Mpigi District is a district in Central Uganda. Like most other Ugandan districts, it is named after its 'main town', Mpigi.

Location

Mpigi District is bordered by Wakiso District to the north and east, Kalangala District to the south, Kalungu District to the southwest, Butambala District to the west and Mityana District to the northwest. The town of Mpigi, where the district headquarters are located, lies approximately {{convert|37|km|mi}}, by road, west of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.[1] The coordinates of the district are:00 14N, 32 20E.

Overview

In the 1970s Mpigi District comprised the Buganda Kingdom counties of Kyaddondo, Busiro, Mawokota, Butambala and Gomba. During the 1990s, Kyaddondo and Busiro were peeled off to form Wakiso District. In 2010, Gomba split off to form Gomba District and Butambala became Butambala District.[2] Mawokota remained as the sole constituent of Mpigi District.[3]

Population

In 1991, the district population was estimated at about 157,400. The next census in 2002 estimated the population of the district at about 187,800, with an annual growth rate of 1.4%. In 2012, the population of Mpigi District was estimated at approximately 215,500.[4] The district is primarily a rural district, with only 8.4% of the population living in urban areas.

Education

Mpigi is one of the few areas in Uganda and likely the whole of Africa to have Humanist schools. The Uganda Humanist Schools Trust UHST sponsors 3 Humanist schools with the support of the International Humanist Ethical Union.
