rose by 10 percent, and then by 25 percent between 2005
and 2006. Between 2006 and 2007, there was a relatively high growth from 25 percent to 46
percent in the employment compensation. (See Statistical Appendix Table 2.3 I)
Amongst the manufacturing sectors, beverages and tobacco had the fastest labour cost index
increase in nominal terms (94 percent), and the lowest increase was for the manufacture of metal
(1 percent). The manufacture of beverages and tobacco wages index in real terms had the highest
increase of 40 percent in relation to 2004. The manufacturing of metal products wages index
declined by 27 percent in real terms during the same period.
2.3.6 Employment and earnings survey
The Employment and Earnings Survey was intended to cover all establishments employing 15
persons or more. These were selected from the Uganda Business Register of 2006. The study
covered only six types of industries namely Manufacturing, Construction, Hotels, Education (private
schools), Health (private health institutions) and Horticulture.
A total 655 establishments with a total employment of 38,812 persons were covered. The overall
monthly income was shs. 140,000, with those employed in hotels earning the lowest although they
worked for the longest number of hours a week (60 hours).

Table 2.3.7 shows the distribution of the most common first 20 occupations by mean and median
monthly income. The results indicate that the cleaners followed by the security guards and
manufacturing labourers received the least median monthly income of shs 58,000, shs 65,000 and
shs 65,200 respectively. These were followed by the agricultural labourers who constitute the bulk
of the work force, who received a median monthly income of shs 69,940. In addition, cooks/chefs,
waiters/waitresses, matrons and casual labourers earned a median monthly income of less than
shs. 100,000.

2.4 Income, expenditure and poverty rates
Income and expenditure data have been useful in monitoring the living standards of Ugandans.
However, household consumption expenditure is usually preferred over income in assessing
poverty incidence as it is more accurately reported by the households/individuals. The 2005/06
Uganda National Household Survey collected information on consumption expenditure on food,
beverages and tobacco and non consumption expenditure of households among others2.
2.4.1 Consumption expenditure per household
The Figure 2.4.1 presents the monthly consumption expenditure per household for the 2002/03
and 2005/06 after adjusting for inflation. Uganda’s average household monthly expenditure rose
from Shs. 136,468 in 2002/03 to Shs. 152,068 in 2005/06, representing a real increase of 11.4
percent within a period of three years. The increase was mainly driven by the rural areas (of 14.4
percent) while the urban areas registered an increase of only 4.2 percent over the same period.
Refer to Table 2.4A in appendix.
All regions experienced a positive change between the two surveys. While the increase in
expenditure per household was more pronounced in Western region (19 percent), Central region
excluding Kampala registered the lowest increase (around 10 percent). Kampala recorded the
lowest change in per household consumption of only 1.5 percent over the two surveys.

2.4.2 Real Consumption Expenditure Per Capita
In real terms, the results revealed that, on average, the per capita consumption expenditure
increased from Shs. 26,663 in 2002/03 to Shs. 29,280 in 2005/06, representing a real increase of
about 9.8 percent (Appendix Table 2.4B). The Central region (without Kampala city) had the
highest real per capita expenditure increase from Shs. 32,455 to Shs. 37,281 (about 15%).
Proportionately the Western region also registered a 15 percent real increase. On the contrary, a
real decline of 10 percent is observed for Kampala, from Shs. 88,152 to Shs. 78,798 per month per
capita.

2.4.3 Share of Household Expenditure by Item Group
The trends in the share of each item group in the total household expenditure including non-
consumption expenditures are presented in Table 2.4.3.In 2005/06. The share of food, drinks and
tobacco in total household expenditure remained the highest at 45 percent, followed by
expenditure on rent, fuel and energy at 16 percent. The slight increase in the share of food, drink
and tobacco was driven by urban areas. The share remained at 50 percent in rural areas. Worth
noting was the increase of about 3 percentage points in the share of education, and a similar
percentage point rise in the share of health expenditures in overall total household expenditures3.
The increase in education share was more pronounced in urban areas whereas rural areas
registered a higher increase in the share of health.

Total private expenditure on education increased from Shs. 51.9bn in 2002/03 to Shs. 81.7bn in 2005/06; whereas private
expenditures of health increased from Shs. 29.3bn in 2002/03 to Shs. 53.8bn in 2 005/06, in real terms (1997/98=100).

2.4.4 Poverty Trend Estimates
The Table 2.4.4 presents the poverty statistics for the 2005/06 and 2002/03 surveys. Three poverty
indicators: namely P0, P1 and P2 (see Foster, Greer and Thorbecke, 1984) are reported. The P0
indicator is “headcount”: the percentage of individuals estimated to be living in households with real
private consumption per adult equivalent below the poverty line for their rural or urban sub-region.
The P1 indicator is the “poverty gap”. This is the sum over all individuals of the shortfall of their real
private consumption per adult equivalent from the poverty line, divided by the poverty line. One
way to interpret the P1 is that it gives the per capita cost of eradicating poverty, as a percentage of
the poverty line, if money could be targeted perfectly.
The P2 indicator is the “squared poverty gap”. This is the sum over all individuals of the square of
the shortfall of their real private consumption per adult equivalent and the poverty line divided by
the poverty line. The reason to square the shortfall is to give greater weight to those who are living
far below the line. Thus, whereas P0 measures how widespread poverty is, P1 measures how poor
the poor are and, by giving more weight to the poorest of the poor, P2 gives an indication of how
severe poverty is.
Using the full sample of 2005/06, 31.1 percent of Ugandans were estimated to be poor,
corresponding to nearly 8.4 million persons. Table 2.4.4 provides more detailed statistics, broken
down by region and rural-urban areas. However, excluding districts not covered in UNHS 1999/00,
the headcount stands at 29 percent4.

4 To evaluate poverty trends, the results of the UNHS 2005/06 were compared with those of UNHS 2002/03. The
comparisons are for the entire country. As previously mentioned, the UNHS 1999/00 survey data point was omitted
from this trend comparison as the survey did not cover Kitgum, Gulu, Bundibugyo and Kasese due to
insurgences at the time of the survey.
24
The results in Table 2.4.4 revealed that the percentage of the people living in absolute poverty
declined by 7.8 percentage points, corresponding to a reduction of 1.4 million persons in absolute
terms. This decline is statistically significant. The other poverty indicators (P1 and P2 measures)
follow a similar trend as the headcount index. Thus, the main finding is that, the incidence of
income poverty declined significantly between UNHS 2002/03 and UNHS 2005/06 for Uganda as a
whole, whichever poverty indicator (P0, P1 or P2) is used. The percentage of the population living
below the poverty line reduced from 38.8 percent to 31.1 percent between the two survey periods.
At national level, poverty remained the same in urban areas. However, a significant decline was
observed in rural areas between UNHS 2002/03 and UNHS 2005/06. The percentage of people in
poverty reduced from 42.7 percent to 34.2 percent, corresponding to a decline in the number of
rural people in poverty from 9.3 million to 7.9 million in rural areas. In urban areas, the
corresponding decline was from 14.4 percent to 13.7 percent, recording a slight increase in the
absolute number of the poor from 0.5 million to 0.6 million reflecting the effect of the rapid urban
population growth rate. Other income poverty estimates (P1, P2) mirror a similar trend as observed
for P0.
The decrease in poverty between the surveys is most marked in the Western region where the
headcount declined from 32.9 percent to 20.5 percent (that is, from 2.1 million to 1.4 million
persons in poverty, respectively). In relative terms, this suggests 12.4 percentage points drop in the
poverty headcount well above the nation-wide average of 7.7 percentage points. This reduction is
driven by trends in the western rural areas from 34.3 percent to 21.4 percent. The proportion of
people in poverty in Eastern region declined from 46 percent to 35.9 percent (that is, from 3.2
million to 2.5 million persons, respectively). The decline in Eastern region is driven by the rural
areas, which experienced a 10.8 percentage point drop. In Central region, the decline in the
headcount (P0) indicator from 22.3 percent to 16.4 percent is statistically significant at conventional
levels. The Northern region registered a slight and insignificant fall in the headcount from 63
percent to 60.7 percent. In absolute terms, the persons living in poverty increased from 2.9 million
in 2002/03 to 3.3 million in 2005/06. While the regional rankings of P1 and P2 are identical to the
headcount index, there are some differences in the magnitudes. A case in point is the
proportionately growing difference in the poverty gap index between Northern region and other
regions (especially Eastern and Western regions).
Furthermore, while no significant reduction in the headcount index was observed for Northern
Uganda, the region experienced a significant drop in the poverty gap (by about 12 percent). This
can be explained partly by the various humanitarian interventions and other government
interventions such as the Northern Uganda Social Action Fund (NUSAF). Strong growth in
consumption in other regions explains the declines in the poverty gap. One noticeable point is how
much the poverty gap has reduced vis-à-vis the headcount index over the two year period.
Regardless of geographical location, we find that the percentage drop in the poverty gap is higher
than that of the headcount index, indicative of rising mean consumption of Uganda’s poor.
2.4.5 Inequality in Household Consumption
Table 2.4.5 reports the Gini coefficients as a measure of inequality in household consumption per
adult equivalent. Between the 2002/03 survey and the 2005/06 survey, the Gini coefficient
dropped, and hence inequality declined. The observed decrease was driven by a decline in
inequality of income in urban areas. Income inequality remained the same in rural areas between
UNHS 2002/03 and UNHS 2005/06.
25

