The Uganda Bureau of Statistics collaborates with several government ministries on three major data collection projects: a Baseline Education Census, an Aquaculture Census, and a Labour Market Survey. UBOS Director Dr. Chris Mukiza promised that all information would remain confidential. The projects aim to gather accurate statistics for national planning purposes.
The education census covers all learning facilities across Uganda. It started on April 7 and runs through June 30, beginning in Greater Kampala. Officials want to count every student accurately and assess school infrastructure nationwide. Parents must provide their children's correct birth dates and identification numbers.
Fish farming comes next on the agenda, with the Aquaculture Census starting in May. Workers will visit every fish farm to document production levels, technologies used, and environmental impacts. The census aims to create complete records of both household and commercial aquaculture operations throughout the country.
The Labour Market Survey has already begun, with staff collecting information from households and businesses. This research tracks job market changes to help government planning. UBOS asks all local authorities, stakeholders, and citizens to cooperate with census takers in collecting this important information.
