 FOREWORD
The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) is committed to the production and dissemination of integrated
statistical information that meet the National and International standards quality requirements. Specifically,
indicators are required for monitoring the progress towards achieving the goals for the National Development
Plan II, 201516-2019/20 and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This Statistical
Abstract is UBOS’s prime annual publication through which key statistical information derived from the latest
surveys, censuses and administrative records of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) are
disseminated for use in tracking outcomes of policies as well as decision-making.

The information presented in the 2017 Statistical Abstract covers statistics on the Environmental, Demographic,
Socio-economic, Production and Macroeconomic sectors. Information on these sectors is presented basing on
on either a Calendar Year (January-December) or Financial Year (July-June) structure, depending on
availability of data.

The Bureau would like to appreciate the continued cooperation of MDAs and Local Governments in providing
the requisite data to produce this publication. In a special way, I wish to thank the 2017 Statistical Abstract
Committee that compiled this publication. The Bureau welcomes constructive comments from stakeholders that
aim at enhancing the quality of its future publications.

Copies of this publication are available at the Bureau’s Head Office located at Statistics House, Plot 9, Colville
Street, Kampala and the official UBOS website: www.ubos.org.

It is my sincere hope that the statistical information in this publication will be used by the readers to make
informed decisions.

as illness, maternity, parental leave, holiday, training, industrial dispute).

Working poor Individuals forming part of the working population but whose incomes fell below the official
poverty line.
Working poverty rate (WPR) WPR is the proportion of the employed population living in households that are classified
as poor, i.e. their consumption or income levels are below a determined national poverty
line. The direct measurement of the indicator can be expressed as:

Worst Forms of Child Labour According to ILO convention No.182 (1999), the worst forms of child labour include:
(i) Child slavery or practice similar to slavery, such as sale and trafficking of
children, debt bondage and serfdom, use of children in armed conflict;
(ii) Use, procurement and offering of a child for prostitution and
pornography;
(iii) Use of children in illicit activities such as drug trafficking;
(iv) Work that is likely to harm the health, safety and morals of children

Youth For statistical purposes, the United Nations defines youth, as those persons between the
ages of 15 and 24 years, without prejudice to other definitions by Member States. In
practice, however, many national statistics offices apply their own definitions of youth
which often differ from the international standard. In Uganda, a youth is a person aged 18-
30 years.

ENVIRONMENT STATISTICS

This section presents statistics on Administrative units, land, forestry, climate and water supply.

1.1 Administrative Units

Uganda is stratified into administrative units namely; Districts, Counties, Consitituencies, Sub-Counties,
Parishes and Villages to facilitate service delivery nearer to the people. In total, there are 122 districts as at 1st
July 2017, including Kampala Capital City. Below is a table indicating the number of administrative units at
lower levels by region.

1.2 Land cover

Uganda has an area of 241,550.7 square kilometres (sq.km), of which 41,027.4 sq km are open water and
swamps while 200,523.2 sq km is land. The altitude above sea level ranges from 620 metres Above Sea
Level (ASL) on the Albert Nile to 5,111 metres ASL (Mt. Rwenzori peak). Uganda shares Lake Victoria
with Kenya and Tanzania and Lakes Albert and Edward with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Within its boundaries are lakes Wamala, Bunyonyi, Katwe, Nakivale, Mburo, Kyoga, George and Bisina.

Both the eastern and western borders of Uganda are marked by mountains. The Ruwenzori Mountains
(often called the Mountains of the Moon) form about eighty kilometers of the border between Uganda and
the Congo Democratic Republic (DRC). In eastern Uganda, the border with Kenya is marked by volcanic
hills including Mount Elgon (4,324 meters ASL). In the north-east, there is Mount Moroto (3,085 meters
ASL). Besides, the Imatong Mountains (3,029 meters ASL), mark the border with South Sudan.

Land area estimates for 2015 by type of cover as updated from the Remote Sensing Survey (RSS)
indicated that agricultural land occupies the largest proportion of land cover area (43 percent), followed by
grassland (21 percent) and then water (15 percent) as shown in Figure 1.1 and Table 1.2:

Water, 15.3

Impediment, 0.0
Agriculture, 43.6

Grassland, 21.1

Forest, 8.1 Builtup area, 0.6

Bush land, 8.2

Land areas for grasslands and water bodies remained the same between 1990 and 2015. However, the
land area for grasslands increased by 3.9 percent in 2010 while that for water bodies reduced by one
percent over the same period. Area under forest has significantly been decreasing since 1990. It
decreased by 46.7 percent between 2005 and 2015. Land area for agriculture increased by 12.4 percent
between 1990 and 2000, and by 4.7 percent between 2000 and 2005. It however increased by 5.6 percent
between 2005 and 2015.

2
Notably, the built-up area increased by 40 percent between 2010 and 2015. Land area for bush lands also
deccreased by 17 percent in the same period. The changes are illustrated in Figure 1.2 while the data is
presented in Table 1.2 and Statistical Appendix Table 1.2A to C.

1.3.1 Forests Cover

In 2010, Uganda had a total of 2.6 million hectares of forest land compared to 4.9 million hactares in 1990.
This is a reduction of 46.9 percent over a period of 20 years. As a proportion, in 1990, forest covered 20.4
percent of the land area of the country. Table 1.2 gives the forest cover areas and changes between 1990,
2005 and 2010.

In 2005, Uganda had a total of 3.6 million hectares of forest land compared to 4.9 million hectares in 1990. This
is a reduction of 27.1 percent over a period of 15 years. Table 1.2 above shows that the total deforestation rate
per year (between 1990 and 2005) was 1.8 percent, while that between 2005 and 2010 was 5.4 percent.

1.3.2 Local and Central Forest Reserves

The proportion of land under Central Forest Reserve (CFR) was higher than the Local Forest
Reserve (LFR) in all the regions as established through the National Bio-mass Study, 2005.
Eastern region had the largest proportion under LFR (2.6 percent) while Western Region had the
lowest proportion (0.1 percent).

1.4.2 Temperature
The mean daily maximum temperatures for the different months at the six different regional centres were
generally highest at the beginning of the year (January to March) but declined gradually in April and May of
2016. Between June and December, the temperature kept rising and falling though below those experienced in
the first three months. Entebbe experienced the lowest mean maximum temperature while Kasese had the
highest mean maximum temperature in the same year as seen in Figure 1.4(a) below and Appendix Table
1.4(c).

1.5 Water Supply

1.5.1 Metered water

National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) remains the main provider of metered water in
Uganda. It had a capacity utilisation of 71.3 percent as a result of an average production of 244,550 m3
per day from a practical capacity of 343,196 m3 per day in 2013. In 2014/15, NWSC operated in 43 towns,
which was an increment of about 9.3 percent from the 39 towns in 2013/14 (Statistical Appendix Table 1.5A).
During the 2015/16, water production was 105.5 million cubic metres compared to 99.6 million cubic
metres produced in the 2014/15 hence an increment of about 5.9 percent. Lyantonde and Kyotera registered
the highest increments in water production of more than 100 percent. Out of the 105.5 million cubic metres
produced in 2015/16, 97.3 percent (102.8 million m3) was supplied: of which, 73.9 million m3 was sold,
implying a billing efficiency of 70.1 percent (Statistical Appendix Table 1.5C).

1.5.2 Unmetered water

The Directorate of Water Development (DWD) also supplies water especially in the rural areas and small
towns through the provision of boreholes and other safe water sources. Over the years, there has been
increase and decrease in the amount of water supplied by DWD. There was a reduction in water supply
from 2.6 million cubic metres in 2014/15 to 0.47 million cubic metres in 2015/2016 (see Figure 1.5). This is
mainly attributed to the delay by some centres in reporting. In addition, supply in some town council has
been taken over by NWSC.

DEMOGRAPHIC STATISTICS

2.1 Population

2.1.1 Population Trends

Figure 2.1.1 shows that, the population increased from 9.5 million in 1969 to 34.6 million in 2014. Between
2002 and 2014, the population increased from 24 million to about 35 million representing an average annual
growth rate of 3.0 percent. The population is projected to be 37.7 million by Mid-year 2017.

Figure 2.1.1: Census population, 1969 - 2014 and Projected Mid-Year Population, 2016 and 2017

Furthermore, the current population growth rate declined from 3.2 percent in 2002 to 3.0 percent in 2014, with
an average annual increase of about one million persons. The highest average annual growth rate (3.9
percent) was observed during the intercensal period between 1959 and 1969.

2.1.2 Population of Special Interest Age Groups
Table 2.1.2 shows that, the highest proportion of Uganda’s population is young (under 18 years) constituting
more than half (55 percent) of the population in 2014. It increased from 51 percent in 1969 to 56 percent in
2002 and slightly dropped to 55 percent in 2014. One in five persons of the population is of primary school
going age (6-12 years). On the other hand, the proportion of older persons aged 60 years and above
decreased from six percent in 1969 to about four percent in 2014.

2.1.3 Population in Urban Areas

In Uganda, the definition of urban areas has changed over time. The 2002 and 2014 Censuses defined urban
areas as comprising of only gazetted urban areas while in the earlier censuses, both the gazetted and
ungazetted urban areas with more than 1,000 people were considered.

Figure 2.1.3 shows that, the urban population increased from less than one million persons in 1980 to about
2.9 million in 2002, representing a nearly threefold increase and further increased to 7.4 million by 2014. The
higher increase can be attributed to four factors, including; gazetting of new urban areas, natural growth,
redemarcation of the boundaries of selected urban areas and rural - Urban Migration.

