Statistics is the backbone of informed decision-making. Governments, businesses, and organizations rely on statistical data to plan, allocate resources, and develop policies. In Uganda, the role of statistics in shaping national development strategies has become more critical than ever.

How Statistics Impacts Policy

Resource Allocation – Budgeting and resource distribution are optimized using statistical insights to address areas of need.

Evidence-Based Decision Making – Policymakers use statistical data to assess economic trends, population growth, and public health indicators.

Monitoring and Evaluation – Programs and projects are evaluated based on statistical evidence to measure effectiveness and impact.

USS’s Contribution to Policy Development

The Uganda Statistical Society (USS) actively engages in research, data analysis, and capacity-building initiatives to ensure that statistics are widely understood and effectively utilized in policy formulation.

As Uganda moves towards a data-driven future, statistics will remain a crucial tool for sustainable development. The USS continues to champion the use of statistics for evidence-based policy and planning.