Western 0.319 0.359 0.342
National 0.365 0.428 0.408
Since the distribution of income became less unequal between the 2002/03 and 2005/06 surveys,
and growth in consumption was positive and strong, it is not surprising that poverty declined during
the period.
2.4.6 Summary of Findings
The 2005/06 survey showed strong growth in per household and per capita expenditure, especially
in rural areas. The growth between the two recent surveys seems to have benefited the majority of
Ugandans. As a result, the proportion of people living in poverty has declined and so has, in
absolute terms, the number of poor persons. The reduction in poverty is particularly marked for
some sub-groups of the population – including rural areas as a whole and those residing in Eastern
and Western regions. Over the entire period, the poverty headcount index changed little in
Northern Uganda. However, the slight drop was not enough to prevent a rise in the number of
persons living in poverty in the region. A noticeable improvement was a significant drop in the
poverty gap index between UNHS 2002/03 and UNHS 2005/06, indicating that the poor in 2005/06
were not as poor as their counterparts in 2002/03. Another improvement was a decline in inequality
between the two surveys.

2.5 Prices
This section presents statistics on price indices for household consumer goods and services. The
figures included average market prices for selected goods in eight urban centres. The eight centres
are Kampala High Income, Kampala Middle and Low Income (including Entebbe), Jinja, Mbale,
Masaka, Mbarara, Gulu and Arua. Kampala was demarcated into two areas basing on the
consumption pattern of households and their points of purchase. In addition there is a Composite
Consumer Price Index, which is the combined index for the eight centres.
The price indices are compiled using the Modified Lasperyers Index formula. This formula
compares the current month’s prices of a basket of consumption goods and services over the
prices of the same basket of goods and services in the previous month.
2.5.1 The Headline Consumer Price Index
The Headline Index is the measure of the relative changes in prices of all the goods and services
of the consumption basket. The 2008 calendar year registered a double digit inflation rate twice
that for 2007.The rate of 12.0 percent recorded for 2008 compared to 6.1 percent during 2007 was
due to higher prices of most food items which was attributed to seasonal factors as well as to high
local and foreign demand. The financial year 2007/08 however registered a stable inflation rate of
7.3 percent compared to the 7.4 percent registered in 2006/07 (see statistical Appendix: Table
2.5A).
2.5.2 The Core Index
The core index is the measure of the relative changes in prices of all the goods and services in the
consumption basket excluding food crops, electricity, fuel and metred water. The index rose by
11.5 percent for 2008 from the 6.6 percent registered in 2007. The increase is attributed to higher
prices of manufactured foods and to higher fish, charcoal, firewood, house repair and maintenance
prices as well as to increased transport charges caused by high fuel prices (see statistical
Appendix: Table 2.5B).
2.5.3 Food-crops Index
The year 2008 registered very high prices of food crops and related items compared to 2007. Food
crop prices registered an inflation rate of 15.8 percent in 2008 compared to a reduction of 3.8
percent recorded in 2007. The increased prices in 2008 were attributed to seasonal factors and the
high local and foreign demand for food items (see statistical Appendix: Table 2.5B).
2.5.4 The Energy, Fuel and Utilities (EFU Index)
In 2008, the local market registered increases in the prices of fuel, propane gas, metred water and
electricity. The EFU Index increased by 9.1 percent over the period compared to the 21.7 percent
recorded for 2007. (see statistical Appendix: Table 2.5B)
2.5.5 Major Inflation Drivers over the past two years (2007- 2008)
2.5.5.1 Rising food prices
Over the two years, food prices rose by 12.2 percent on average due to scarcity, seasonal factors
and the rising local and foreign demand for food. The European Union for instance consumes
Ugandan fish in large quantities. In addition, Southern Sudan, Eastern Congo and Kenya were
27
major markets for most Ugandan food items, leading to scarcity and higher prices in the local
markets.
2.5.5.2 House Maintenance, Fuel and Utilities
These registered significant increases in prices, amounting on average for 14.5 and 12.0 percent
respectively. High international oil prices per barrel, axle load restrictions and the oil pipeline
breakdown in Kenya caused scarcity on the local market, thus pushing up fuel prices. As a result,
higher costs of production for cement, paint, iron sheets and nails pushed up house repair and
maintenance costs.
2.5.5.3 High transport fares
These went up by an average of 13.5 percent over the past two years, thus impacting negatively
on other sectors in the economy. Communication costs however went down by 0.36 percent over
the same period due to increasing competition within the industry.
2.5.5.4 Depreciation of local currency
The global financial crisis that started August 2008 pushed up the exchange rates, thus pushing up
local prices in most sectors of the economy. Most affected were those that use imported goods and
services as inputs in their production processes or as final consumption items.
28
2.6 Health
This section presents statistics on some of the key aspects of public health for the period 2004-
2008. The aspects covered in this section include the status of health facilities and staffing levels,
immunisation coverage, morbidity and selected health sector performance indicators.
2.6.1 Health Units
Health Units include health facilities such as Hospitals and Health Centres II, III and IV. A health
centre is intended to cover a given administrative area. Through the National Health System, the
government set up a number of Health Sub-District facilities with the intention of building and
strengthening the capacity of health facilities in order to improve health service provision.
Table 2.6 A in the Appendix shows the distribution of health units by district. It shows that in 2006,
a total of 114 hospitals were in place, and 60 of these were public hospitals, 46 others Private-Not-
for-Profit and 8 were private practitioner hospitals.
2.6.2 Immunisation Coverage
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that new borns should be vaccinated against
all the vaccine- preventable diseases by the age of 12 months. The antigens given include BCG
(against tuberculosis), DPT-HepB-Hib (against Diphtheria, Pertusis, Tetanus, Hepatitis B, and
Heamophilus influenzae), Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) (against poliomyelitis and a measles).
Immunisation coverage in children declined in 2008.

2.6.3 Morbidity
Table 2.6.2 shows that Malaria has been the highest ranked cause of morbidity in Uganda over the
last three years while cough or cold without pneumonia has been the second leading cause of
morbidity. The selected diseases listed below appeared among the leading causes of morbidity in
the country.

2.6.4 Health Sector performance indicators
There are various indicators that are used by the Ministry of Health to determine the Health Sector
performance. These include Outpatients Department utilisation in Government and Private-Not-
For-Profit (PNFP) health units, pit latrine coverage, TB cases notified as compared to those
expected and the number of pregnant women who reported receiving a 2nd dose of Fansidar for
Intermittent Presumptive Treatment (IPT) of malaria.
2.6.4.1 Out Patient Department Utilisation
Out Patient Department (OPD) utilisation is a measure of usage of health services and is used as a
proxy measure for both the quality and quantity of services and the health seeking behaviour of the
population. The target of the Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSPII) is 0.9 by 2009/10. Out Patient
Department per capita attendance below 0.6 is considered to be poor. OPD Per capita attendance
(visits to a health unit per person per year) has stagnated at 0.9 at national level for the period
2005 up to 2007. Details of the Districts performance can be seen in the appendix table 2.6F.
2.6.4.2 Pit Latrine Coverage
Pit latrine coverage refers to percentage of households with pit latrines to total number of
households which are designed to have them. Pit latrine coverage is also an output indicator for
the PEAP and HSSP II. There has been an improvement in the pit latrine coverage at national level
from 58 percent in 2006 to 63 percent in 2008. Table 2.6 G in the appendix presents pit latrine
coverage by district.
2.6.4.3 Deliveries in Health Facilities
The indicator “Deliveries in Health Facilities” measures the proportion of all expectant mothers who
deliver in health facilities. Between 2007 and 2008, this proportion stagnated at about 29 percent.
2.6.4.4 Other Health Sector Performance Indicators
In addition to the above indicators, there are other indicators on the performance of the Health
Sector. These include TB cases notified compared to those expected and the number of pregnant
women who reported receiving a second dose of Fansider for Intermittent Presumptive Treatment
(IPT) of malaria to the total number of expectant mothers. Table 2.6 I in the appendix shows that a
half of expected TB cases in Uganda were notified. The proportion of pregnant women who
reported receiving a 2nd dose of Fansider for Intermittent Presumptive Treatment (IPT) of malaria
was 39 percent. Table 2.6 I in the appendix gives the status of selected health sector performance
indicators by district for the year 2008.

