Description: "Uganda's population has been growing at a high rate of mor than 3 per cent over the last 30 years mainly due to high fertility, resulting in Uganda's population being one of the youngest populations in the world ... However, the past 15 years have seen the beginning of a decline in the fertility levels signalling the onset of opportunity for turning around the country's development profile to achieve the much desired socio-economic transformation ... The National Planning Authority will work with Government Agencies, Civil Society Organisations, the private sector and Development Partners to identify critical interventions that will make a difference in the lives of the country's population especially the young persons to prepare for the socio-economic transformation process."--Forword
