The Republic of Uganda is a landlocked country located in east Africa. It is bordered by Kenya, Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Tanzania. The total size is 236,000 km² and the population is 30.9 million.

Uganda has significant natural resources, including fertile soils, sizeable mineral deposits of copper and cobalt and recently found commercially viable oil deposits. Agriculture forms the base of the economy contributing to 24% of the gross domestic product and with 77% of the workforce employed in the sector. The importance of agriculture input in the economy has recently declined in favour of industry and services. The country has had over 20 years of uninterrupted growth, which has contributed to poverty reduction from 56% in 1993 to 31%. However, concerns about continued growth have arisen due to international crisis, high population growth, corruption and stalled reform programmes and the unsolved conflict with rebels in the North.
