Uganda with a huge chance to turn its high
population growth rates into a demographic
dividend.

severely affected by the urban sprawl.
• Lack of a reliable public transportation system and
sufficient road connections.
• Deficit of affordable and quality housing (2.2M
units). The backlog is expected to increase to 8M
units by 2030.
