The timeline for EPI bulletin has been revised. This means that the bulletin will consist of only weekly data that is submitted on time (by Monday midday). Dis- tricts are encouraged to ensure timely reporting to en- hance early detection and prompt response. UNEPI reminds and encourages all the districts to carry out active search for AFP, NNT, EAFI and measles cases in their health facilities and communities. Maternal deaths and perinatal deaths audits should be conducted to address issues surrounding excessive deaths of mothers and newborns especially for Kampa- la region. Partners are urged to support districts that are current- ly affected by outbreaks Source: DHIS2 Annex I: Percentage of reporting per region, Epi week 08, 2020 Data source: DHIS2 Editorial team : Allan Muruta, Carol Kyozira, Godfrey Bwire , David Muwanguzi, Anne.

National Population and Housing Census 2014 Area Specific Profiles – Moyo District FOREWORD Demographic and socio-economic data are useful for planning and evidence-based decision making in any country. Such data are collected through Population Censuses, Demographic and Socio-economic Surveys, Civil Registration Systems and other Administrative sources. In Uganda, however, the Population and Housing Census remains the main source of demographic data, especially at the sub-national level. Population Census taking in Uganda dates back to 1911 and since then the country has undertaken five such Censuses. The most recent, the National Population and Housing Census 2014, was undertaken under the theme ‘Counting for Planning and Improved Service Delivery’. The enumeration for the 2014 Census was conducted in August/September 2014. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) worked closely with different Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as Local Governments (LGs) to undertake the census exercise.
