OVERVIEW

Kampala is the capital and largest city of Uganda.

The city is divided into five boroughs that oversee local planning:

• Kampala Central Division,
• Kawempe Division,
• Makindye Division,
• Nakawa Division, and Rubaga Division.

Surrounding Kampala is the rapidly growing Wakiso District, whose population more than doubled between 2002 and 2014 and now stands at over 2 million.

Kampala was named the 13th fastest growing city on the planet, with an annual population growth rate of 4.03 percent by City Mayors and has been ranked the best city to live in East Africa ahead of Nairobi and Kigali by Mercer, a global development consulting agency based in New York City.
