Policy Briefs:
AFIDEP led various stakeholders to develop Uganda’s demographic dividend (DD) roadmap, a process that turned the President, who was previously opposed to family planning(FP) interventions, into an FP champion.
« In order for [our] big population to be advantageous like in India, China and Brazil, we [also] need to invest in education, health, infrastructure development and job creation. That is why I am happy that the issue [on family planning] is now being looked at from the Demographic Dividend perspective…,” he emphasized. “…If all [we] do is control the population and reduce fertility without looking at the other factors, [we] won’t go far as a country, » President H.E. Yoweri Museveni
The President said this while launching the country’s DD report: ‘Harnessing the Demographic Dividend: Accelerating Socioeconomic Transformation in Uganda.’ The report was commissioned by Uganda’s National Planning Authority (NPA), and developed by various stakeholders led by AFIDEP.