Table 2.6.5 shows that 25 percent of the women and 21 percent of the men had ever tested for HIV
and received their results. The proportion of persons who ever tested was higher among the
women compared to the men across the various age groups, except in the 40 – 49 year age group.
Likewise, among those who had been tested in the last 12 months that preceded the survey, the
proportion of women out-numbered that of men.

2.7 Crime
This section covers statistics on crime cases reported to Police, investigated crimes, serious crimes
and crimes under traffic and road safety. It also covers offenders and suspected offenders who are
under the custody of the Uganda Prisons Service, whether on remand or after conviction by the
Uganda courts of laws.
2.7.1 Police cases
The trend of cases reported to police has been increasing over the years, as shown in figure
2.7.1.The cases reported increased from by about 21 percentage points between 2007 and 2008.
This is also emphasised by the upward growth in the trend.

c) Persons killed by road user type
Table 2.7.5 below shows that persons killed in road accident reduced by 6 percent over the three
years from 2006 to 2008. Drivers constituted the least percentage of persons killed, while
pedestrians were the largest group of persons killed in the same period. Between 2007 and 2008,
pedestrians registered the highest percentage decline (23 percent) of all persons killed by road
user type.

d) Road Accident cases
Table 2.7.6 shows a significant drop, of about 42 percent, in the number of road accident cases
reported between 2006 and 2008. In 2008 about 12,000 road accident cases were reported, of
which 77 percent were still under investigations and 23 percent were prosecuted in courts of law.
The rate of prosecution of traffic offences arising from road accidents is believed to be very low as
indicated by the drop of 34 percent in the number of cases taken to court in 2008. However, cases
under investigation reduced by 52 percent between 2007 and 2008.

e) Time of road accidents
The highest number of road accidents (22 percent) occurred between 4:00 pm and 7:00pm for all
categories. This was mainly because of the heavy flow of traffic at that time. The lowest occurrence
was between 12:00 midnight and 3:00am (7 percent) as a result of less activity during that time as
shown in figure 2.7.3 below.

2.7.3 Express Penalty Scheme
About 46,000 offences were reported in 2008 under the Express Penalty Scheme (EPS), which is a
reduction of 18 percent from 2007. This reduction was achieved as a result of the vigorous
implementation of a Traffic Operational Policing Plan (TOPP PLAN) which emphasizes public
awareness on road safety country wide.

3 Production Statistics
3.1 Turnover
Uganda Bureau of Statistics has initiated a sectoral analysis of turnover by industry based on
domestic Value Added Tax (VAT) returns compiled by the Uganda Revenue Authority. Turnover is
the sum of exempt sales, standard rated sales and zero rated sales as per the VAT classification.
VAT is a tax levied on goods and services consumed within a country. The basis of selection for
the sample is the size of turnover of at least ten million shillings in a month as per the VAT
monthly returns. It should be noted that the trends are still spatial due to the challenges of proper
establishments’ classifications, consistency in returns and other data shortfalls. They, however,
provide a fair presentation of sector activity performance.
3.1.1 Number of businesses with turnover by sector
Trends indicate that the number of business establishments consistently increased during 2008
with the second quarter registering an increase of 8.8 percent. Further increases of 10.6 percent
and 0.2 percent were registered in the third and fourth quarters respectively. The Trade sector had
the highest proportion of businesses (53.9 percent) followed by Real Estate and Business Services
(15.3 percent) and manufacturing (12.6 percent).

3.1.2 Turnover in Businesses
The turnover in millions of shillings for these businesses is shown in Table 3.1.2, with 4,506 trillion
shillings as total registered turnover under this category in 2008. The highest turnover was
registered during the 4th quarter of 2008 and accounted for 31 percent of total annual turnover.
Overall, the Trade sector had the highest turnover averaging 502.8 billion shillings per quarter, this
was followed by the Manufacturing sector with an average of 272.6 billion shillings. Education,
Health and Social Works sector registered the least quarterly turnover, averaging only 2.1 billion
shillings.
In the Transport, Post and Telecommunications sector despite having only an average of 96
businesses in the sample, the sector registered a total turnover of 690.6 billion shillings.

3.2 Agriculture and fisheries
This section presents statistics for the period 2004-2008 on production of traditional cash crops,
selected food crops, fish catch and livestock. The agricultural sector provides approximately 73.3
percent (UNHS 2005/06) of employment and most industries and services in the country are
dependent on this sector. The sector contribution to GDP has been declining in the last four years,
and its contribution to the total GDP in 2008 was 21.5 percent.
3.2.1 Cash crops

There was an overall increase of 20.8 percent in coffee procurement between 2007 and 2008. This
resulted from a substantial increase of 25.6 percent in Robusta coffee procured that offset a
decline of 1.5 percent in Arabica coffee. Note that the quantities of coffee procured are used as
proxy to production. Tea registered a reduction of 4.7 percent while tobacco registered an
increment of 10.1 percent between 2007 and 2008 as shown in Appendix Table 3.2A.
3.2.2 Food crops

Despite the 0.1 percent increase in land area covered with bananas over the last three years,
production has been fluctuating with a decline of 3.5 percent in 2006 followed by increments of 2.0
percent and 1.5 percent in 2007 and 2008 respectively. Appendix Tables 3.2B and C provide data
on area under selected food crops as well as production for the period 2004 to 2008.
3.2.3 Fish catch by water body

Lake Victoria is the largest water body by size in Uganda and remains the biggest contributor to
fish catch. Its share of catch was 59.6 percent in 2007, and this was followed by Lakes Kyoga and
Albert with 16.0 percent and 15.1 percent respectively as shown in Appendix Ttable 3.2D.
3.2.4 Livestock
On average, the population of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs increased by 3.0 percent while that of
poultry increased by 2.1 percent in 2008 as shown in Figure 3.2.4 below and Appendix Table 3.2E.

3.2.5 Production of Livestock products (2005-2008)
Livestock products play a key role in raising incomes of households and providing a source of
protein to many families. These include Milk, Beef, Pork, Goat/Mutton and Poultry meat among
others. Milk Production increased by 8.0 percent in 2008. Generally, there has been an upward
trend (besides 2006 slump) in milk production as seen in Figure 3.2.5 below.
Beef production has progressively increased over the years since 2005 and registered an 8.0
percent increment in 2008. Other livestock products which include Pork and Poultry products
recorded up-ward trends in production as in the previous years.