2.1.4 Fertility
The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) which refers to the average number of children that would be born alive to a
woman during her lifetime if she were to pass through her childbearing years conforming to the age-specific
fertility rates of a given period. Figure 2.1.4 shows that the fertility levels in Uganda have declined over time.
The TFR declined from 7 children per woman to 5 children per woman between 1995 and 2016.

Figure 2.1.4: Fertility Trends, 1995- 2016

2.1.5 Mortality
Figure 2.1.5 presents the trend of Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Under Five Mortality from 2000 to 2016.
Infant mortality is the probability of dying between birth and exactly one year of age expressed per 1,000 live
births while Under Five Mortality is the probability of dying between birth and less than five years of age
expressed per 1,000 live births. Infant and Under Five Mortality rates between 2000 and 2016, declined by

15
more than half, dropping from 88 to 43 deaths per 1000 live births and from 152 to 64 deaths per 1,000 live
births respectively.

Figure 2.1.5: Infant and Under Five Mortality Trends, 2000- 2016

2.1.6 Life Expectancy at Birth

Life expectancy at birth is an estimate of the average number of years a person is expected to live if a
particular pattern of mortality is maintained. Table 2.1.3 shows that, overall life expectancy at birth in 2014 was
63.3 years. As expected, males registered a lower life expectancy of 62.2 years compared to their female
counterparts of 64.2 years. Between 2002 and 2014 there was a gain of about 13 years in life expectancy
which could be attributed to the improvement in the childhood mortality rates.

2.2.2.6 Transition Rates to Senior Five

O’ Level Secondary completion rate is computed as the total number of students in the fourth grade of
secondary education divided by the total number of children of official completion age (16 years). It captures
the transition rate from the Ordinary level of secondary to the Advanced level of secondary education. Table
2.2.17 shows that the transition rate to S.5 in 2016 was only 30 percent an increase from 25 percent in 2015.
In both instances, male students were more likely to complete S.4 as well as transition to S.5 compared to their
female counterparts.

2.2.4 Literacy
Literacy is the ability to read and write meaningfully in any language. The literacy rate among persons aged 10
years and above has generally increased over time from 2002 to 2015 with about seven (7) in ten (10) of the
persons literate. Females were found to be more literate than their male counterparts with a literacy rate of 77
in 2002 percent and 66 percent in 2014, respectively.

2.2.5 The National Assessment of Progress in Education (NAPE) competence
scores
The National Assessment of Progress in Education (NAPE) tests for pupils competencies in Literacy and
Numeracy for primary pupils while for secondary students assessment was on Biology, mathematics and
English to determine how well students are learning.
Table 2.2.20 shows an increasing trend in the literacy rate for P.3 pupils although there was a decline from
2014 to 2015 by 4 percent with girls having a higher rate. On the other hand, the P.6 Literacy rate has declined
though a 12 percent increase was observed 2014 to 2015. The Numeracy rate for P.3 pupils reduced
drastically by about nine percent from 2012 to 2013 then increased to 72 percent. However, a notable decline
was observed in the Numeracy rate for P.6 pupils from 46 percent in 2012 to 39 percent in 2016.

At Secondary level, the NAPE scores revealed that 21 percent of the students were proficient in Biology with
more males in 2014 as seen in Table 2.2.21. Only 4 in every 10 students were rated proficient in mathematics,
a five percent decline from 2013. There was however an increase in English proficiency to 49 percent in 2014.

2.3 Labour Market Statistics
Labour market statistics relate to both persons and businesses. This section presents Statistics of
employment, unemployment, economic inactivity, underutilisation, skills, job vacancies, earnings, productivity
and the general demand for labour.

2.3.1 Work and Employment concepts

The 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) held in October 2013, differentiated between
employment and work. The recent definitions have been applied in the analysis of some of the surveys such as
the 2012/13Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS). Therefore, the information presented according to
ICLS 2013 definitions may not be directly comparable with that collected from previous surveys and presented
in earlier Statistical Abstracts.

Under the current definitions, work comprises any activity performed by persons of any sex and age to produce
goods or to provide services for use by others or for own use. The concept of work is aligned with the general
production boundary as defined in the System of National Accounts 2008 (2008 SNA) basing on an economic
unit as, (i) market units, (ii) non-market units and (iii) households producing goods or services for own final use.

2.3.2 Key Labour Market Indicators of Working Population

The distribution of Uganda’s working population according to the UNHS 2012/13 is presented in Table 2.3.1.
Out of the working age population of 16.5 million, the total working population was estimated at 13.9 million of
which 51 percent were female. Among the working population, 6.0 million were in subsistence agriculture.

As presented in Table 2.3.2, majority of the working population was residing in the rural areas (77 percent)
while only 23 percent were staying in the urban areas. The regional disaggregation of the population shows the
Eastern region as having the highest proportion of the working population (28 percent), while the Northern
region had the lowest. Kampala City had four percent of the working population. Overall, the working
population increased by 26 percent between the 2009/10 UNHS and 2012/13 UNHS surveys.

2.3.3 Industry of the main job for the working population

The 2012/13 Uganda National Household Survey revealed that agriculture employs the highest percentage of
the working population (72 percent). The proportion was higher for females (77 percent) than males (67
percent), see Table 2.3.3. Trading activity was the second most prominent industry where the working
population was estimated at 10 percent. The trend was similar in comparison with the UNHS 2009/10 and
UNHS 2012/13 survey periods.

2.3.4 Key Labour Market Indicators of Employed Population
According to UNHS 2012/13, the total employed population was estimated at 7.9 million people which is 48
percent of the working age population as indicated in Table 2.3.4. The difference with the working population
presented in Table 2.3.2 is about 6.0 million persons depicting existence of a high number of subsistence
workers particularly in the Agriculture sector.

The findings presented in Appendix Table 2.3.A indicate that the Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) was
52.8. The overall Unemployment Rate (UR) was 9.4 percent in 2012/13 with the females experiencing higher
unemployment rate (11 percent) than males (8 percent). The time related underemployment rate was about 8.9
percent, skill related inadequate employment was 5.6 percent and the income related inadequate employment
was 12.9 percent.

Figure 2.3.1 indicates that the service sector was dominant for employed persons and constituted about 45
percent. This was followed by those in the primary sector that constituted almost one third (34 percent) of the
employed persons.

Figure 2.3.1: Sector of employment

The findings (Appendix Table 2.3.A) further shows that about 47.4 percent of the population in employment
were paid employees while 52.6 percent were self-employed. Elementary work was the most predominant

28
occupation of the employed population (38 percent) followed by service workers (27 percent) while
professionals accounted for only about 2 percent of the employed population.

The education level of the persons in employment was low with less than one third of the employed persons
(30 percent) having attained either secondary education or post-secondary/primary specialized training.
(Statistical Appendix Table 2.3.B)

2.3.4.1 Labour Underutilisation components

Due to the agrarian nature of Uganda’s economy, the low rates of unemployment are expected. The population
outside the formal labour force are forced to engage in some kind of work even for a few hours and at low
wages especially in the informal sector. Therefore the unemployment rate derived using the international
definition does not provide a real picture of the supply-demand imbalance of the labour market and adequately
reflect the degree of inefficiency that prevails in the labour market. To get a clearer picture of the labour under-
utilisation, the unemployment rate is analysed with other forms of mal-employment; namely, insufficiency of the
volume of work (time related underemployment, low remuneration (low earnings) and incompatibility of
education and occupation (skills mismatch).

The labour underutilisation rate was 20 percent (3.3 million persons) of the working age population. The
proportion is higher among males (24 percent) compared to females (16 percent) as indicated in Table 2.3.5.
The highest component of labour underutilisation was income/wage related inadequate employment (31
percent). It should be noted that unemployment contributed 25 percent of the total labour underutilization.

2.3.4.2 Persons in Employment Living in Poor Households

The working poor are people in employment, whose expenditure (as a proxy for income) falls below the
Poverty Line. According to the 2012/13 UNHS, 17 percent of the persons in employment were living in poor
households (about 1.4 million persons), as shown in Table 2.3.6 below. The number was more than thrice for
rural residents compared to their urban counterparts. Employed persons in primary sector (agriculture, forestry
and fishing) were poorer compared to those in production and services.

2.3.4.3 Share of Women in Employment

Figure 2.3.2 indicates that overall, females constituted 45.4 percent of the persons in employment. The
proportion of females in paid employment was 37.3 percent while the females were the majority for persons in
self-employment (52.6 percent). However, females were outnumbered in all the three sectors of production
with the service sector employing the highest proportion of women (47.8 percent).

2.3.4.4 Monthly wages for paid employees, 14-64 years

The 2012/13 UNHS provided information on income by individuals in paid employment. The information was
collected on different modes of payment including set piece, on the basis of sales, a combination of set piece
and basis of sales, in kind or any other means. The earnings of individuals were collected from all jobs in which
persons were engaged. The income from the self-employment was excluded due to their predominantly
informal nature and poor record keeping.
Table 2.3.7 indicates that overall, the median monthly earnings increased from shs 80,000 in 2009/10 to shs.
110,000 in 2012/13. This was a 37.5 percent increase in nominal terms. However, in real terms (CPI
30
2012/13=200.2, CPI 2009/10=144.0, CPI 2005/2006=100) the median monthly earnings have almost remained
the same over the survey periods. The median monthly earnings for males was more than double that of
females for both nominal and real wages.

