ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This study was undertaken as one of the key inception activities of the Networks for Peace in Africa Project.

  • Administrative Report: Uganda Census of 1991 INTRODUCTION
    Administrative Report: Uganda Census of 1991 INTRODUCTION The 1991 Population and Housing Census Administrative Report that I now have the pleasure to submit, is the last publication among several reports that mark the completion of the 5th systematic Population Census held in Uganda since 1948 when the first fairly systematic census was carried out. The 1991 Population and Housing Census was the first census in the country to include a fairly detailed survey of the stock and conditions of housing in Uganda. The central concern of this report is to describe in some detail, the trials and tribulations of the administration and management of the 1991 Population and Housing Census. It reveals aspects of successes recorded and problems encountered in the course of managing the three stage activities of the census, namely the pre- enumeration, enumeration and post-enumeration activities. It is our hope that a detailed description of what took place through all these phases will guide future census administrators in this country and help the data users to determine the likely accuracy, of, and strengthen their faith in, the data they are using. The 1991 Population and Housing Census was a result of an agreement between the Government of Uganda and the UNFPA signed in March, 1989 although the idea and negotiations started way back in 1986. For various logistical reasons, the date of enumeration was shifted from August, 1990 to November/December the same year, and finally to January, 1991, which made it close to eleven years from the date of the 1980 census. The census project was funded by the Government of Uganda to the tune of U Shs 2.2 billion and by the UNFPA and UNDP at $5.7 million, DANIDA $ 850,000 and USAID shs.

  • Ethnic and Religious Intergenerational Mobility in Africa∗
    Ethnic and Religious Intergenerational Mobility in Africa∗ Alberto Alesina Sebastian Hohmann Harvard University, CEPR and NBER London Business School Stelios Michalopoulos Elias Papaioannou Brown University, CEPR and NBER London Business School and CEPR September 27, 2018 Abstract We investigate the evolution of inequality and intergenerational mobility in educational attainment across ethnic and religious lines in Africa. Using census data covering more than 70 million people in 19 countries we document the following regularities. (1) There are large differences in intergenerational mobility both across and within countries across cultural groups. Most broadly, Christians are more mobile than Muslims who are more mobile than people following traditional religions. (2) The average country-wide education level of the group in the generation of individuals' parents is a strong predictor of group- level mobility in that more mobile groups also were previously more educated. This holds both across religions and ethnicities, within ethnicities controlling for religion and vice versa, as well as for two individuals from different groups growing up in the same region within a country. (3) Considering a range of variables, we find some evidence that mobility correlates negatively with discrimination in the political arena post indepdence, and that mobility is higher for groups that historically derived most of their subsistence from agriculture as opposed to pastoralism.

  • Uganda: Conflict Assessment Report for the Month of July 2014
    UGANDA: CONFLICT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF JULY 2014 Issue Date: August 5, 2014 Disclaimer This publication was produced for review by the United State Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Supporting Access to Justice, Fostering Equity & Peace (SAFE) Program. The author’s views expressed do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. INTRODUCTION The following is a Monthly Conflict Assessment Report provided by the USAID Supporting Access to Justice, Fostering Equity and Peace (SAFE) Program for July 2014. The SAFE Program conducts monthly conflict assessments to better understand and respond to conflict patterns and trends as they develop throughout Uganda. Information is primarily filtered through SAFE’s trained Conflict Monitors who report on conflict incidents that occur in their communities. SAFE has Conflict Monitors based in West Nile, Acholi, Bunyoro and Karamoja sub regions, Gulu. The information provided by the Conflict Monitors is supplemented with reports issued by the media and civil society organizations (CSOs). The SAFE Program verifies reported incidents for accuracy. For a more detailed description of the monthly conflict assessment methodology, please refer to Appendix A. Seven Categories of conflicts are monitored in the Monthly Conflict Assessment: Land-related conflict Politically-motivated conflict Socio-ethnic conflict Ethnic conflict Conflict motivated by socio-economic issues or poverty Spill over and on-going conflicts that have expanded into new districts/countries Other conflicts that do not fall into the first six categories (see Annex B for the types of conflicts) The conflicts are additionally disaggregated by industry or sector, where relevant (for example, oil and gas, mining, infrastructure, manufacturing, and agriculture).
