Description
The Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (UDHS) was conducted at a time when Uganda needed baseline information for planning and implementing national and regional programmes. The survey was conducted as part of the worldwide Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) programme in which surveys are being carried out in countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Near East. The UDHS used an ample survey designed to collect information on fertility, family planning, and mammal and child health.
