Formation
The Lango sub-region is currently divided into 9 districts of Alerting, Amolatar, Apac, Dokolo,Kole, Lira, Oyam, Otuke and Kwania. It’s a relatively urbanized region with one city in Lira and one municipality in Apac. The region is situated within the annual cropping and cattle-farming systems that are primarily found in Northern Uganda. The region is dry compared to the rest of the country and experiences one long rainy season also called the unimodal type of rainfall, yet farmers can still grow crops twice in a year. Lango is the country’s grain basket and in fact contributing significantly to the GDP.The Lango sub region land area is approximately 12,800Km2. Youth in the age bracket of 15-30 years predominate. Based on the 2014 Population and Housing Census, Lango population at a time was 2 million people and growing at a rate of 3.5% per annum, other things equal, the current population estimate should be 2.43 million people. Adding the number of Lango living in other regions estimated at 0.3million, the total current population estimate of Lango is2.8 million people making 5.8% of Uganda’s population of 48.5 million people. Lango population is growing above the national average population growth of 3.2%. On a negative note, Unemployment is high amongst young people; poverty rate is high at over 60% compared toa national average of only 34 percent. Under 5-year child mortality rate is 177 against 134 nationally. Similarly, primary school enrolment is low with high school dropout rates. There are many reasons for this poor state of the region; some of it centered around war in the past. The key thing to note is that Lango has a strong growing population base with a lifestyle that is potentially linked to economic activities.
