The overall Uganda Policy on eradication of poverty as well as the energy specific policy includes strategies and targets for how to develop energy access and use. Numerous indicators are developed with the objective of providing a tool for monitoring of how well the policy targets are achieved. Timely and reliable information from statistical and administrative sources is urgently needed in order to determine these indicators and thereby to enable for monitoring of policy impacts and guidance for further development. This paper documents the findings and gives recommendations from a study with the objective to assess the available energy related statistics in Uganda in an attempt to link energy statistics to the country's poverty situation. The study was undertaken by Statistics Norway (SN) in close cooperation with the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) during a SN mission to UBOS May 23rd to June 10th, 2005. The Norwegian Government funded the project. The study identifies at least 4 major challenges to overcome: 1) To assemble and harmonize already existing information on energy from a multitude of sources and make it more easily accessible to the users. 2) To further improve the specification of parameters collected in order to fill possible gaps of information and to ensure a core set of information with regular intervals of updates that links the statistics to the policy indicators. 3) To improve the possibilities for regional breakdowns of energy statistics (administrative and socioeconomic divisions). 4) To further explore the link between households and private sectors access to and use of energy to the poverty situation. The main outputs from the study are; an overview over available energy related statistics and producers of such in Uganda; suggestions for combining data from different sources to better feed into agreed indicators; identification of important gaps in the statistics available; suggestions for combining digital maps with geo-referenced information for illustration/dissemination of regional breakdowns of statistics; and last but not at least the present study makes an initial attempt on using household survey data for analyses on the relation energy/poverty. Basically, the study looked into the subject from an UBOS perspective and came up with the following main recommendations: 1) Develop the UBOS website in the direction of a "one stop centre" of energy statistics including hyperlinks to the most important stakeholders. 2) Quantify and publish time-series for policy indicators. 3) Further strengthen the cooperation with other data providers and stakeholders. 4) Improve the statistics, especially concerning fuel-wood and charcoal production and use. The results of the study were presented and discussed in a consultative workshop in Hotel Equatoria in Kampala on June 10th, 2005.
