Enkiiko z'Amasaza (County Meetings)

The objective of Enkiiko z'Amasaza to enable Ttabamiruka '07 attendees who hail from the same Buganda county (ssaza) to network and discuss issues of common interest. Parents will introduce their children and discuss ideas on how to develop or promote their home counties. There will also be education on the history and unique challenges and opportunities for the individual counties.

Please visit the Volunteers page to see how you can contribute to the success of this part of Ttabamiruka '07 by becoming a volunteer.

Historical Background to Buganda Counties

The eighteen counties of Buganda (amasaza) listed below are the building blocks of the greater Buganda kingdom nation that is located in the center of Uganda and bordering Tanzania to the south.

Each of the Buganda counties has a special role in Buganda's culture and history. Indeed, the traditional way for a Muganda to introduce himself or herself (okulanya) includes personal names, father, grandfather, lineage details and ancestral home (obutaka). The ancestral home is stated as village (ekyaalo) and county (ssaza).
