Uganda

Uganda rests in East-Central Africa, west of Kenya and east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It gained independence from the UK in October 1962 and has grown to a population of 35,873,253 people. Occupying 2,698 km, Uganda’s natural resources include fertile soils, regular rainfall, small deposits of copper, gold, and other minerals, and recently discovered oil.  Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy, employing over 80% of the work force.
