I designed this web site as a learning/teaching site for Ugandan pupils and teachers of geography in lower secondary school in particular, and anybody else who would like to learn something about Uganda's economic activities. The website contains some background information about the country. This is important if one is to understand and appreciate the economic activities of Uganda. For example, it is helpful to know something about the Lake Victoria basin and the River Nile basin because these two water bodies have a great influence on agricultural activity in the region. Over 80% of Ugandans depend on agriculture for their livelihood.

The site also contains selected photographs, maps and charts in addition to brief and informative notes on various aspects of the economy. Useful links for supplementary resources are also provided for further reading. Most of the information provided in the web site is less than 10 years old and hence is relatively up-to-date.

In addition, the site contains some exercises that can be used to test one's ability to recall, to discuss and to explain geographical concepts. There is a form provided for feedback on any points of interest or concern on the website. Users can ask the teacher questions on the topics listed or on any other area of Ugandan geography.
