    (Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019-02) Mbusa, Jockim
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between creation of new districts and economic development of Uganda. The study was guided by three research objectives specifically to examine the pattern for the creation of local government jurisdiction in Selected Sub-Counties, assess the political, economic and socio-cultural reasons for the creation of local government jurisdictions and assess the challenges that frequent creation of districts poses to economic development. The study was covered using a descriptive survey study research design which seemed applicable to examine the relationship between creation of new districts and economic development. The study was based on a structured questionnaire which seemed suitable in a survey that involves a large number of respondents. A total of 144 employees were randomly selected, although at last only 74 were retrieved. Data was analyzed using frequency tables and percentages and the study concluded that the creation of new districts is based on a pattern of bringing services closer, although the legal procedures are at times not followed. The study recommends the government to consider the outcry of different local communities especially health to reduce on the maternal mortality rates and also improving livelihoods of the community because a healthy free community creates development.
