State of Uganda Population Report (SUPRE) 2021
Each year, the National Population Council in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) produce the The State of Uganda Population Report 2021 and launch it concurrently with the State of World Population Report (SWoP). This occasion provides an opportunity for Ugandans and development partners to take stock of the population and development concerns in the country.
The State of Uganda Population Report (SUPRE) is an annual publication of the National Population Council (NPC), produced since 2001 with the objective of advancing advocacy for population and development by highlighting the issues that impede the achievement of national development and undermine the progress towards achieving quality of life for the people of Uganda. The report also provides options for policy and decision making in relation to population and development matters.
The theme for this year’s State of Uganda Population Report is “COVID-19 AND BEYOND : PROSPECTS FOR HARNESSING THE DEMOGRAPHIC DIVIDEND. The 2021 State of Uganda Population Report underscores the importance of investing in the population amidst the global pandemic. The report outlines a number of strategic recommendations and some of the policy frameworks that Uganda needs to put in place.