3.3 Industry
3.3.1 Index of Production
The Index of Production – Manufacturing (IoP-M) measures monthly trends in volume of the
manufacturing sector in the country. Monthly data for the compilation of the index are collected on
a quarterly basis. The number of establishments from which data is collected has increased from
about 150 operational establishments (by 2006) to about 209 operational establishments in 2007.
In addition, data on Coffee Processing, Tea Processing and Cotton Ginning is collected in
aggregate form from Uganda Coffee Development Authority, Uganda Tea Association and the
Cotton Development Organisation respectively.
Previously this index was computed using quantities to measure monthly changes in production
volumes. But given the methodological problems associated with quantities, this practice has been
stopped (except for a few products such as coffee, tea and cotton). A new method using sales
values to measure change has been adopted. It should be noted, however, that this is still a
volume index. Secondly, this new index has been computed using 2002 as the new base period.
This implies that care has to be taken when making comparisons between the new and old index..
The establishments covered are those employing five or more persons. They are largely located in
the industrial belt of the country, which includes the districts of Mbarara, Bushenyi, Kasese,
Masaka, Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, Jinja, Bugiri, Tororo and Mbale. A few establishments in the
districts of Hoima and Masindi are also covered.
In the compilation of the index, the manufacturing sector is divided into eight groups:
• Food Processing which includes grain milling, bakeries, sugar and jaggery, and the
processing of tea, coffee, meat, fish, dairy products and other foods as well as
manufacture of animal feeds;
• Beverages and Tobacco;
• Textile, Clothing, Leather and Footwear;
• Timber, Paper and Printing;
• Chemicals, Paint, Soap and Foam Products;
• Bricks and Cement;
• Metal Products; and
• Miscellaneous group, which includes manufacturing of vehicle accessories, plastic
products and electrical products.
In this index, the Food Processing group has the biggest weight, of 400, followed by Beverages &
Tobacco, and the Chemicals, Paint, Soap & Foam Products groups with weights of 201 and 97
respectively. The new weights add up to 1,000 as shown in Table 3.3.1 below.
Table 3.3.1 shows annual averages of the IoP at group level and All Items for the period of 2004 –
2008. It also indicates that the All Items Index increased by 15.0 percent from 2006 to 2007. The
index recorded a decrease of 1.3 percent in 2008. This was largely due to a combined decrease in
production in food processing, drinks and tobacco, textiles and chemicals groups. For all the
groups that registered an increase in 2007, the Drinks and Tobacco group had the highest
increase, of about 25.8 percent.

The Producer Price Index for Manufacturing (PPI-M) measures changes in prices received by
producers for their outputs. The index measures price changes for goods sold in the local market
and those that are exported. The index is expressed in three levels, that is PPI-M (Local), PPI-M
(Exports) and PPI-M (Combined). These price changes measured are factory gate prices that
exclude taxes but include subsidies. The index reflects price trends of a constant basket of goods
that represent the output of selected business establishments.
The coverage of the PPI-M has been restricted to businesses in the manufacturing sector. The
structure of the PPI-M is such that goods produced for the local market represent 79.0 percent as
opposed to 21.0 percent for goods produced for the export market.
The index is presented in eight broad manufacturing industry groups thus:
• Food Processing (includes meat, fish, oil, dairy, coffee, grain milling, animal feeds,
bakery, tea and sugar);
• Drinks and Tobacco
• Textiles, Clothing and Footwear
• Paper Products
• Chemicals, Paint, Soap and Foam products
• Bricks and Cement
• Metals and Related products
• Miscellaneous (includes Plastics and Furniture)
3.4.1 PPI-M (Combined) Annual Changes
The PPI-M (Combined) recorded the highest increase of 21.2 percent in 2008, due to increased
prices in all industry groups. Significant changes were registered in the Chemicals, Paint, Soap &
Foam Products, in Metal Products and in Food Processing (34.5, 33.7, and 22.5 percent
respectively). On Financial Year basis, the highest increase of 13.4 percent in the last three
financial years was registered in 2007/08. Significant changes were registered in Chemicals,
Paint, Soap & Foam Products, in Bricks & Cement and in Metal Products (25.4, 20.2 and 16.7
percent respectively) as shown in Table 3.4 A.

3.5 Energy
The energy sector in Uganda comprises of both traditional and conventional energy sources that
are either locally produced or imported. The convential energy sources that are in use in the
country include petroleum products and renewable energy. However, the dominant locally
produced energy sources at both the supply and demand levels are fuel wood and charcoal.
3.5.1 Petroleum products sales
Fig. 3.5.1 below shows the volume of petroleum products sold and the annual percentage changes
in sales. The trend of petrol sales has shown a large increase between 2007 and 2008 of
approximately 30.5 percent. Diesel consumption shows a similar increase of 10.8 percent in 2008
from the 2007 level, as a result of both public and private generators supplementing power
shortages in the country. Similarly, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) sales have shown a larger
increase of 13.7 percent, possibly due to the high electricity tariff rates, many households are
switching to LPG for cooking. However, aviation fuel and heavy fuel oil consumptions show a
decrease in 2008 with aviation fuel showing a larger decline of 51.9 percent.

3.6 Building and Construction
3.6.1 Construction
Dwelling places, business establishments and social service delivery centres for education, health,
among others all require buildings. Another construction dimension covers roads which are a major
channel for transport and marketing of both inputs and outputs from production.
3.6.1.1 Construction Sector Indices (CSI): Definition
The Construction Sector Price Indices are numbers that show the relative level of prices in
construction sector relative to the base period. They measure the cost of a given basket of
construction goods and services, relative to their cost in the base period. The first quarter (i.e.,
January-March) of 2006 is the base period for the CSI. The numbers in other periods therefore
indicate the level of prices relative to this period.
3.6.1.2 CSI Composition
CSI is composed of basic heading and composite indices. Basic headings (inputs) are the smallest
sets of goods or services for which the index numbers are compiled. They are the components
used to build up composite indices which are referred to as sub-sector indices of the whole sector.
Each basic heading covers a reasonably homogeneous set of goods or services which include
materials, labour and equipment. For example, items within a basic heading are likely to be made
from the same material. A list of basic headings is given in Statistical Appendix Table 3.6B.
3.6.1.3 Annual Changes
Annual changes show that prices in the overall Construction sector rose by 15.2 percent in 2008.
However, the main sub-sectors (Residential, Non-Residential and Civil works) had varied price
changes. Civil works had the highest annual increase of approximately 19.5 percent in 2008.
The changes in the prices of the inputs into both Residential and Non-Residential Sub-sectors
show that prices rose by an average of approximately 14 percent for each sub-sector in 2008. (See
Appendix Table 3.6 A).
52
3.6.2 Cement Consumption
This section presents data and information on cement imports and local production and the net
domestic consumption in the country for the period 2004 to 2008. The data provide a useful
indicator of the level of construction activity in the country. Given the complexity that is experienced
in the measurement of the volume of construction in a given period, quite often the consumption of
cement is used as a proxy to show the trend of the volume of construction works.
Table 3.6.1 shows that, cement consumption decreased by 3.3 percent in 2008 despite the
significant increase of 19.8 percent in local production which was more than offset by the 247.5
percent increase in exports.

3.6.3 Building Statistics
Building statistics has continued to be collected from 14 Municipal Councils. Complete data is in
the category of Plans Submitted, Plans Approved and Permits Issued. Hence, data and information
provided refer to the capital city (Kampala) and the eight municipalities. The municipalities are
Entebbe, Fort Portal, Jinja, Tororo, Gulu, Lira, Mbale and Soroti.
Figures 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 3.6.3 show the number of Plans Submitted to the nine Municipal Councils
for approval, for the period 2004 to 2008. The three graphs show that residential structures form
the largest number in terms of Plans Submitted, Plans Approved and Permits issued during the
2004 -2008. On average about 55 percent of plans submitted by the Municipalities in the year 2008
were of residential category and 27 percent in the category of commercial as compared to 2007.

3.7.2 Communication
The Telecommunications industry has, over the years, continued to experience substantial
increases in the number of both cellular and fixed telephone subscribers. By the end of December
2008, the number of telephone connections had risen to 8,723,345, with 8,554,864 of the lines
being cellular and 168,481 fixed. The number of cellular phone subscribers increased by more than
three million between 2007 and 2008. This represents a 65.7 percent growth and a representation
of about three (3) telephone lines per ten (10) residents by the end of 2008 as shown in Table 3.7.2
below. (See also Statistical Appendix Table 3.7 B)
Considerable usage growth has been recorded in regard to international outgoing traffic from 88
million minutes in 2007 to 135 million minutes in 2008. This growth is attributed to innovative
campaigns, promotional offers and marketing strategies by the four existing telephone operators
which include Uganda Telecom, MTN, Zain, and Warid. The total talk time (traffic) increased from
3,005 million minutes in 2007 to 4,269 million minutes in 2008 registering a 42.1 percent increase.

