Uganda+Info!

Dan Taylor 3/26/08 Uganda Information

Uganda’s population is 30,262,610. Its population growth rate is 3.572%. Their infant mortality rate is 67.22 deaths per 1000 births. 4.1% of people in Uganda have HIV/AIDS. Uganda’s life expectancy is about 51.75 years. The literacy rate is 66.8% in Uganda. The GDP in Uganda is $11.14 billion, and its per capita GDP is $1,100. 82% of the population in Uganda works in agriculture. The Human Development Index in Uganda is 0.505. The most valuable economic resources are oil, natural gas, and coffee. Agriculture is a big part.

This information tells me that Uganda is a typical African country. Uganda has a lot of HIV/AIDS and its life expectancy is short just like a majority of the African countries. Another thing that tells me that Uganda is a typical African country is that 82% of the population works in agriculture.

Uganda Issues

1.) HIV/AIDS is still a problem but Uganda has seen a decrease in these diseases. 2.) Another problem in Uganda is their health care is really bad. 3.) Another problem that connects to the health care problem is that Uganda’s per capita GDP is only $1,100. So the Ugandans can’t afford health care.