2.3.5 Urban Labour Force Indicators

The Uganda Bureau of Statistics has been conducting annual Urban Labour Force Surveys (ULFS) since
2009. The Urban Labour Force Survey is a household-based survey that is intended to provide high quality
and consistent data on Labour Market situation in the urban areas. The ULFS 2015, covered the Greater
Kampala area which includes Kampala Capital City and the surrounding urban areas of Wakiso and Mukono
districts. The findings were based on the current standards on statistics of work, employment and labour
underutilization by 19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians adopted in 2013.

As indicated in Statistical Appendix table 2.3D, the total population in the Greater Kampala area was estimated
at 3.2 million in 2015 of which, two million were of working age (14-64 years). More than two thirds (69 percent)
of the working age population (14-64 years) in the Greater Kampala area was working in 2015 while 66 percent
was employed (1.3 million people). The Labour force of the Greater Kampala was about 1.4 million persons
(72 percent of the working age population) with Kampala city’s labour force (nearly 0.7 million) being slightly
less than that of Peri-urban Kampala (nearly 0.8 million). The proportion of the males in the Labour force (81
percent) was higher than that of the females (65 percent) in the Greater Kampala. The proportion of the Labour
Force with at least secondary education was about 71 percent.

31
Statistical Appendix table 2.3D further shows that wage earners (employees) accounted for nearly one half of
the employed population (49 percent) while own account workers was 35.4 percent and employers about 10
percent. The share of employment in non-agriculture employment was about 50.3 percent.

About 25 percent of the population in greater Kampala was not economically active, that is, neither working nor
actively seeking work during the month preceding the survey date with relatively higher proportion of females
(32 percent) than males (16.1 percent).

2.3.6 Working Children1

The Constitution of Uganda defines a child as any person below 18 years of age. The National Labour Force
and Child Activities Survey (NLF & CAS) 2011/12 showed that 39 percent of the children aged 6-17 years (4.3
million) were involved in some work in 2011/12, that is, either work only or both work and school.

Child labour: Child labour refers to (i) work that is mentally, physically, socially and/or morally dangerous and
harmful to children. It also includes work or activities that interfere with children’s school attendance (ii)
hazardous work which by its nature or the circumstances under which it is performed, jeopardises the health,
safety and morals of a child.

The NLF & CAS 2011/12 also indicated that a total of 2 million children aged 5-17 years (approximately 16
percent of the total children) were engaged in child labour. In addition, about 65 percent of children were
involved in household chores. (See Statistical Appendix Table 2.3 E).

1
Working children referred to persons 6-17 years of age who were involved in economic activity (the production of goods and services
under SNA production boundary) for at least an hour during a reference week.

32
2.3.6 Youth Employment
A youth is a person who is aged 18-30 years according to the national definition and 15-24 according to the
International Labour Organisation (ILO) definition. A survey of young people was conducted in 2013 and 2015.
The survey, called the School to Work Transition Survey (SWTS), targeted specific challenges young people
face to access stable employment opportunities. When using the strict definition of unemployment2, the survey
results showed that 74.2 percent of youth were employed and 4.9 percent were unemployed, indicating a total
labour force participation rate (LFPR) of 79.1 percent in 2015 compared to LFPR of 73.6 in 2013 (Table 2.3.9).

The survey results showed that, in 2015, the national youth unemployment rate was 6.2 percent and relaxed
definition was 16.4 percent. Relaxing the definition of unemployment altered the picture to an extent, that the
difference in unemployment rates was more than twice the unemployment rate based on the strict definition of
unemployment, implying that more youth were available to work but not actively seeking work.

2.3.7 Advertised Jobs in news papers
Labour demand from the enterprise as the economic unit comprises of occupied jobs and vacant jobs. The
ideal source of this information on the labour demand is establishment surveys. However, UBOS compiles data
on jobs advertised in the two major English Newspapers (New Vision and Daily Monitor), which is used as a
proxy for demand for labour in the country3. However, it should be noted that there exist un-advertised jobs
(mainly elementary occupations) as well as advertisements using other channels such as internal
advertisements within institutions, website, radio, etc.

2.3.7.1 Advertised Jobs by Professional Categorisation

Over the period 2011-2015, most of the jobs advertised were for professionals, followed by the technicians and
associate professionals. However in 2015, the senior officials and specialised managers were the most
dominant. It should be noted that jobs of professionals and associate professionals tend to require
advertisement before being filled. Casual jobs may, however, be filled without advertisement although they
form the majority of the new jobs created. The detailed occupations of advertised jobs are illustrated in
Statistical Appendix Table 2.3 G

2.3.7.2 Advertised Jobs by Industry

Over the period 2011-2015, majority of the jobs advertised were in the Public Administration sector. The share
of the jobs advertised in the public administration was 59 percent in 2015 up from about 50 percent during
2013 and 2014. The results also show that 18.4 percent of the advertisements were in the social sectors of
health and education during 2015 as compared to only 8.7 percent and 11.3 percent of the advertisements in
2014 and 2013, respectively as shown in Appendix Table 2.3 H. Table 2.3.11 below shows the job
advertisements and the regions where the work place is situated. Overall, more than one third of the jobs
advertised in 2015 had Kampala City as their designated work places.

2.3.8 Employment in the Civil Service

Employment in the civil service is composed of persons employed in the Traditional Civil Service, the teaching
service (primary and secondary), police, prisons, public universities and Local Governments. The annual
average size of the civil service in 2016 was 308,451 persons as indicated in Table 2.3.13. This was a slight
increase (2.7 percent) compared to the size in 2015. The results indicate that there was a declining trend in the
number of employees under the traditional civil service from 2012 up to 2014 which then increased slightly
from 2014 to 2016.

2.3.9 Emplyement and Earnings in the Selected Manufacturing and Hotel

Establishments
The statistics in this section are derived from data collected from 49 major manufacturing establishments out of
the about 150 selected establishments for the compilation of the Index of Industrial Production (IOP) and
Producer Price Index (PPI). These 49 establishments include all major manufacturing establishments that have
data on both the number of employees and labour costs for the period 2014-2016

The total employment in the 49 establishments in 2016 was 9,763, which is slightly higher than the
employment in 2015 as indicated in Table 2.3.15. The nominal monthly wage bill increased steadily from
2014 to 2016 from shs. 6,063 million to shs. 7,838 million in 2016 as shown in the table below.

2.4 Household Expenditure and Poverty
Wealth creation as a means of eradicating poverty is highlighted as one of Uganda’s key national development
objectives. The second National Development Plan (NDP II) for the period 2015/16-2019/20 notes that
whereas economic growth has improved over the years and absolute poverty reduced to 19.7percent, this
growth has not generated the momentum needed to transform Uganda’s economy at the pace anticipated in
Uganda Vision 2040, it is important that mechanisms are instituted to frequently monitor the changes in the
welfare of the population overtime. One of the approaches is to estimate the income or expenditure of
households/individuals and establish thresholds below which one is considered poor or non-poor. The latest
Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS V), like all earlier surveys uses household expenditure rather than
income to measure the living standards of the entire population.

2.4.1 Consumption Expenditure per Household

Table 2.4.1 presents the monthly consumption expenditure per household for three surveys after adjusting for
inflation. Uganda’s average household monthly expenditure in real terms, increased slightly from Ug. Shs
232,700 in 2009/10 to Ug. Shs 244,400 in 2012/13, representing a five percent increase during the period
under review. Regional variations reveal that, whereas the Central, and Western regions realized increases in
consumption expenditure, Kampala and the Eastern region registered a decline in real monthly consumption
expenditure per household between 2009/10 and 2012/13.

2.4.2 Mean Per Capita Consumption Expenditure

Table 2.4.2 presents the mean monthly consumption expenditure per capita after accounting for inflation.
Overall, the mean consumption expenditure per capita increased to Ug Shs 50,900 from about Ug Shs 47,200
between 2009/10 and 2012/13. The Western region registered the highest growth in consumption per capita of
27per cent followed by Northern region (10%). The Central and Eastern regions registered an increase in
mean consumption per capita of about eight percent and three percent respectively. The increase in
consumption expenditure per capita was largely observed in Western-rural (15%) and Northern-rural (11%).

37
 Urban areas on the other hand, did not register notable growth in consumption expenditure per capita as rural
areas. Most urban areas registered a decline in mean consumption expenditure per capita.

2.4.3 Share of Household Expenditure by Item Group

The trends in the share of each item group in the total household expenditure including non-consumption
expenditures are presented in Table 2.4.3. The results show that, overall, the share of food, drinks and tobacco
in total household expenditure was the highest (46 percent) and has largely dorminant over the three survey
periods; followed by expenditure on rent, fuel and power (16 percent). Increases were also registered in the
non-consumption; and household and personal goods categories between 2009/10 and 2012/13.

Rural-urban variations show that the share of food, drinks and tobacco in rural areas remained almost
unchanged while that of urban areas increased by six percentage points between 2009/10 and 2012/13. The
share of the household monthly expenditure on personal goods and on non-consumption expenditure
increased by about one percentage point while the share of expenditure on education and health declined by
about the same magnitude.