4 Macroeconomic Statistics
4.1 National accounts
This section presents statistics on the series of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the
Expenditure on GDP, by production and expenditure approaches. It also presents statistics on the
Balance of Payments (BoP). Some revisions have been made on the figures that were previously
published in the 2008 Statistical Abstract. Note that additional information is given in the Statistical
Appendix Tables 4.1 A to 4.1 P.
4.1.1 Gross Domestic Product
In the Financial Year 2007/08 the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) rebased the GDP series
from the 1997/98 base year to 2002 base year. This rebasing exercise involved a complete
revision of, and improvement in, the methodology used for GDP compilation.
During the Financial Year 2008/09 the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at market prices increased
by 7.0 as compared to 9.0 percent growth recorded in the previous year 2007/08. This relatively
high growth rate attained in 2008/09 was mainly due to the good performances in the
manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, construction, and, transport and communications
activities.

Following are brief explanatory notes on tables 4.1 A to 4.1 P in the Statistical Appendix.
4.1.2 Agriculture, forestry and fishing
The agricultural sector output that includes cash crops, food crops, livestock, forestry and fishing
activities grew by 2.6 percent in 2008/09 compared to an increase of 1.3 percent in 2007/08. The
performance of this sector has been partially boosted by the good performance of the forestry and
livestock activities.
The percentage contribution of agriculture, forestry and fishing to the total GDP at current prices
was 23.7 percent in 2008/09.
4.1.2.1 Cash crops
The growing of cash crops activity covers coffee, cotton, cocoa, tea, tobacco, sugarcane and
exported horticulture. In 2008/09 the output of this activity increased by 1.7 percent compared to
the 9.0 percent growth registered in 2007/08.
63
Growth was registered in cotton and sugarcane while declines were registered in tea, coffee and
tobacco.
4.1.2.2 Food crops
The growing of food crops activity is estimated to have grown by 2.9 percent in 2008/09 compared
to a 2.4 percent growth in 2007/08. The improved performance of this activity is attributed to the
normalization of agricultural activities in the northern and north eastern parts of the country as the
former internally displaced persons continued to return to their respective farmlands and opening
up of new farmlands. The resulting increase in output offset the effects of the dry spell and
intermittent rainfall experienced in 2008 in many parts of the north eastern and northern Uganda.
4.1.2.3 Fishing
The fishing activity performance slightly declined further in 2008/09 by 0.1 percent following an
earlier drop of 11.8 percent in 2007/08. Fishing activities have been hampered by the continued
depletion of fish stocks from the lakes as a result of over fishing and use of illegal fishing gears that
end up catching immature fish.
4.1.3 Industry
The industrial sector is estimated to grow by 3.8 percent in 2008/09 down from the 9.1 percent
growth rate for 2007/08.
The percentage contribution of industry to the total GDP at current prices was 24.2 percent in
2008/09. The major activity under industry is construction.
4.1.3.1 Mining and quarrying
There was a remarkable improvement in the performance of mining and quarrying activities during
2008/09. In the year 2008/09 the mining and quarrying activities output increased by 9.2 percent
compared to a 3.0 percent growth for 2007/08.
The contribution of the activities in mining and quarrying to total GDP at current prices was the
lowest at 0.3 percent in 2008/09.
4.1.3.2 Manufacturing
The preliminary estimates indicate that total manufacturing grew by 7.2 percent in 2008/09 as
compared to a 7.6 percent growth for 2007/08. This growth was mainly attributed to the good
performance of formal manufacturing which grew by 8.3 percent in 2008/09.
The contribution of manufacturing to the total GDP at current prices was at 7.5 percent in 2008/09.
4.1.3.3 Electricity Supply
Electricity output is estimated to increase by 4.2 percent in 2008/09. This is mainly due to the
inclusion of Kakira Sugar Works generated power on the national grid. The contribution of
electricity supply to the total GDP at current prices was 1.7 percent in 2008/09.
64
4.1.3.4 Water Supply
Water output is estimated to grow by 4.1 percent in 2008/09 up from a growth of 3.8 percent in
2007/08. The growth in this activity is mainly due to the increased investments in the sector and the
expansion of water supply.
Water supply contribution to the total GDP at current prices was 2.4 percent in 2008/09.
4.1.3.5 Construction
The Construction activities cover public and private construction. The output from this activity grew
by 2.2 percent in 2008/09 compared to the 10.8 percent growth for 2007/08.
In 2008/09 construction had a share of 12.3 percent of the total GDP at current prices.
4.1.4 Services
The services sector grew by 9.4 percent in 2008/09 compared to 10.2 percent growth in 2007/08.
The major contributors to this growth were the financial services, and transport and communication
which grew by 21.1 percent and 20.0 percent respectively in 2008/09. With a contribution of 46.4
percent services contributed almost half of the total GDP at current prices in 2008/09.
4.1.4.1 Wholesale and retail trade; repairs
Wholesale, retail trade and repairs activities are estimated to grow by 7.6 percent in 2008/09 down
from a 14.7 percent growth in 2007/08.
Wholesale and retail trade and repairs contributed 12.2 percent to the total GDP at current prices in
2008/09.
4.1.4.2 Hotels and restaurants
Hotels and restaurants activities grew by 7.9 percent in 2008/09 compared to the growth rate of
10.7 percent in 2007/08.
Hotels and restaurants contributed 4.2 percent to the total GDP at current prices in 2008/09.
4.1.4.3 Transport and communications
The output of transport and communication activities were estimated to have increased by 20.0
percent in 2008/09 compared to an increase of 21.3 percent in 2007/08.
Road, rail and water transport activities are estimated to grow by 12.4 percent in 2008/09
compared to a growth rate of 20.8 percent in 2007/08. Road freight transport output is mainly
driven by the wholesale and retail trade activities. A growth in the latter is therefore reflected in the
road, rail and water transport trends.
The posts and telecommunications activities registered a growth rate of 32.2 percent in 2008/09
which is higher than the 22.6 percent growth rate achieved in 2007/08.
The contribution of the transport and communication activities to the total GDP at current prices in
2008/09 was 6.8 percent.
65
4.1.4.4 Financial Services
This includes activities of commercial banking, the Central Bank, insurance, foreign exchange
bureaus and other activities auxiliary to financial intermediation. The financial services were
previously included in the miscellaneous category in the old structure of the GDP by activity tables.
In the preliminary GDP estimates, the financial service activities registered a growth rate of 21.1
percent in 2008/09 compared to a 24.1 percent growth achieved in 2007/08.
This sector contributed 3.5 percent to the total GDP at current prices in 2008/09.
4.1.4.5 Real estate activities
Real estate activities include rental and owner occupied outputs which grew by 5.7 percent in
2008/09 slightly higher than the growth rate of 5.6 percent that was attained in 2007/08.
The contribution of these activities to the total GDP at current prices in 2008/09 was 6.2 percent.
4.1.4.6 Other business services
The Other business service activities comprise of all other business activities that were classified
under miscellaneous (excluding finance) in the old GDP tabulation. Such activities include renting
of transport equipment, machinery and other equipment, household and other personal goods, and
data processing and computer related consultancy. Other activities included are: research and
experimental development, legal, accounting, book keeping and auditing, tax consultancy,
business and management consultancy activities, architectural and engineering activities including
consultancy, investigation and security activities, photographic activities and other business
services.
With a contribution of 1.6 percent to the total GDP at current prices in 2008/09, the other business
service activities are estimated to increase by 8.8 percent in 2008/09 which is lower than the 14.3
percent growth for 2007/08.
4.1.4.7 Community services
These services include public administration and defence, education and health.
Public administration grew by 4.7 percent in 2008/09, down from a 13.3 percent change recorded
for 2007/08. Public administration contributed 2.9 percent of the total GDP at current prices in
2008/09.
Education activities registered a growth of 4.8 percent in 2008/09. This was a recovery from the 6.5
percent decline recorded for 2007/08. The sector contributed 5.6 percent to the total GDP at
current prices in 2008/09.
Health activities grew by 8.1 percent in 2008/09, compared to a 4.8 percent decline in 2007/08.
The contribution of these activities to the total GDP however remains relatively low at only 1.1
percent in 2008/09.
4.1.4.8 Other personal and community services
Other personal and community service activities include services of theatres, cinemas, dry
cleaning, houseboys and house girls, barbers and beauty shops.
66
These activities grew by 12.3 percent in 2008/09 which was lower than the 12.8 percent growth in
2007/08. Other personal and community service activities contributed 2.2 percent to the total GDP
at current prices in 2008/09.
4.1.4.9 FISIM
Financial Intermediation Services Indirectly Measured (FISIM) is the difference between interest
income received and interest paid by the commercial banks. It therefore portrays the changes in
the net interest income of the commercial banks.
In 2008/09 FISIM is estimated to increase by 14.3 percent with a contribution of -2.0 percent of the
total GDP at current prices.
4.1.5 Expenditure on Gross Domestic Product
4.1.5.1 Private consumption expenditure
An increase of 10.5 percent in real terms was estimated for household final consumption
expenditure in 2008/09, compared to an increase of 5.2 percent in 2007/08. Its share of the total
GDP at current prices also increased from 76.2 percent in 2007/08 to 80.3 percent in 2008/09.
4.1.5.2 Government consumption expenditure
Government final consumption expenditure in real terms increased by 9.6 percent in 2008/09
compared to a 2.2 percent decrease in 2007/08.
The share of government final consumption expenditure of the total GDP at current prices in
2008/09 was 10.1 percent down from an 11.0 percent share for 2007/08.
4.1.5.3 Gross capital formation
Gross fixed capital formation is estimated to have grown by 9.2 percent in 2008/09 compared to a
growth of 6.5 percent in 2007/08. The gross fixed capital formation contributed 21.7 percent to the
total GDP at current prices in 2008/09 which share was split between construction with a 15.9
percent share, and machinery and equipment with a 5.8 percent share of the total GDP.
4.1.5.4 Exports of goods and service
Exports of goods and services grew by 13.2 percent in 2008/09. This sector contributed 21.3
percent to the total GDP at current prices in the same period with goods and service exports
contributing 17.6 percent and 3.6 percent of the total GDP respectively.
4.1.5.5 Imports of goods and services
Imports of goods and services are estimated to increase from Uganda shillings 5,294 billion in
2007/08 to Uganda shillings 6,514 billion in 2008/09, an increase of 23.0 percent. The share of
imports of goods and services of the total GDP in 2008/09 was -33.7 percent.
4.1.6 GDP by expenditure at 1 digit level basic heading
Table 4.1 N gives GDP by expenditure at one digit basic heading level. This table is a summary of
the 200 basic headings of expenditure on GDP, necessary for the computation of the Purchasing
67
Power Parities (PPPs). This breakdown gives the weights used in the International Comparison
Programme (ICP) for PPP computations. The total expenditure on GDP at current prices in 2008
was shilling 28.1 trillion.
In 2008 the individual consumption expenditure by households (24.1 trillion shillings) is

