  6. Economy: • The largest sector in Uganda like most of the African countries is agriculture. • However, the mining and industrial sector also plays a major role. • Whether the recently discovered oil reserves will contribute decisively to its economy remains an open question. • A very huge potential for the economic development lies in the tourism sector.

  9. Link has been working in Uganda since 2000. • Link’s Uganda School Improvement Programme is focused on the rural and poor districts of Masindi, Buliisa, Kiryandongo and Kamwenge. • Our work in Uganda is focused at district level on building the capacity of schools, their communities and their supporting structures.

  10. We offer sustainable training and ongoing support at a number of levels for district and school leaders, teachers, and communities. Along with teacher training, we focus on building skills in literacy and numeracy, leadership and financial and curriculum management. • We support the schools we work with to engage in international teacher exchange and school partnership programmes through our Link Schools Programme and our Global Teachers Programme (in Scotland and Ireland).

  11. Link operate programmes in 4 districts: Masindi Less than a quarter of pupils who start their primary education will complete it. It is estimated that in 2010, the population of the district was approximately 285,200. Buliisa The district has just one teacher for every 77 pupils. It was estimated that the population of Buliisa District in 2010 was approximately 88,700 and the annual population growth rate is estimated at 4.0%. Kiryandongo The exact population of Kiryandongo is not known. However, it is estimated that for a radius of 7 kilometres (4.3 mi), from the centre of town, the total population is approximately 13,400, as of January 2011. Kamwenge In this district, there is a lack of awareness of the right to education, leading to a low level of community involvement with schools. It is estimated that in 2010, the population of the district was approximately 363,200.