2.4.4 Poverty Trend Estimates
Table 2.4.4a, presents poverty statistics for the survey year 2012/13. Three poverty indicators: namely P0, P1
and P2 (Foster, Greer and Thorbecke, 1984) are reported. The P0 indicator is “headcount”: the percentage of
individuals estimated to be living in households with real private consumption per adult equivalent below the
poverty line for their region (divided into rural and urban). Thus a P0 of 19.7 implies that 19.7 percent of
Ugandans are estimated to live in households which spend less than what is necessary to meet their caloric
requirements and to afford them a mark-up for non-food needs. The headcount shows how broad poverty is,
although not necessarily how deep. That is to say, we do not know how far below the poverty line, the poor
are. For this information we use the P1 or P2 indicators.

The P1 indicator is the “poverty gap”. This is the sum over all individuals of the shortfall of their real private
consumption per adult equivalent from the poverty line, divided by the poverty line. One way to interpret the P1
is that it gives the per capita cost of eradicating poverty, as a percentage of the poverty line, if money could be
targeted perfectly. Thus if P1 is 5.2, then in an ideal world, it would cost 5.2 per cent of the poverty line per
Ugandan in order to eradicate poverty through selective transfers. In practice, it is impossible to target the poor
perfectly and issues such as administrative costs and incentive effects have to be considered. The P1 measure
gives an idea of the depth of poverty. However, it is limited because it is insensitive to how consumption is
distributed among the poor. For example, if a policy resulted in money transfer from someone just below the
poverty line to the poorest person, the P1 will not reflect this. To satisfy this condition, we need the P2
measure.

The P2 indicator is the “squared poverty gap”. This is the sum over all individuals of the square of the shortfall
of their real private consumption per adult equivalent and the poverty line divided by the poverty line. The
reason to square the shortfall is to give greater weight to those who are living far below the line. In brief,
whereas P0 measures how widespread poverty is, P1 measures how poor the poor are and, by giving more
weight to the poorest, P2 gives an indication of how severe poverty is.

Data are disaggregated by location, residence and regions. Along with the poverty statistics, we report the
percentage of people in each location, their mean household consumption per adult equivalent and the
contribution each location makes to each poverty statistic (i.e. what percentage of national poverty is
attributable to each location). Given that poverty statistics are estimates, it is useful to test whether changes in
their values are statistically significant (Kakwani, 1990). We report t-tests of the significance of the changes in
the poverty statistics between 2009/10 and the 2012/13 in Table 2.4.4a.

Based on the 2012/13 survey, it was estimated that 19.7 percent of Ugandans are poor, corresponding to
nearly 6.7 million persons. Table 2.4.4a provides more detailed statistics, broken down by region and rural-
urban status. The poor in the rural areas represent 22.8 percent of the population compared to only 9.3 percent
in the urban areas, hence the incidence of poverty remains higher in rural areas. The rural areas with about 77

39
percent of the population constitute 89 percent of national poverty. On the other hand, the urban areas
represent 22.6 percent of the population and constitute11 percent of national poverty.

Decomposing the total national poverty by region reveals that incidence of income poverty varies significantly.
The regional ranking is consistent with the previous poverty works on Uganda. The incidence of poverty
remains highest in the Northern region (44%) and least in the Central region (5%). Clearly, the incidence of
poverty in the Northern and Eastern regions is much higher than the national average of 19.7 percent.

Analysis of the poverty trends in Table 2.4.4a reveals that, the percentage of people living in absolute poverty
declined by 4.8 percentage points between 2005/09 and 2012/13. The overall decline is statistically significant
as was the case during the period between 2005/06 and 2009/10. The other poverty indicators (P1 and P2
measures) follow a similar trend as the headcount index and are equally statistically significant. The incidence
of income poverty for Uganda as a whole declined between 2009/10 and 2012/13 irrespective of the indicator
used (P0, P1, or P2).

2.4.5 Income Inequality

The distribution of income across individuals shows who benefits or misses out on the development
opportunities available to society. The Gini coefficient is one of the measures for income inequality. Table 2.4.5
shows that, overall, income inequality as measured by the Gini coefficient stood at 0.395 in 2012/13 which was
a decrease from 0.426 in 2009/10. Decomposing by residence, reveals that inequality was largely driven by
urban areas. The findings further show a notable reduction in income inequality in the Central and Western
regions while an increase was observed in the Northern region.

2.4.6 Changes in poverty Status (2013/14 – 2015/2016)

UBOS also conducts Panel Surveys with the objective of monitoring poverty and service outcomes in interim
years of the UNHSs. Table 2.4.6 presents the welfare status of Uganda from the Panel survey period 2013/14
to 2015/16 disaggregated by selected population characteristics. Poverty has been measured using monetary
methods of welfare such as consumption expenditure. However, the multi-dimensional nature of poverty calls
for complementary measures to fully understand poverty. This entails considering a combination of measures
of wellbeing for instance education, health, vulnerability and deprivation among others. In addition, panel
surveys have demonstrated that poverty is not static, instead, poor people and indeed households change their
state depending on several factors. Some stay in poverty over an extended period of time while others move
into and out of poverty overtime. This section highlights changes in poverty over the panel survey period.
41
Overall, 10 percent of the population in Uganda was chronically poor. The chronically poor were more likely to
be in households residing in rural areas (12%), households whose head had no formal education (23%), as
well as households residing in the Northern region (24%) of Uganda. On the other hand, people that
experienced mobility into or out of poverty between 2013/14 and 2015/16 were mainly from the Eastern region
followed by Northern regions as well as persons belonging to households whose head had some or no formal
education. However, overall, close to seven in every ten persons of the household population remained non-
poor (69%) over the two survey periods. The majority of those who remained non-poor had attained secondary
education or beyond as shown in the table below.

There was a five percent increase in monthly household expenditure between 2009/10 and 2012/13.
Household consumption expenditure per capita was observed to have increased by 15% in Western-rural
region. The largest share of households’ expenditure was on food, beverages and tobacco (46%).Trends in
poverty show that the proportion of the poor population reduced from 24.5% in 2009/10 to 19.7% in 2012/13.In
terms of Absolute numbers, about 6.7 million Ugandans lived in poverty in 2012/2013. Nationally, on average,
income inequality reduced from 0.426 to 0.395 in the survey period 2009/10 and 2012/13, respectively.

With regard to changes in poverty between 2013/14 and 2015/16, overall, 10 percent of the population in
Uganda was chronically poor across the survey periods. The chronically poor were more likely to be in
households residing in rural areas (12%), households whose head had no formal education (23%), as well as
households residing in the Northern region (24%) of Uganda.

2.5 Public Health

This section presents statistics on some of the key aspects of public health. These include status of healthcare
facilities, immunisation coverage, morbidity and other selected health sector performance indicators.

2.5.1 Health Facilities

Health facilities in Uganda include hospitals and health centres (IV, III and II). The number of functional
healthcare facilities in 2015/16 was 5,117 down from 5,205 that were registered in 2012/13 as shown in Table
2.5.1 below. See appendix table 2.5A for ownership status of functional healthcare facilities by district in the
year ending June 2013.

Figure 2.5.1 below provides information on staffing levels for selected cadres of human resource for health for
the years 2014/15 and 2015/16. Medical officers (doctors) that make the core of health staff, less than 50
percent of the approved posts were filled in the year 2015/16 (49 percent) down from 63 percent of approved
posts filled in 2015. There was a slight increment in the numbers of filled posts for the pharmacists in 2015/16
(40 percent) up from 38 percent observed in 2014/15.

2.5.2 Expenditure on Health Sector

The government expenditure on the health sector as a percentage of the total government expenditure is
shown in Figure 2.5.2 below. Government expenditure on health in the year 2015/16 was 6.4 percent down
from 8.5 percent spent in the previous year 2014/15. Generally, government expenditure on health sector has
been declining since financial year 2013/14 (7.8 percent). The trend changed upwards in financial 2013/14 (8.7
percent) but in the Financial 2014/15 went down to 8.5 percent. The average expenditure on health sector in
the last five years stood at 7.9 percent, 1.9 points short of the Health Sector Development Plan 2015/16-
2019/20 target of 9.8 percent and much lower than the Abuja Declaration of 15 percent.

Generally the per capita public health expenditure has been on the increase in Uganda. Figure 2.5.3 shows
that per capital health expenditure in 2015/16 was Uganda Shillings 36,830 compared to Uganda Shillings
37,130 registered in the previous year 2014/15. Before 2015 the per capita health expenditure increased to
Uganda Shillings 32,214 up from Uganda Shillings 23,756 observed in 2012/13 down from 25,142 Uganda
Shillings seen in 2011/12.

2.5.3 Morbidity
Morbidity is defined as the total population at risk of getting infected by a disease outbreak as measured by the
incidence of a disease. Incidence is the number of new cases of the population reporting having a disease in a
given time period. The table 2.5.4 shows that the number of new cases reporting various illnesses in the
outpatient departments has been increasing in the last five years except for 2013/14. Malaria has been the
leading cause of morbidity in Uganda followed by Cough or Cold. In the FY 2013/14, these two accounted for
60 percent of the morbidity.

2.5.4.1 Maternal Morbidity and Mortality
Table 2.5.5 shows haemorrhage as the leading cause of maternal illness and mortality accounting for 39
percent of the deaths in 2015/16 in the last five years. Although pregnancy related hypertension was high in
2015 (12 percent), it was surpassed by postpartum sepsis (20 percent) to be second to Obstetric haemorrhage
in 2016.

