The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) has announced a detailed release calendar for a series of major national survey and census reports expected over the next two months, providing critical data to guide policy, planning and public debate.
In a public statement issued in Kampala on Friday, UBOS said the reports will be disseminated between March and May 2026 and will cover a wide range of sectors including health, poverty, education, labour and aquaculture.
This will be followed on March 19 by the Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children (OVC) Census Monograph 2024 – Volume 4, which will highlight the living conditions and welfare challenges affecting vulnerable children.
According to the schedule, the first report, the Uganda Malaria Indicator Survey (UMIS) 2025, will be released on March 12, offering updated insights into malaria prevalence, prevention measures and treatment trends across the country.
On March 26, UBOS will publish the Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) Census Monograph 2024 – Volume 5, a report expected to provide a deeper analysis of poverty levels beyond income by examining factors such as education, health and living standards.
In April, three additional reports will be released starting with the Baseline Education Census (BEC) Report 2025 on April 9. The report will give an overview of the education sector, including school infrastructure, staffing levels and student enrollment patterns.
The Labour Market Survey Report 2025 is scheduled for release on April 16 and is expected to provide data on employment, unemployment, labour participation and working conditions.
A week later, on April 23, UBOS will publish the National Human Resource (Manpower) Survey Report 2025, which examines workforce skills, professional distribution and the country’s human capital needs.
The Uganda Aquaculture Census (UAC) Report 2025, set for April 30, will present findings on fish farming activities, production trends and sector growth potential.
The final release will come on May 7 with the Uganda Harmonized Indicator Survey (UHIS) covering Wave I and Wave II (2021–2024) as well as Wave III (2025). The survey compiles a wide range of household socio-economic indicators used for national development planning.
UBOS said all the reports will be uploaded on its official website on the respective release dates to ensure easy access by policymakers, researchers and the public.
“UBOS assures all stakeholders of high-quality official statistics for evidence-based planning, decision making and informed public debate,” said Chris N. Mukiza, the Executive Director and Chief Statistician of UBOS.
Mukiza encouraged government institutions, development partners, researchers and the private sector to utilize the data to inform policy formulation and development programmes.
The statistical body added that the new reports will complement previously published national data sets, strengthening Uganda’s capacity to make data-driven decisions across key sectors of the economy.
