This was the legal basis for conducting the National Population and Housing Census 2014. The Census 2014 was undertaken under the theme ‘Counting for Planning and Improved Service Delivery’ which is within the framework of the United Nations 2010 Round of Population and Housing Censuses. The Census exercise was implemented by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS), with support from Partner Institutions. I would like to extend the Bureau’s appreciation to the Government of Uganda and Development Partners for providing the necessary resources for undertaking the National Population and Housing Census 2014. I would also like to thank all Partner Institutions that collaborated with the Bureau in carrying out this important statistical exercise. The Bureau is releasing these Provisional Results, based on information from the Summary Sheets compiled by the field staff. These results contain information about the population in all administrative areas down to the Subcounty level. More detailed findings from the Census 2014 will be released in a series of publications over the next two years. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, I would like to thank the National Census Steering Committee for providing the necessary policy guidance in respect to the conduct of the Census. The appreciation also goes to the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, the UBOS Management Team, the Census Management Team, the Census Technical Committee, the District Census Teams and all those who in one way or another participated in the planning and/or implementation of the Census 2014. Special appreciation goes to the Census Field Staff,