2.5.4.2 Pregnancy Related Mortality

Maternal mortality ratio is the number of women who die due to pregnancy related causes per 100,000 live
births. Figure 2.5.5 indicates that maternal mortality ratio for Uganda 1995-2016. The maternal mortality for
2016 was 336 per 100,000 live birth down from 438 per live birth recorded in 2011 according to Uganda
Demographic Health Survey (UDHS), 2016. For the last fifteen years, the maternal mortality ratio has been
coming down starting from 2001. This is consistent with the trend of pregnancy related mortality observed in
health facilities from Ministry of Health Health Management Information System (HMIS).

2.5.4.3 Deliveries by skilled health provider
The Delivery by Skilled Attendance Rate is the percentage of women who give birth under the supervision of a
qualified health worker per 1000 live birth in a given period and geographical area. In 2016, Delivery by Skilled
Attendance Rate increased to 74 compared to 58 percent registered in 2011. In 2006 the skilled attendance
rate was 42 percent up from 37 percent observed in 2001 as shown in figure 2.5.4.

2.5.5 Under Five Health Facility Based Mortality

A total of 12,358 deaths were reported in health facilities for (in-patients) in the FY 2015/16 among under-fives
down from 13,554 deaths reported in 2014/15. Malaria was the leading cause of mortality (42.8 percent)
amongst this category of population in 2015/16, followed by Pneumonia 11.2 percent, anaemic conditions was
at 10.6 percent and Perinatal Conditions at 6.3 percent.

2.5.6 Tuberculosis Detection and Treatment
Tuberculosis (TB) is a main cause of illness and death globally, accounting for an estimated 8.8 million new
cases and 1.6 million deaths each year. In Uganda the Ministry of Health has promoted new smear-positive
case detection and subsequent treatment of the patients. The TB case detection rate in 2015/16 was 80
percent as shown in figure 2.5.6 below. This was a sharp increase in the detection rate down from 45 percent
observed in 2014/15. The treatment success rate has stagnated at about 80 percent since in 2013/14.

2.6 Crime Statistics
Crime statistics are very useful in implementing effective strategies for fighting crime and its impact to the
population. This chapter presents data on various forms of crime and remedial measures as compiled by the
Uganda Police Force and the Uganda Prisons Service respectively.

2.6.1 Annual Crime Rate

Crime Rate is the incidence of crime per 100,000 people based on reported cases. Figure 2.6.1 shows that in
2015, the Annual Crime Rate (ACR) stood at 741; this means that, out of every 100,000 people, 741 were
victims of crime in 2015 compared to 742 victims reported in 2014.

Figure 2.6.1: Trend in Crime rate

Table 2.6.1 presents the most common crimes reported in 2015 by category. Common assault was the most
reported type of crime by victims. Most forms of crime were on the decrease except Aggravated Assaults,
Child neglect and Domestic Violence which increased 23 percent, six percent and three percent, respectively
in 2015.

Table 2.6.2 shows that among the adults, more males than females were victims of at least one crime in 2015
while the reverse was observed for juveniles, that is, more females than males were victims. The majority of
the male victims were victims of general crimes (138,986) mainly thefts (35,767). Of the female victims,
majority (82,223) were victims of general crimes with sex related offences as the main cause.

2.6.3 Traffic and Road Safety

This section covers information on traffic crashes, causalities, accident victims, vehicles involved in road
accidents, causes of road accidents and the time of crash.

Reported Road Traffic Crashes

Road Traffic Crashes refer to accidents that are either fatal, serious or minor. An accident is said to be fatal if a
death occurs at the scene of the accident and/or within one year as a result of injuries sustained in the
accident. A serious accident is one in which a person is admitted in the hospital as an “in-patient” or sustains
injuries like fractures, concussion, internal injuries, crashing, severe cuts and lacerations whether or not one is
admitted in the hospital. A minor accident is defined as a car damage only, in which no persons are injured
regardless of the extent of damage on the vehicle.
The Uganda Police Force recorded a total of 14,474 road traffic crashes in 2016 as shown in Table 2.6.4. The
table also shows that nearly half of the accidents in 2016 were serious. There was a 22 percent decrease in
the total number of reported road traffic crashes between 2015 and 2016. However, fatal crashes registered an
increase of 8.4 percent in the same period.

Casualties of traffic crashes

For every fatal or serious road traffic crash there are victims who are referred to as causalities. Table 2.6.5
indicates that there were a total of 15,757 casualties reported in 2016; a decrease by about 15 percent from
the number of traffic casualties reported in 2015. The Table also indicates that most casualties (20.1 percent)
in 2016 survived with serious injuries. The Accident Severity Index is used to measure seriousness of an
accident. It is defined as the number of persons killed per 100 accidents. In every 100 accidents that occurred,
24 persons died in 2016.

Accident victims by type of road user
Table 2.6.6 indicates that in 2016, passengers constituted the highest percentage of accident victims (38.8
percent) followed by pedestrians (26.4 percent) which accounts for about two thirds of all accident victims.
Pedal cyclists and drivers formed the least proportion of causalities at 4.4 percent and 6.7 percent respectively.
A similar pattern was observed for causalities in the previous years.

Express Penalty Scheme

The Express Penalty Scheme (EPS) was introduced in 2004 under Section 165 of the Traffic and Road Safety
Act 1998 (TRS Act, 1998) to help Police manage minor traffic offences and offenders. A total number of
218,287 tickets were issued on the Express Penalty Scheme (EPS) in 2016 with an average value of UGX.
68,000 per ticket. This showed a high increment from the number of tickets issued in 2015 by twenty one
percent as indicated in table 2.6.11. This could have resulted from the implementation of the road traffic
regulations under the enforcement operations.

2.6.4 Prison Statistics

a) Prison Population

Table 2.6.13 reflects an increase in the total prison population of about 13 percent from 2015. The majority of
prisoners in 2016 were on remand, accounting for more than half (51 percent) of the prison population. Debtors
constituted only 0.7 percent of the prison population. The Incarceration Rate which has been on the increase
since 2013 stood at 140 prisoners per 100,000 persons in 2016. The table further shows convicted prisoners
account for 48 percent of the prison population in 2016.

**The incarceration rate is the number of prisoners per 100,000 population.

Table 2.6.14 shows that the majority of foreign prisoners (0.63 percent) were Rwandese followed by
Congolese and that the minority (0.01 percent) were Europeans. Age group differentials showed that most
prisoners (26 percent) were aged 20-24 years. About two percent of the prisoners were older persons aged 60
years and above. From age group 15-19 to 20-24, the proportion of prisoners increased and then reduced with
increase in age of prisoners.

While in prison, prisoners undergo rehabilitation such as education (both formal and informal), skills
development, as well as guidance and counselling. This rehabilitation serves the sole objective of transforming
them into better citizens that can adopt to life outside prison once they are released from jail. Table 2.6.17
shows that 12,562 prisoners were undergoing skills training in agriculture and vocational learning in 2016.

b) Prison Capacity and Occupancy rate

Overcrowding in prison cells is a serious violation of prisoners’ constitutional human rights since prisoners are
entitled to a healthy environment. Table 2.6.18 shows high levels of overcrowding in prison cells across all
regions in the country. The National Prison Occupancy Rate in 2016 was 309 percent implying that, there were
308 prisoners in every space meant for 100 prisoners. Regionally, wide variations were observed. Kampala
had the highest prison occupancy rate (404 percent) while Eastern region had the lowest rate (223 percent).
The details are given in statistical appendix Table 2.6.B.

*Includes prisoners in Luzira and Kigo

Of the women who are incarcerated, a majority (1,986) were of childbearing age (15-49 years) as shown in
Table 2.6.13. Babies need their mothers because that child needs to breastfeed in order to develop early
bonding attachments with the mother5. A total of 225 babies were in 2016 staying with their mothers in prison.
Figure 2.6.2 indicates that the Northern region had the highest proportion (26 percent) of mothers living with
their babies in prison while the Central region had the least (13 percent).

PRODUCTION STATISTICS

3.1 Agriculture and Fisheries

This section presents statistics on food crop area and production, selected cash crop production, livestock,
livestock products and fish catch.

3.1.1 Major Cash Crops

The traditional cash crops of Uganda include: Coffee, Tea, Cotton and Tobacco. Uganda produces two kinds
of coffee (Arabica and Robusta). Over the years, Robusta coffee has been produced in much more quantities
compared to Arabica coffee (also known as mountain coffee).

There was an increase in the volume of coffee and cotton produced in 2016, while tea production declined to
39,299 tonnes (33 percent) from 58,588 tonnes in 2015. A total of 243,061 tonnes of coffee was produced in
2016 resulting into an increment of about 6.1 percent from that produced in 2015. Cotton production increased
to 20,339 tonnes from 17,275 tonnes produced in 2015 hence a 17.7 percent increment. Statistical Appendix
Table 3.2 A presents coffee, cotton and tea produced for the period 2012 – 2016.

3.1.2 Area and production of Food Crops, 2016

Uganda grows several food crops of which 16 are major according to the Uganda Census of Agriculture (UCA)
2008/09. These include Maize, Millet, Sorghum, Rice, Cassava, Sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, Beans, Cow
peas, Field peas, Pigeon peas, Groundnuts, Soya beans, Simsim, Plantains and Coffee.

Area under major crop groups was as follows: Cereals (1,787,000 Ha), Roots and Tubers (1,347,000 Ha),
Plantains (970,000 Ha), Oil crops (927,000Ha) and Pulses (762,688Ha). Area planted under cereals and root
crops, pulses and oil crops increased by less than one percent except for area under plantains and pulses
which decreased by about 0.3 percent and 0.01 percent respectively.

