It is bordered by Sudan to the north, Kenya to the east, Tanzania to the south, Rwanda to the southwest and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west. It also shares a significant part of Lake Victoria (45% of the shoreline) with Tanzania and Kenya. It has a population of 31.8 million1 and an average annual population growth rate of 3.2%, one of the highest in the world with an average life expectancy of 53 years. The proportion of people living below the poverty line has declined from 56% in 1992 to 31% in 2005/06.2 (23.3% in 2009/10 according to the Uganda National Household Survey (2010). However, there are great disparities between regions with the north suffering considerably more. The impact of two decades of civil war in Acholi and Lango sub regions witnessed great atrocities by the Lord’s Resistance Army which has had a devastating effect and impact on the lives and livelihoods of the people in the area.

  • Nebbi District Local Government
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA NEBBI DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT PRODUCTION AND MARKETING STATISTICAL ABSTRACT FOR FY 2011/2012 By Production Directorate Nebbi District Local Government July, 2012 Foreword The need for agricultural statistics cannot be overstated. It is vital for evidence-based planning and tracking of progress in the sector. Nebbi district production directorate has over the years been engaged in the collection of data at different levels in all the subsectors. However, the data was scattered within the individual departments and local governments and also lacking in some details. Because of this, the directorate undertook an effort to update and consolidate all the existing data/information and publish an Abstract. The information in this Abstract is derived from surveys conducted by the District Production Directorate, District Planning Unit, Records from sub counties, Censuses from UBOS and Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries. The Abstract is divided into seven sections providing information/statistics on the following sectors; crops, livestock/veterinary services, fisheries, entomology (Apiculture), marketing and NAADS and General Information on Nebbi district. We sincerely hope that information in this Abstract will be useful to our stakeholders. Utmost care was taken to compile this information, however, comments from stakeholders on any gaps or vital information that is lacking will be welcomed.