approximately 85.9 percent of the total expenditure on GDP. The biggest portion of the individual
consumption expenditure by households was on food and non-alcoholic beverages (9.3 trillion
shillings), followed by housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels (4.7 trillion shillings). The
second largest component of the basic heading level one grouping expenditure series in 2008 was
gross fixed capital formation (20.1 percent of the total expenditure). The balance of exports and
imports contributed to -4.1 trillion shillings.
4.1.7 Balance of payments
The overall balance of payments projected for 2008/09 revealed a deficit of 43.2 million US dollars
in 2008/09 compared to a surplus of 691.0 million US dollars in 2007/08.
4.1.7.1 Current account
The current account continued to worsen from a deficit of 482.9 million US dollars in 2007/08 to a
deficit of 1,102.3 million US dollars in 2008/09. The deficit was mainly due to the negative trade
balance and big deficits on services and income accounts.
4.1.7.2 Trade balance
The trade balance worsened from a deficit of 912.6 million US dollars in 2007/08 to a deficit of
1,353.7 million US dollars in 2008/09. The deficit in 2008/09 is mainly due to the low value of
export earnings, estimated at only 2,811.6 million US dollars, compared to the high value of
imports, projected at 4,165.3 million US dollars in 2008/09.
4.1.7.3 Services and income
The net inflow of services and income for the year 2008/09 was projected at negative 1,035.8
million US dollars compared to negative 844.6 million US dollars in 2007/08. The service account
and income account were projected at negative 656.7 million US dollars and negative 379.1 million
US dollars respectively for 2008/09.
4.1.7.4 Capital and financial account
The capital and financial account was projected to increase by 1,059.1 million US dollars in
2008/09 compared to US dollars 1,173.9 million realized in 2007/08, a decrease of 9.8 percent.

4.2 External Trade
This section presents a summary of external trade statistics on imports and exports, in value and
quantity, based on actual flow of goods as recorded by the Customs Department of the Uganda
Revenue Authority (URA) and augmented by Non-URA sources. The section further presents the
direction of trade in goods with respect to Uganda and the rest of the world. In this section
Uganda’s trading partners have been classified according to continent, regional blocs and selected
individual countries.
The compilation of external trade statistics from 2004 onwards was based on the General Trade
System. Also, the recording of commodities follows the Harmonised Coding and Description
System commonly known as the HS nomenclature and the Standard International Trade
Classification (SITC) nomenclature.
4.2.1 Trade balance
Despite increases in the exports earnings during the year 2008, the country has continued to
experience an unfavourable trade balance. From Table 4.2.1, the trade deficit has more than
doubled from US $ 1,061.1 million in 2004 to US $ 2,801.6 million in 2008. This is attributed to
exports that increased at a lower pace than could off-set the imports expenditure bill. During 2008
the exports revenue increased by 29.0 percent compared to the imports bill of 29.5 percent.
The widening unfavourable trade balance could be attributed to the continued exportation of
unprocessed agricultural products which form the bulk of Uganda’s exports.
The government has continuously pursued market diversification strategies and export base
widening and more effort has been directed towards processing of specific crops that have
previously contributed considerably to the total export value of Coffee, Tea, tobacco, Cotton, Maize
and fish. These commodities have been targeted under the National Export Strategy (NES) for
value addition which could improve on the foreign exchange earnings.

2008 figures are provisional
BOP figures includes estimates of unrecorded trade which are excluded from the above table
Figure 4.2.1 below show that both imports and exports maintained an upward trend with the
highest values registered in 2008. The trade balance on the other hand, continued to deteriorate,
reaching its worst levels in 2008. This has been the trend for the last decade, which calls for strong
value addition and quality control by observing Phyto-sanitary regulations to increase on foreign
exchange earning in order to reverse the unfavourable trade balance.