There was a general reduction in production for most of the crops. There was a significant decline in
production of plantains to 3,395,875 tonnes in 2016 (27 percent). Other crops with reduced production include
millet (18 percent), maize (12 percent), sorghum (11 percent) and beans (25 percent) among others. Like the
rest of the crops, most oil crops declined by about three percent. See Statistical Appendix Table 3.2 C.

3.1.2.2 Disposition of Cereals (UCA 2008/09)

The three most common types of disposition for cereal crops are; sale, consumption and storage. A
significant percentage of Maize production (40.5 percent) and Rice production (54.5 percent) was sold while
most of the Finger millet (37.7 percent) and Sorghum (46.9 percent) were consumed by the producing
households. For all the four cereals crops in the table below, less than 10 percent of production was used for
other purposes. The details are provided in Tables 3.2.3.

3.1.3 Fish catch by water body
Fish catch activities which are carried out in open water sources provide an important source of livelihood for
many people in Uganda. Open Waters cover 15.3 percent of Uganda’s total surface area 241,550.7Km2 and
this comprises of five major lakes (Victoria, Albert, Kyoga, Edward and George), which are the main
contributors to capture fisheries. Lake Victoria continued to be the most important water body in Uganda, both
in size and contribution to the fish catch. Its share of catch was 52.1 percent in 2015 and this rose to 54.2
percent in 2016. This was followed by Lake Albert (31.7%) and Lake Kyoga (8.7 %) as shown in Figure 3.1.2.

There was an increase in the fish catch for Lake Victoria from 238,630 tonnes produced in 2015 to 252,804
tonnes in 2016. Albert Nile, Lakes Edward, George and Kazinga channel and other waters also registered an
increase in fish catch. However, Lake Albert, Lake Kyoga and Lake Wamala recorded a decline in fish catch
during the year 2016. It is worth noting that over 90 percent of the fish catch is harvested from Lakes: Victoria,
Albert and Kyoga whose trends are shown in the figure below. The details of fish catch data by water body for
the period 2012 to 2016 is shown in Statistical Appendix Table 3.1 E.

3.1.4 Livestock
Livestock plays an important role in the country’s food security and it is the main source of proteins. There was
a 2.4 percentage increase in the cattle population from 14,031,000 in 2015 to 14,368,000 in 2016. In addition,
sheep and goat numbers increased from 4,198,000 to 4,307,000 and from 15,312,000 to 15,312,000
respectively in the year 2015 and 2016. This was a 2.6 and 2.7 percentage increase respectively for the small
ruminants. The pig population also increased from 3,916,000 in 2015 to 4,037,000 in 2016 while poultry
numbers increased from 45,145,000 in 2015 to 46,291,000 in 2016. Fig 3.1.4 shows changes in livestock
numbers for all livestock types. Statistical Appendix Table 3.1 F provides data on livestock numbers by type for
the period 2012-2016.

3.2 Industry Statistics

3.2.1 Index of Production (Manufacturing)

The Index of Production (IoP) for the manufacturing sector measures changes in the volume of goods
produced by the manufacturing sector in the economy. Monthly data is collected on a quarterly basis from
manufacturing establishments that contribute about 80 percent of manufacturing value addition. The index is
computed for eight broad groups as shown in Table 3.2.1 below and the detailed group shown in Statistical
Appendix Tables 3.2 A and 3.2 B.

The volume of production for the manufacturing sector increased by 5.4 percent for 2016 as shown in Table
3.2.2. There was a notable increase in the Textiles, Clothing and Footwear sector to 21.8 percent that was
mainly due to a 54.1 percent increase in the volume of cotton ginning. Food Processing group indicated an
increase of 10.6 percent that was mainly attributed to an increase in bakery production (32.5 percent) and Tea
processing (37.7 percent). There was also an increase in volume of Chemicals, Paint, Soap & Foam Products
group of 9.9 percent mainly attributed to increase in volume of Chemical & Pharmaceutical Production (59.4
percent).It should be noted however, that the volume of production for the Metal Products, Drinks and Tobacco
groups recorded a decline of 2.4 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively.

3.6.4 Inland Water Transport

The inland water transport system in Uganda operates mainly on Lake Victoria using Port Bell and the
remaining five lakes and six rivers. Figure 3.6.1 shows that since 2012, there has been a declining volume of
cargo going through Port Bell. This was due to the low business of the Nakuru – Kisumu railway track that
connects Kenya to both Tanzania and Uganda through Lake Victoria.

Figure 3.6.1: Cargo through Port Bell, 2011 to 2015

3.6.5 Transport Licensed Vehicles for Public Use

This sub-section provides statistics on vehicles regulated by the Transport Licensing Board. The main
functions of the Board is to regulate the use of public transport vehicles; private omnibuses; goods transport
vehicles throughout Uganda in accordance with the provisions of the traffic and Road Safety Act, (1998). The
board grants routes for private bus operations and inspects and licenses Inland Water Transport Vessels. Most
of the changes in the series are attributed to enforcement schemes.

78
Table 3.6.13 shows that there was a significant increase in the number of Tourist modelled licensed vehicles
and Boda boda by 229 and 220 percent, respectively in 2016. During the period, there was a notable increase
in the issuance of certificates of fitness to Vehicles of 638 percent. This was as a result of the introduction of a
periodic inspection of all vehicles in the country using modern automated equipment which eliminates personal
subjectivity to ensure roadworthiness by the Government. Fluctuations in the number of annual license is a
result variations in the degree of enforcement.

3.8 Migration and Tourism

This section presents a summary of international movement of persons through gazetted points of entry and
exit of the country and other Tourism Statistics such as, visitors to national parks in the country. The
information presented here is based on the Arrival and Departure Declaration Cards filled at 22 gazetted
border points. Due to the irregular use of Arrival and Departure Declaration Cards, data for Entebbe
International Airport and Katuna border posts was estimated based on the counts from Personal Identification
Secure Comparable Evaluation System (PISCES) information.

3.8.1 International Arrivals and Departures

The country recorded a total of 3.7 million travels in 2016 with the number of departures exceeding arrivals.
The number of arrivals through the gazetted border posts increased by 4.1 percent between 2015 and 2016,
while departures increased by 10.3 percent in the same period as shown in Table 3.8.1.Throughout the period,
there were more male travelers compared to their female counterparts as shown in appendix Table 3.8 D.

3.8.2 Arrivals from and Departures to the EAC- Partner States

Table 3.8.2 shows that the number of arrivals from EAC member states reduced marginally from about
852,000 in 2015 to about 849,000 in 2016. Over the past five years, most of the arrivals and departures were
from Kenya followed by Rwanda, overall accounting for 85 percent of the arrivals and departures. The net
movement between Uganda and the other Partner States reduced from about 125,000 persons in 2015 to
about 28,000 in 2016. However, note that there was an intermittent flow of arrival and departure cards at the
border posts which could have also contributed to the decrease.

3.8.3 Tourist Arrivals

A Tourist is any person travelling to and staying in a place outside their usual residence (environment) for a
period of not more than twelve consecutive months for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the
exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited. Table 3.8.3 shows that out of 1.8 million total
arrivals in 2016, majority (73 percent) were tourist arrivals. The number of tourist arrivals has remained almost
the same between 2012 and 2016. During the period (2012-2014) the tourist arrivals were consistently higher
than the tourist departures, but the reverse is seen in 2015 and 2016.

4.1.3.5 Fishing
Fishing activities are estimated to have grown by 1.7 percent in 2016/17 from a strong growth 4.8 percent
registered in 2015/16. The growth was mainly due to recovery of the fishing activities following tougher
measures that enforced the fishing laws and regulations. The contribution of fishing activities to GDP, at
current prices, remained at 1.6 percent in 2016/17 as in 2015/16.

4.1.4 Industry Sector

4.1.4.1 Mining and quarrying

Mining and quarrying activities are estimated to have declined by 9.3 percent in 2016/17 compared to a strong
growth of 12.4 percent for 2015/16. The decline in mining & quarrying activities led to a fall in its contribution to
total GDP to 0.6 percent from 0.7 percent in 2015/16.

90
4.1.4.2 Manufacturing
Manufacturing activities are estimated to have grown by 2.1 percent in 2016/17 compared with a 0.6 percent
growth registered in 2015/16. The recovery in manufacturing activities was mainly due to better performance in
production activities like sugar production, soft drinks, chemical & pharmaceuticals, cement & lime, and iron &
steel. However, decline was recorded in grain & starch milling, leather & foot wear, textile and garments in
2016/17. As a result, preliminary GDP estimates show that the share of manufacturing activities to the total
GDP reduced to 8.2 percent in 2016/17 compared to the share of 8.7 percent in 2015/16.

4.1.4.3 Electricity Supply

Electricity supply activities are estimated to have grown by 8.3 percent in 2016/17 compared to a growth of 4.0

1.2 percentage points compared to the growth of 7.3 percent achieved in 2015/16. The slow growth in
construction activities was largely driven by the weak private investments in the construction of buildings. The
construction activities contributed 7.4 percent to the total GDP in 2016/17 compared to the share of 7.6 percent
in 2015/16.

