Col. Tom Butime Minister of Local Government The Mandate of the Ministry of Local Government is to guide, harmonize, mentor and advocate for all Local Governments in support of Government’s vision of bringing about socio-economic transformation of the country. The Ministry is responsible for mentoring, compliance inspection and support supervision of Local Governments. In order to fulfil this mandate, quality statistics are required to measure development outcomes, identify development issues, inform policy formulation, and facilitate planning, decision making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the impact of development programmes in the LGs. It is on this basis that the Ministry of Local Government, with support from Uganda Bureau of Statistics, adopted a strategic approach towards managing data and statistics of the Ministry. This necessitated development and implementation of a five year Strategic Plan for Statistics (SPS) covering the period 2015/16 – 2019/20 to act as a building block for the Plan for National Statistical Development (PNSD) framework. The plan is aimed at enhancing data quality and use and comprehensiveness of statistics produced by the ministry. In line with the MoLG-SPS, the Ministry is required to produce an Annual Statistical abstract.The MoLG Statistical Abstract 2018 consolidates data relating to its various output indicators. It is built from various department synthetic reports, Ministerial Policy Statements and from wide consultations with Technical staff. iii Ministry of Local Government (MoLG) Statistical Abstract 2018 It is my expectation that this document will provide a guide and reference to all our stakeholders.

Butime (MP) MINISTER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT iv Ministry of Local Government (MoLG) Statistical Abstract 2018 Acknowledgements The Ministry of Local Government appreciates with gratitude all its staff for their indispensable contribution towards the production and development of this publication.
