Welcome to the PEARL Geoportal

The PEARL geoportal is a centralized data access point for the geospatial data collected and provided by the various Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies under the Uganda Spatial Data Infrastructure (UGSDI) initiative. The functionality of this portal is designed to allow access to available datasets and the ability to view and download them. This geoportal aims to achieve the goals set out by the UGSDI which include accurate data accessibility and sharing with relevant stakeholders thereby reducing data duplication and redundant costs.

In the Dataset viewer below, major shapefiles under different sectors are rendered to provide the user with an insight into the nature of the data collected and provided on this portal. Comprehensive access to the Shapefile catalog can be found here and here .

How to utilize this Geoportal

The Geoportal datasets have been categorized into 13 sectors which are Administration, Agriculture, Livestock & Fisheries, Education, Energy, Environment, Health, ICT, Infrastructure, Kampala City and Greater Kampala, Minerals, Oil and Gas, Population and Tourism. The Shapefiles have been cataloged according to their respective sectors for easy acquisition and data download.