4.1.5 Services Sector

4.2 Price Statistics

4.2.1 Consumer Price Index (CPI)

This section presents statistics on Consumer Price Indices (CPIs) for goods and services consumed by
households within the economic territory. The national CPI covers eight urban centers of Kampala, Jinja,
Mbale, Masaka, Mbarara, Gulu, Arua and Fort Portal. Apart from Kampala, each of the urban centres has an
independent consumption basket of goods and services. However, the consumption of Kampala is
decomposed into 3 consumption baskets; these are, Kampala High Income (KHI), Kampala Middle Income
(KMI) and Kampala Low Income (KLI). Thus, in all, the Uganda national CPI is a composition of 10
consumption baskets. Also presented in this publication are the average market prices of selected goods for
the consumption baskets of Kampala High, Kampala Middle and Kampala Low income groups.

4.2.1.1 Headline Inflation

Headline Inflation is the measure of the relative change in prices of all goods and services for all the 10
consumption baskets. The 2016 Calendar Year registered a slightly higher annual average inflation of 5.5
percent compared to the annual average inflation of 5.4 percent recorded for the 2015 Calendar Year, as
shown in Figure 4.2.1. The relatively higher rate (5.5 percent) recorded in 2016 was due to an increases in
core inflation and in the Energy, Fuel and Utilities ( EFU) inflation compared to the 2015 calendar year.

The urban centre of Arua recorded the highest annual average inflation of 6.9 percent in 2016 compared to 4.8
percent recorded in 2015. This was followed by Kampala Low Income (KLI) that registered an annual average
inflation of 6.4 percent in 2016 compared to 5.6 percent recorded for the 2015. The lowest annual average
inflation for the 2016 Calendar Year was recorded in the urban area of Mbale at 3.5 percent and the same
change of 3.5 percent was observed in 2015. The Financial Year 2015/16 registered an annual average
inflation of 6.6 percent compared to the 2.9 percent annual average inflation recorded during the 2014/15

4.2.1.2 Core Inflation

Core Inflation measures relative changes in the prices of all goods and services in the consumption
expenditure basket excluding fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, dried vegetables and fresh milk. Also excluded
are tobacco leaves, electricity, petrol, diesel, paraffin, charcoal, propane gas, metered water and un-
metered water. The annual average Core Inflation rose to 6.0 percent in 2016 from the 5.4 percent
recorded during the 2015 calendar year as shown in Figure 4.2.3. The increase in the inflation was
attributed to increases in prices of Education services, Alcoholic beverages, Restaurants, Hotels and
Miscellaneous goods and services during the calendar year 2016 compared to 2015 Calendar Year. The
annual average core inflation for the 2015/16 financial year increased to 6.7 percent from the 3.2 percent
recorded during the 2014/15 financial year (see Statistical Appendix Table 4.2 A).

4.2.1.3 Food Crops Inflation
As shown in Figure 4.2.3 above, the annual average Food Crops inflation for 2016 Calendar Year
decreased to 3.1 percent from 6.7 percent recorded for the 2015 Calendar Year. The decrease in the
annual average food crops inflation is attributed to good harvests experienced during the year, which led
to increased supplies of fresh food products on the market during the 2016 Calendar Year. The 2015/16
Financial Year, registered a higher annual average food crops inflation of 5.5 percent compared to the 1.4
percent recorded for 2014/15 Financial Year (see Statistical Appendix Table 4.2 A).

4.2.1.4 Energy, Fuel and Utilities (EFU) Inflation

During the 2016 calendar year, the local market continued to register relatively higher prices of fuel. This
resulted into the annual average EFU Inflation to be registered at 3.9 percent from 3.5 percent recorded
during the 2015 Calendar Year (see Statistical Appendix Table 4.2 A). The 2015/16 financial year,
registered a higher annual average inflation of 6.7 percent was observed compared to 1.8 percent
registered in 2014/15.

4.2.1.5 Major Inflation drivers during the CY 2016

Over the 12 months of 2016, the national annual average Index rose by 5.5 percent. The main driver was
Education that registered 14.8 percent in 2016 compared to 6.4 percent recorded for 2015. Others were;
Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco & Narcotics (5.4 percent), Restaurants and Hotels (6.2 percent),
Miscellaneous Goods and Services (6.6 percent) and Transport (4.4 percent). (See Statistical Appendix
Table 4.2 E).

4.2.2 Producer Price Index - Manufacturing

The Producer Price Index for Manufacturing (PPI-M) is an index that measures change in the prices of a
basket of products either as they leave their place of production (Output Price Index) or as they enter the
production process (Input Price Index). The current PPI-M is an Output Price Index with its base period being
the quarter of July to September 2004. Its coverage is restricted to businesses in the manufacturing sector
and the structure of the PPI-M is such that it includes goods produced for both the local and export market
(Combined), with the former representing 79.0 percent and the latter representing 21.0 percent. The index
covers eight broad manufacturing industry groups. The groups are:
i. Food Processing;
ii. Drinks and Tobacco;
iii. Textiles, Clothing and Foot wear;
iv. Paper Products;
v. Chemicals, Paint, Soap and Foam products;
vi. Bricks and Cement;
vii. Metals and Related products; and
viii. Miscellaneous Products.

4.2.3 Producer Price Index- Hotels & Restaurants

The producer Price Index for Hotels and Restaurants (PPI- H&R) measures the average change in the prices
that Hotel and Restaurant Service providers receive for their services. It is an Output Price Index designed to
reflect the price trend of a constant well-defined and representative basket of services provided by hoteliers.
The Index is divided into two sub-sectors and these are; Accommodation and Catering services. The Catering
services are further divided into two categories; Food and snacks and Drinks as shown in Table 4.2.7. The
prices collected exclude all taxes and other levies. The base period for this index is the first quarter of 2008
and covers a sample of 100 hotels and restaurants across the country (January- March 2008).

4.2.3.1 Annual Average Producer Price changes

The annual average producer prices for Hotels and Restaurants Sector rose by 1.4 percent in the year 2016,
compared with the increase of 14.3 percent for the previous year. Accommodation and Catering service prices
as sub-sectors rose by 0.1 and 4.2 percent respectively. The rise in the Catering services subsector was
mainly attributed to a 3.3 percent rise in prices of Food & Snacks and a 6.8 percent rise in Drinks prices as
shown in Table 4.2.7 and Statistical Appendix Table 4.2Y.

4.2.4 Construction Sector Indices

4.2.4 Construction Sector Indices

The Construction Sector Index (CSI) is an input price index which measures the cost of a given set
(basket) of construction goods and services, relative to their cost in the base period. This basket includes
the costs of materials, equipment and labour as inputs to the construction sector. The first quarter
(January-March) of 2006 is the base period for the CSI.

4.2.4.1 CSI Composition

The CSI is composed of Basic Heading and Composite Indices. The Basic Headings are the smallest
sets of goods and services which are used to develop Composite Indices. Each Basic Heading covers a
reasonably homogeneous set of goods and services, which are maintained over time. For example,
items within a Basic Heading are likely to be made from the same material. A list of Basic Headings is
given in Statistical Appendix Table 4.2 Z.

4.2.4.2 Annual Changes

The average prices in the construction industry increased by 3.6 percent in 2016 compared to 2015 as
shown in Table 4.2.8. The sub sector that observed the highest average price change over the year 2016
was the All buildings by 5.5 percent greatly influenced by the Residential buildings where average prices
increased by 10.5 percent. Non Residential Buildings witnessed average price change of 3.0 percent.
Civil works had average price change of 1.3 percent with both Roads paved and Water projects both
increasing average prices by 1.8 percent. The only construction type that observed a reduction in average
prices was Water projects by 0.2 percent.

104
 Over the period under review (2012-2016), average prices in the overall construction sector registered the
highest increase of inputs in 2012 at 7.3 percent, followed by an increase of 3.6 percent in 2016.
However, we observe a price drop in construction sector inputs in 2014 by 2.8 percent. Relatedly, civil
works had the highest increase in average prices of inputs in 2012 at 6.2 percent, followed by 4.8 percent
in 2013 and the lowest increase (0.5 percent) was registered in 2014 while 2016 observed price
increments by 1.3 percent. The average price of inputs into All Buildings registered the highest increase
(7.6 percent) in 2012, followed by 5.5 percent in 2016.

 4.3 External Trade

This section presents a summary of External Trade Statistics in US dollar value and quantity, based on actual
flow of goods as recorded by the Customs Department of the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) and
augmented by Non-Customs data sources. In addition, information from the Informal Cross Border Trade
(ICBT) survey has been included for the respective neighbouring countries for completeness purposes. The
compilation of External Trade statistics is based on the General Trade System and coded according to HS2012
and the Standard International Trade Classification Revision Four (SITC Rev4) nomenclature.

4.3.1 Trade Balance

The country continued to experience trade deficits throughout the period (2012 – 2016), with the lowest trade
deficit of US$ 1,992.8 million being registered in 2016, while the highest of US$ 3,462.8 million was registered
in 2014, as shown in Table 4.3.1. Overall, the trade deficit continued to reduce as a result of reduced imports.

4.3.2 Exports
In 2016, total export earnings were US$ 2,901.5 million, of which formal exports were worth US$ 2,482.3
million while informal exports were worth US$ 419.2 million. The overall export earnings increased by 8.8
percent in 2016. The formal exports increased by 9.5 percent in 2016. On the other hand, informal exports
increased by 5.0 in 2016. (See Table 4.3.1 below).

