Uganda National Data Landscape Mapping Report 2021

Uganda has a robust legal and policy regime governing its National Statistical System. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) Act of 1998 which established the bureau was one of the first statistics laws to be promulgated in the East African region. The Act (currently under review to cater for latest developments in the world of data and statistics since its inception) defines the National Statistical System and the role of different stakeholders in it, the rules guiding production and dissemination of official statistics, quality assurance and the boundaries of access to data.
