Early life and education

Birungi was born in the 1960s in the Toro sub-region. After attending local primary schools, he enrolled into Nyakasura School, a mixed, boarding, middle, and high school in Fort Portal, Kabarole District, in the Western Region of Uganda. He graduated from Nyakasura with a High School Diploma.[3]

He obtained his first degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, from Makerere University, the oldest and largest public university in Uganda. His second degree, a Master of Science in Economics was obtained from the University of Pretoria in South Africa. He also has a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Economics, also from the same university.[4]

Career

Starting in the 1990s, Birungi worked as an economist in various roles, including with the National Drug Authority.[4] From 1992 until 2008, he lectured at Makerere University, rising to the position of Senior Lecturer, by the time he left. For a three year period, between 2007 and 2010, he was the National Economist for Uganda, at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).[3]

Prior to his current position, he spent nearly nine years at the National Planning Authority of Uganda, serving there as the Director of Development Planning.[3][5][6]

While there, he was directly involved in the formulation of the National Development Plan I (2010–2015) and the National Development Plan II (2015–2020).[7][8]
