Central Region, Administrative region in Kampala, Uganda.
The Central Region spans across 61,403 square kilometers and includes 24 districts with a population exceeding 9.5 million inhabitants according to 2014 data.
This administrative region corresponds to the former Kingdom of Buganda, which maintained semi-autonomous governance under British colonial rule until 1962.
The Central Region contains multiple sites related to Baganda traditions, including the Kasubi Tombs, which preserve the burial grounds of former kings.
The region maintains direct administrative connections with national authorities, bypassing intermediate governance levels for more efficient district management.
With Lake Victoria bordering its southern edge, the Central Region generates substantial hydroelectric power from the Nnalubaale and Kiira power stations.