4.2.2 Exports
The exported commodities are categorised into Traditional Exports (TE) and Non-Traditional
Exports (NTE). The traditional exports include Coffee, Cotton, Tea and Tobacco while Non-
Traditional Exports (NTE) includes commodities other than the four listed above.
The contribution of TE to total exports foreign exchange earnings started to decline in 2005 when
their share dropped from 36.8 percent in 2004 to 32.9 percent in 2005, but stabilised at about 30
percent in the last 3 years as shown in table 4.2C. However, in 2008 there was a marginal increase
of 0.8 percent compared to the previous year. This could be attributed to the increased value
fetched by coffee as compared to the other crops in the TE category. Also, the quantities exported
for coffee, tea, and tobacco increased significantly in 2008 except for cotton which registered a
more than 50 percent decline in the quantity exported.
For the period under review, coffee remained the main foreign exchange earner for the country. Its
contribution to the total export earnings increased from 19.9 percent in 2007 to 23.4 percent in
2008. This could be accounted for by the increased volume of coffee exported of 200,640 tones
which fetched US $ 403.2 million in 2008 as compared to 164,540 tones valued at US $ 265,853
million as shown in tables 4.2 A and 4.2 B.
Tobacco and tea also registered some increases in the volume and value exported. Although the
volume of tobacco increased considerably from 26,384 tones in 2007 to 29,042 tones in 2008 its
value increased marginally from US $66.3 million in 2007 to US $66.5 million 2008. On the other
hand, whereas the volume of tea exported increased, its value reduced due to low prices for tea on
the world market.
The contribution of the NTE to the total export earnings stabilised in 2006 and 2007 at 70.1
percent, while in 2008, the share declined marginally to 69.3 percent. The decline in NTEs was felt
more in fish and maize whose shares dropped. The decline in fish share could be attributed to the
70
reduction in the volume exported and closure of some fish factories. For instance, the contribution
of fish and fish products alone to the total foreign exchange earnings reduced from 9.3 percent in
2007 to 7.2 percent in 2008.
Despite considerable decline in fish exports, it remained as the highest foreign exchange earner
under the NTE category and ranked second after coffee. The other NTEs that contributed
significantly to the total export earnings were; maize with 1.1 percent, roses and cut flowers (1.7
percent), cocoa beans (1.3 percent), cobalt (1.2 percent), soap (1.0 percent) and hides and skins
with 0.7 percent. It should be noted that the reduction in the contribution for maize could be
attributed to increased trade in informal maize exports. Meanwhile, for hides and skins the taxes
imposed by government to discourage exportation of raw hide and skins before value addition and
under declaration could have reduced the export earnings and volume exported.
4.2.2.1 Direction of trade
COMESA and the European Union (EU) member states remained the major destinations for
Uganda’s exports. From table 4.2 H, COMESA region registered the highest market share of 42.1
percent in 2008 as compared to 37.9 percent in 2007. This was followed by the European Union
whose market share increased slightly from 24.3 percent in 2007 to 26.7 percent in 2008.
Meanwhile, Asia market accounted for 5.7 percent and the Middle East saw a significant reduction
in its market share to 8.1 percent in 2008 compared to 14.3 percent registered in 2007. The drastic
fall in the value of exports to the Middle East could be explained by increased market share for the
COMESA region.
The value of exports to COMESA increased remarkably by 43.2 percent from US $ 506.5 million in
2007 to US $ 725.2 million in 2008 (see table 4.2 G). Among the COMESA partner states that
registered remarkable increase was Sudan accounting for the highest share of 14.3 percent. It was
followed by Kenya (9.5 percent), Rwanda (7.9 percent) and the D. R. Congo with (7.2 percent).
The figures show a significant shift from past trends where Kenya took the lead as the main export
destination
The total export value to the EU region increased from US $ 324.4 million in 2007 to US $ 460.2
million in 2008. This led to a shift in market shares from 24.3 percent to 26.7 percent in 2007 and
2008 respectively. The Countries that contributed to this increment were United Kingdom (6.9
percent), Netherlands (4.7 percent), Germany (4.4 percent) and Belgium with 3.7 percent (see
table 4.2 H).
On the other hand, exports to the Middle East, Asia, and North America were valued at US $139.1
million, US $ 98.2 million and US $ 19.8 million in 2008 respectively.
The Other African countries outside COMESA region that contributed significantly to Uganda’s
foreign exchange earning included Tanzania, Congo BR and South Africa whose market shares
stood at 1.8 percent, 1.3 percent and 0.9 percent respectively.
4.2.3 Imports
The Asian continent maintained its position as the leading source for Uganda’s imports. In 2008,
the share of the imports bill to the Asian countries increased marginally to 34.8 percent from 33.6
percent during 2007. The total expenditure bill to the region in 2008 was US $1,574.0 million as
compared to US $ 1,175.0 million in 2007. The main countries that contributed significantly were
India, China, Japan and Malaysia with market shares estimated at 10.4 percent, 8.1 percent, 5.9
percent and 3.2 percent respectively.
The import bill for the African continent grew from US $803.3 million in 2007 to US $971.6 million in
2008. However, in terms of proportion to the overall imports bill, its market share reduced from 23.0
percent to 21.5 percent in 2008. Countries that were among the major sources of imports to
71
Uganda were Kenya (11.3 percent), South Africa (6.7 percent) and Tanzania with 1.2 percent
market share.
During the year 2008, a total of US $878.0 million was spent on imports from the European Union.
The Union ranked third after the African continent although with a slight reduction in the market
share recorded at 19.4 percent as compare to 20.5 percent in 2007 (refer to tables 4.2 D and 4.2
M).
Overall, the imports expenditure bill increased from US $3,495.4 million in 2007 to US $ 4,525.9
million in 2008. The products that accounted for this increment included petroleum products (18.5
percent), road vehicles (7.5 percent), iron and steel (6.8 percent) telecommunications and sound
recording apparatus, and, medical and pharmaceutical products; see tables 4.2 E and 4.2 F.
4.2.4 The Informal Cross Border Trade Survey (ICBT)
This section presents findings and analysis of survey results in line with the survey objectives. The
indicators derived from the survey data include levels of imports and exports. The section also
includes information on trade balance, direction of trade, comparative values of recorded and
unrecorded trade in informally imported and exported commodities. The results for 2008 are
estimates based on eleven months of border monitoring with June excluded. In each month, two
weeks were monitored continuously while the remaining two were estimated.
4.2.4.1 Informal trade flows, 2005-2008
From Table 4.2.2 below, Uganda’s informal (unrecorded) export earnings in 2008 were estimated
at US $ 1.3 billion compared to US$ 776.5 million recorded in 2007. During 2008, informal exports
increased substantially by 69.4 percent on account of goods mainly destined to Southern Sudan.
Meanwhile, informal imports were estimated at US $ 73.5 million in 2008 compared to US $ 57.2
million in 2007. Informal imports increased by 28.4 percent in 2008. The increase in informal
imports was on account of increased imports from Kenya and Rwanda. The informal imports are
still low compared to exports due to the vigilance of the tax authorities to collect duties on all
imported goods, even on small items. Apart from hides and skins, other informal exports do not
attract any taxes.
Overall, Uganda recorded a trade surplus of US $ 1.2 billion in 2008 compared to US $ 719.3
million in 2007. These developments underscore the comparative advantage Uganda enjoys within
the Eastern Africa region on commodity exports.

4.2.4.2 Direction of Trade
In 2008, Sudan remained the main final destination for Uganda’s informal exports, from which
receipts amounting to US$ 909.9 million were realised compared to the US $ 465.0 million
recorded in the previous year. The resultant trade surplus on informal trade in goods was
estimated at US$ 902.4 million compared to a surplus of US $ 447.7 million recorded in 2007.
During 2007, informal exports to Sudan amounted to US $ 456.4 million (58.8 percent) while the
expenditure on imports was estimated at US $ 8.7 million or 15.1 percent of the total imports. The
increase in trade with Sudan could be attributed to the relative political stability in both Northern
Uganda and Southern Sudan, and, the recovery efforts being pursued by the Government of
Southern Sudan that increased the demand for consumer and producer goods.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) maintained its second position with informal export
earnings estimated at US $ 195.2 million while imports were valued at US $ 19.7 million. This
compares with informal exports and imports estimated at US $ 156.5 million and 18.2 million in
2007 respectively. During 2008, the total informal trade was estimated at US $ 214.8 million with a
trade surplus of US $ 175.5 million.
Kenya ranked third as the final destination of Uganda’s informal exports estimated at US $ 105.8
million with the imports amounting to US $ 39.7 million. In 2008, the total informal trade between
Uganda and Kenya was estimated at US $ 145.6 million with a trade surplus of US $ 66.1 million.
Meanwhile informal exports to Rwanda and Tanzania stood at US $ 53.3 million and US $ 51.7
million respectively. Overall, Uganda recorded a trade surplus with all her neighbours under
informal trade. The above scenario in individual country trade flows is similar to the previous year,
although estimates derived from surveys conducted in 2006, and 2005 showed Kenya and DRC as
the main export destinations of Uganda’s products under informal trade.

(000’ US$)
Country Exports Imports Total Trade Trade Balance

DRC 195,167 19,671 214,838 175,496
Kenya 105,831 39,748 145,579 66,083
Rwanda 53,263 1,137 54,401 52,126
Sudan 909,938 7,504 917,443 902,434

Overall 1,315,936 73,493 1,389,429 1,242,443
As shown in figure 4.2.4.2 below, informal exports to Sudan doubled the main reason being the
increased demand mainly for consumer and industrial goods to meet the ever increasing
population of returnees. The inclusion of Nimule/Bibia crossing point and the bus terminals
(Arua/Juba and Kampala/Juba) improved the recording of Sudan’s trade flows considerably. The
increases in exports to Kenya could be attributed to the increased demand for food items in that
country following the agricultural failure due to drought and electoral violence that displaced a good
number of people in western Kenya.
In 2008, total informal imports into Uganda amounted to US$ 73.5 million, of which, Kenya
accounted for US$ 39.7 million (54 percent). Kenya remained the leading source of Uganda’s
informal imports during the period under review although significant reductions were registered in
2007 on account of the ban on imports of polythene paper which constituted a big proportion of
informal trade.
During 2008, Uganda’s informal imports from all neighbouring countries registered increases with
DRC maintaining its second position after Kenya. Informal imports from Tanzania more than
73
doubled from US $ 2.8 in 2007 to US $ 5.5 million in 2008 while that from Sudan slightly dropped
from US $ 8.7 million in 2007 to US $ 7.5 million in 2008. The increase in trade with neighbouring
countries could be attributed to relative political stability and the liberalized trade regime which has
attracted goods like coffee into the Ugandan market.