4.3.3 Imports
The total imports bill in 2016 was US$ 4,894.3 million, of which, formal imports accounted for US$ 4,829.4
million, while informal imports were estimated at US$ 64.9 million. The total imports bill declined by 12.5
percent in 2016 after a previous decrease of 8.9 percent in 2015. The reduction in imports value could be
attributed to political uncertainties during the Uganda presidential and parliamentary elections.

Figure 4.3.1 below shows the trend of imports, exports and trade balances from 2012 to 2016. From the figure,
imports decreased while exports increased in 2016. Although the exports increased by 8.8 percent and the
imports bill decreased by 12.5 percent, the trade deficits reduced significantly from US$ 2,926.3 million
recorded in 2015 to US$ 1,992.8 million in 2016.

4.3.4 Main traded Commodities

4.3.1.4 Commodity Exports
Basing on the national commodity classification, where exports are categorised into traditional and non-
traditional exports, the contribution of the formal Traditional Exports (TEs) to the overall formal export earnings
reduced from 25.0 percent in 2015 to 21.7 percent in 2016. This reduction is attributed to the decrease in the
coffee and tobacco earnings (See Statistical Appendix Table 4.3 C).

Overall, coffee remained the main foreign exchange earner for the five years under review. Its share to total
formal exports reduced from 17.8 percent in 2015 to 15.0 percent in 2016. Earnings from tobacco decreased
from US$ 72.9 million to US$ 64.1 million in 2016 while that of tea increased to US$ 71.5 million in 2016 from
to US$ 70.3 million in 2015. Cotton earnings also increased from US$ 20.8 million in 2015 to US$ 31.6million
in 2016.

The share of the Non-Traditional Exports (NTEs) to total formal export earnings increased slightly from 75.0
percent in 2015 to 78.3 percent in 2016. Among the NTEs commodities that attracted considerable earnings in
2016 were gold and gold compounds, fish & fish products and petroleum products with percentage shares of
13.7, 4.9 and 4.6 percent respectively as shown in Statistical Appendix Table 4.3 C.

Under the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), Coffee, tea, cocoa, spices, and manufactures
thereof took the highest share of formal exports (21.3 percent) in 2016; followed by Gold, non-monetary
(13.1percent); then Cereals and cereal preparations (7.3 percent); then Fish, crustaceans and molluscs and

107
preparations thereof (4.9 percent); then Petroleum, petroleum products and related materials (4.8 percent) as
indicated in Statistical Appendix Table 4.3 D.

4.3.4.2 Commodity Imports

Throughout the period under review, Petroleum and petroleum products took the highest imports bill although
its expenditure bill reduced from US$ 1,007.8million in 2015 to US$ 775.0 million in 2016. Overall, the
percentage share of petroleum products over total imports decreased from 18.2 percent in 2015 to 16.2
percent of the total import expenditure during 2016. Other goods that took relatively big shares of the import bill
were; Road Vehicles (8.5 percent), Medical and pharmaceutical products (6.5 percent), Iron and steel (4.3) and
Cereals & cereal preparations (4.0 percent) (See Statistical Appendix Tables 4.3 G and 4.3 H).

4.3.5 Direction of Trade

4.3.5.1 Exports
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) regional bloc remained the main destination
for Uganda’s exports throughout the last five years under review. However, combined export earnings (formal
and informal exports) from the COMESA region decreased from US$ 1,263 million (47.0 percent of total export
earnings) in 2015 to US$ 1,226 million (42.2 percent of total export earnings) in 2016 (See Statistical Appendix
Tables 4.3I and 4.3J).

The other countries in Africa (besides the COMESA countries) ranked the second highest destination for
Uganda products, registering a slight decrease in its share from 16.9 percent in 2015 to 15.2 percent in 2016.
The European Union (EU) market ranked third highest destination for Uganda products, registering a slight
decrease in its share from 16.5 percent in 2015 to 14.8 percent in 2016.

Among the countries that contributed to the high export earnings in the COMESA region were Kenya,
Democratic Republic Congo and Rwanda amounting to US$ 483 million, US$ 398 million and US$ 227 million,
respectively in 2016. While the earnings from South Sudan were the highest among the Other African
countries with a value of US$ 281 million (9.7 percent share of the total export earnings) in 2016. Earnings
from the European Union were mainly from; Italy (3.4 percent), Netherlands (2.8 percent), Germany Federal
Republic (2.6 percent), and Belgium (2.3 percent) of the total exports share in 2016.

4.3.5.2 Imports
During the period under review, the Asian continent remained the major source of Uganda’s imports with total
expenditure value of US$ 2,976 million in 2015 and US$ 2,491 million in 2016. However, its market share to
the total imports dropped from 53.8 percent in 2015 to 50.9 in 2016. This drop is as a result of the decreased
import expenditure to India whose share decreased from 20.9 percent in 2015 to 17.1 percent in 2016. (See
Statistical Appendix Tables 4.3 E and 4.3 F).

108
The import bill from the Middle East countries ranked second highest with a value of US$ 694 million in 2015
and US$ 741 million in 2016 which constituted about 15.4 percent of the total import bill in 2016. The main
trading partners in the region were the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia accounting for 8.4
percent and 5.1 percent respectively.(See Statistical Appendix Tables 4.3 E and 4.3 F).

The COMESA region followed, with US$ 731 million and US$ 609 million, representing 13.1 percent and 12.4
percent of the total imports bill in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Kenya recorded the highest share of 9.9 percent
in the region.

4.4 Government Finance Statistics

4.4.1 Introduction
This section provides information on the fiscal operations of the General Government. Fiscal operations
include the revenue, expenditure and financing of government institutional units. Government revenue is
further analyzed by type of revenue while Government expenditure is analysed by economic and functional
classification according to GFS 2014 Manual. Government Finance Statistics (GFS) coverage is currently
restricted to the General Government sector which comprises of Central Government and Local Government
(111 Districts, 22 Municipalities and 174 Town councils) and also non-profit institutions that are controlled and
financed by the government.

4.4.2 Central Government revenue

During 2015/16, Central Government net revenue rose by 14.5 percent to Shs. 12,645.1 billion from Shs.
11,044.8 billion in 2014/15. Tax revenue remained the principal source of government revenue, accounting for
88.6 percent of total revenue in 2015/16. Throughout the period under review, taxes on goods and services
(VAT and Excise taxes) remained the main source of government tax revenue with value added tax accounting
for 29 percent of the total revenue while Excise taxes accounted for 25.2 percent.

Grants, the largest component of non-tax revenue, was Shs.1, 146.4 billion accounting for 8.9 percent of total
revenue in 2015/16. This was about 23.2 percent increase in grants received by Government in comparison to
2014/15. ([See Appendix Tables 4.3 B (a) & 4.3 B (b)].

The revenue collection has significantly increased since 2012/13 with the largest contributor being the central
government tax revenue and the lowest being the other Non-tax revenue (i.e. Property income & income from
Sale of goods and services such as the administrative fees, fines and penalties etc). VAT and Excise duties
have had an upward trend since FY 2012/13, while the export taxes (mainly taxes on hides and skin) have
remained relatively low over the period under review.

4.4.3 Central Government Expenditure

Central Government expenditure for 2015/16 was shs. 13,708.9 billion compared to the shs. 11,352.9 billion
spent in 2014/15 which was a 20.8 percent increment. Out of the total Central Government expenditure for
2015/16, the recurrent expenditure was shs. 6,984.6 billion while development and Donor expenditure were
Shs 3,444.3 billion and shs 3,280 billion, respectively. Public administration sector spending continued to
overshadow other sectors in recurrent expenditure accounting for 47.2 percent of total recurrent expenditure,
followed by the defense sector with 17.3 percent. Public order and safety accounted for 12.1 percent while
community development had the least share of recurrent expenditure of about 1.7 percent.

110
During the FY 2015/16, the percentage share of the roads sub-sector under the other economic affairs sector,
took the largest share (39.7 percent) of the Central Government development expenditure. The lowest
development expenditure was in the health sector accounting for only 3.3 percent of total development
expenditure. [See Appendix Tables 4.3 C (b) & 4.3 D (b))

Donor expenditure increased significantly by 70.8 percent from 1,920.5 billion in 2014/15 to 3,280 billion in
2015/16. This increment is attributed to the increase in the expenditure in the energy sector which accounted
for 36.7 percent of total donor expenditure in 2015/16. Specifically, the funding was spent on the Karuma and
Isimba hydro power projects as a way of enhancing hydroelectricity production. Substantial funds were also
spent on the road maintenance and construction sector accounting for 10.3 percent of total donor expenditure
in 2015/16.

For FY 2015/16, Local government total expenditure rose to 2,555.1 billion from 2,380.0 billion in 2014/15
which was 7.4 percent increase in local government expenditure. The Education sector took the largest
proportion of Local government expenditure accounting for 49.8 percent of the total local government
expenditure, followed by public administration and health sectors accounting for 21.4 percent and 15.1 percent
of the total expenditure.

Total districts expenditure increased from 2,137.1 billion spent in 2014/15 to 2,309.8 billion in 2015/16. Districts
expense (recurrent expenditure) was 2,115.7 billion in 2015/16 compared to 1,957.5 spent in 2014/15
indicating an 8.1 percent increase in district expense. On the other hand, the districts acquired assets worth
194.1 billion in 2015/16 while in 2014/15, the assets acquired amounted to 179.6 billion. Meanwhile
municipalities’ expenditure increased from 242.9 billion in 2014/14 to 245.3 billion in 2014/15. [See Appendix
