1. Overview

The colonial boundaries created by Britain to delimit Uganda grouped together a wide range of ethnic groups with different political systems and cultures. These differences prevented the establishment of a working political community after independence was achieved in 1962. The dictatorial regime of Idi AMIN (1971-79) was responsible for the deaths of some 300,000 opponents; guerrilla war and human rights abuses under Milton OBOTE (1980-85) claimed at least another 100,000 lives. The rule of Yoweri MUSEVENI since 1986 has brought relative stability and economic growth to Uganda. During the 1990s, the government promulgated non-party presidential and legislative elections.

CIA's The World Factbook (2013)9

Book CoverThis petite nation punches well above its weight in terms of nature. Its lush forests reverberate with life and their canopies shield hundreds of bird and mammal species, including half the planet´s mountain gorillas. Emerging from the shadows of its dark history, a new dawn of tourism has risen in Uganda, polishing a glint back into the `pearl of Africa´. Travellers are streaming in to explore what is basically the best of everything the continent has to offer.

For a relatively small country, there´s a lot that´s big about the place. It´s home to the tallest mountain range in Africa, the world´s longest river and the continent´s largest lake. And with half the remaining mountain gorillas residing here, and the Big Five to be ticked off, wildlife watching is huge.

While anti-gay sentiments have cast a shadow on the otherwise positive tourism picture, and tensions continue to simmer with the Karamojong in the northeast, Uganda remains one of the safest destinations in Africa. Other than watching out for the odd hippo at your campsite, there´s no more to worry about here than in most other countries.

The United Nations produces an annual Human Development Report which includes the Human Development Index. The factors taken into account include life expectancy, education and schooling and Gross National Income (GNI) amongst many others..

The Social and Moral Development Index concentrates on moral issues and human rights, violence, public health, equality, tolerance, freedom and effectiveness in climate change mitigation and environmentalism, and on some technological issues. A country scores higher for achieving well in those areas, and for sustaining that achievement in the long term. Those countries towards the top of this index can truly said to be setting good examples and leading humankind onwards into a bright, humane, and free future. See: Which are the Best Countries in the World? The Social and Moral Development Index.

3. Uganda's Demographics and Migration

#birth_control #demographics #health #immigration #life_expectancy #longevity #migration #overpopulation #population

Population:

Uganda's population is predicted to rise to 59.85 million by 2030. These millions of extra people will all need space to live, food to eat, energy to consume, and will increase the burden on the planet's resources. This country has a fertility rate of 5.95. The fertility rate is, in simple terms, the average amount of children that each woman has. The higher the figure, the quicker the population is growing, although, to calculate the rate you also need to take into account morbidity, i.e., the rate at which people die. If people live healthy and long lives and morbidity is low, then, 2.0 approximates to the replacement rate, which would keep the population stable. If all countries had such a fertility rate, population growth would end. The actual replacement rate in most developed countries is around 2.1.

Uganda is generally poor at ensuring human rights and freedom compared to the rest of the world. Uganda comes in the best 20 when it comes to its success in fighting anti-semitic prejudice20. It does better than average when it comes to speed of uptake of HR treaties21, its nominal commitment to Human Rights22 and in freethought23. Uganda doesn't do so well in other areas. Uganda does worse than average for commentary in Human Rights Watch reports24, supporting personal, civil & economic freedoms25 (still good for Africa), supporting press freedom26, opposing gender inequality27 (still low for Africa) and in LGBT equality28. 'The government of President Yoweri Museveni, in power since 1986, continues to violate free association, expression, and assembly rights'29.

The countries with the best overall approach to public health, in terms of both public policy and individual lifestyle choices, are Monaco, Hong Kong and The Maldives30. These countries are worth emulating. And, although often through no fault of the average citizen, the worst countries are The Marshall Islands, S. Sudan and Palau30.

The data sets used to calculate points for each country are its average life expectancy, its alcohol consumption rate, its fertility rate, its smoking rate, its suicide rate, its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance, the prevalence of overweight adults, its adolescent birth rate and its immunizations take-up. The regions with the best average results per country are Scandinavia, Asia and The Mediterranean30, whereas the worst are Micronesia, Australasia and Africa30.

Health:

Uganda is a pretty unhealthy country. Uganda comes in the best 20 in its smoking rate32 (one of the best in Africa). But that's it. Uganda has problems. It does worse than average for its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance33 (still good for Africa), its alcohol consumption rate34, its immunizations take-up35 and in its average life expectancy11. And finally, it sits amongst the bottom 20 in terms of its adolescent birth rate27 and in its fertility rate14. The number of overweight adults has increased by 14% over the past 40 years.
