In the upcoming Uganda National Population Census scheduled for May 10, 2024, individuals will be required to provide details about their clan affiliation.
This includes identifying which clan each member of the household belongs to.
This census, the sixth in the country’s history, will have a census night on May 9, 2024, aiming to gather data on the number of Ugandans, their welfare, and the quality of social service delivery.
Additionally, for the first time, the census will collect information on the clan characteristics of households, a request made by cultural leaders, particularly from the Buganda Kingdom, according to Katikiro, Charles Peter Mayiga.