4.2.4.3 A Comparison of Formal and Informal Trade Flows, 2005-2008
From Table 4.2.4.3 below, during 2008 Uganda’s informal merchandise exports amounted to US $
1.3 billion compared to formal merchandise exports worth US $ 1.7 billion. This brings the overall
combined (formal and informal) export earnings to US $ 3.0 billion in 2008 compared to US $ 2.1
billion in 2007 indicating an increase of 29.2 percent from both trading arrangements. Meanwhile,
the combined import bill for both informal and formal trade stood US $ 3.6 billion and US $ 4.6
billion in 2007 and 2008 respectively. The overall merchandise trade deficit was estimated at US $
1.5 billion in 2008 compared to a deficit of US $ 1.4 billion recorded in 2007.
Table 4.2.3: Formal and Informal trade flows (000’ US$) from 2005 to 2008
Trade Flow/Years 2005 2006 2007 2008

Informal Exports 200,307 231,741 776,509 1,315,936
Formal/Official Exports 812,857 962,193 1,336,668 1,724,300
Total Exports 1,013,164 1,193,934 2,113,177 3,040,236
Informal Imports 65,872 80,633 57,239 73,493
Formal/Official Imports 2,054,137 2,557,308 3,495,391 4,525,859
Total Imports 2,120,009 2,637,941 3,552,630 4,599,352
Overall Trade balance -1,106,845 -1,444,007 -1,439,453 -1,480,945
74
The proportion of informal exports to overall/total merchandise trade from both trading
arrangements stood at 19.8 percent, 19.4 percent, 36.7 percent and 43.2 percent in 2005, 2006,
2007 and 2008 respectively. On the other hand, the proportion of informal imports to formal imports
was marginal at 3 percent in 2005 and 2006, and reduced to 1.6 percent in both 2007 and 2008.
This underscores the significance of informal export trade to overall merchandise trade whose
share has continued to increase during the period under review.

4.3 Government Finance Statistics
4.3.1 Introduction
Government Finance Statistics (GFS) measure financial activities of government and the impact of
these activities on the sectors in the economy. The statistics enable policy makers and users to
analyse the financial operations and financial position of the public sector at either the level of a
government, institutional sector or set of transactions.
4.3.2 Coverage
The GFS compilation focuses on the General Government sector. This sector consists of the
central government and local government sectors including non-profit institutions that are
controlled and mainly financed by government units. It excludes public corporations or quasi-
corporations.
4.3.3 Government revenue, 2007/08
The FY 2007/08 registered total revenue of Shs. 4,152.5 billion, which was a slight increase of only
0.15 percent from FY 2006/07. Revenue obtained from taxes had the largest share of 81.2
percent, compared to 18.8 percent from non-tax revenue. The non-tax revenue includes: grants,
property income, sale of goods and services, fines and penalties and miscellaneous (including
unidentified revenue (See Table 4.3 B (a).
4.3.4 Central Government recurrent expenditure, 2006/07 and 2007/08
Functional classification of expenditure measures the purpose for which transactions are
undertaken. It is generally used to measure the allocation of resources by government in order to
promote government objectives and various services rendered to the community. There was an
increase in the recurrent expenditure from shs 1,820.2 to shs 2,070.5 billion shillings between FY
2006/07 and 2007/08. General public administration recorded the highest government expenditure
of shs 764.4 billion shillings (36.9 percent). There was a slight reduction the education sector
expenditure from 267.3 to 266.7 billion (-0.2 percent). The highest expenditure increase was in
Agriculture were a 68.1 percentage was recorded. See appendix tables 4.3C (a) and (b).
4.3.5 Local Government recurrent expenditure, 2007/08
The education sector maintained its dominance in local government recurrent expenditure
registering Shs. 423.0 billion in 2007/08. General public administration followed with Shs. 171.9
billion while the health sector spent Shs. 109.1 billion. A large share of the education and health
sectors was attributed to government’s strategy which focuses more on investment in social
service sectors with the aim of increasing levels of employment and incomes (See appendix tables
4.3 J (a) and 4.3 J (b).
76
4.4 Banking and currency
Banking and currency statistics include figures on monetary survey, interest rates, commercial
banks’ assets and liabilities, commercial banks’ outstanding loans and advances to the private
sector, exchange rates and volumes of foreign exchange transactions.
4.4.1 Monetary Survey
As shown in statistical appendix 4.4 A, the monetary survey indicates a 32.7 percent increase in
Net Foreign Assets between June 2007 and June 2008 from Shs 3,835.4 Bill to Shs 5,090.7 Bill.
Unlike the previous financial year which registered a drop in the net total domestic credit of the
banking system, the period between June 2007 and June 2008 registered an increase of 71.4
percent. In the same period, net claims on the Central Government decreased by 29.4 percent,
claims on the private sector increased by 56.1 percent while foreign currency loans to residents

also increased from 9.8 percent to 10.9 percent while all lending rates to Agriculture, Export and
Manufacturing and Commerce increased from 19.4 percent to 20.2 percent in the same period.
(See table 4.4 B)
4.4.3 Commercial banks’ assets and liabilities
Table 4.4 C shows that total assets of commercial banks increased by 39.1 percent from Shs
4,819.5 Bill in June 2007 to Shs 6,705.7 Bill in June 2008. In the same period, Uganda currency
increased from Shs 117.5 Bill to Shs 156.0 Bill, while advances and discount increased from Shs
1,823.4 Bill to Shs 2,850.9 Bill (an increase of 56.4 percent).

In table 4.4 E, local currency commercial banks’ outstanding loans and advances went up from Shs
1,362.3 Bill in June 2007 to Shs 2,100.8 Bill in June 2008. Trade and commerce continued to
register the largest share of the total from 65.5 percent to 67.3 percent in the above period.
77
Table 4.4 F shows that foreign currency commercial banks’ outstanding loans and advances
increased by Shs 240.3 Bill from June 2007 to June 2008. Trade and commerce maintained the
largest share, although a decline from 60.4 percent to 56.5 percent from June 2007 to June 2008.
4.4.5 Annual foreign exchange rates and volumes
Table 4.4 G shows that between the year 2007 and 2008, the inter-bank mid rate appreciated by
less than 1 percent from 1,723.5 to 1,720.40 per US dollar. In the same period, according to table
4.4 H, total purchases of foreign exchange through bureaux and inter-bank increased by 5.8
percent from US $ 8.8 Bill in 2007 to US $ 9.3 Bill in 2008, while sales increased by 8.0 percent
from US $ 8.7 Bill in to US $ 9.4 Bill during the same period.
78
4.5 Insurance

premium supplements, as well as claims paid and outstanding. Also included is the Non-life
business consolidated balance sheet of insurance companies.
4.5.1 Policies issued
Individual, Group, and Deposit Administrative Plan (DAP) are the life insurance policies issued
while, the non-life insurance policies include fire, marine/aviation, motor, and miscellaneous
accidents. The number of life polices issued in 2007 increased by 23.1 percent as compared to the
number of policies issued in 2006. On the other hand, the non-life insurance policies issued
increased by 22.8 percent in 2007 compared to the non-life policies issued in 2006.

From table 4.5 C, life insurance gross premium incomings increased by 93.7 percent between
2006 and 2007. There was a general increase in gross premium incomings in all the categories
although life group recorded the highest.
Life insurance for the reinsurance outgoings category increased from 1,125 million in 2006 to 1,914
million in 2007, an increase of 70.1 percent. The increment was due to increase in the life group
category (see statistical Appendix table 4.5 D).
An increase of 22.0 percent in non-life insurance gross premium incomings was registered in 2007
compared to 2006. Although there was a general increase in the non-life insurance gross premium

as compared to 2006 with exception of fire business category which recorded a drop in 2007 as
compared to 2006.
The life paid and outstanding claims registered an increase of 79.2 percent in 2007 as compared to
2006. The increase was due to the life group as the other categories registered drops. (See
