## Overview

[edit]

Prior to 2001, Mulawa was a residential and farming village. In 2001, a law was passed, incorporating the village into the newly created Kira Municipality, a large urban center in Uganda, with a population of 317,157 during the 2014 national census, and an estimated population of about 434,200 in 2019.[3]

During the 21st century, Mulawa has developed into a middle-class residential neighborhood, with planned housing developments. Many of the new housing units include high-rise apartment complexes and condominiums, as well as large upscale, gated private residencies. Mulawa is connected to the national power grid administered by the power utility company called Umeme. It is also connected to the water pipeline of the National Water and Sewerage Corporation.[1][4]

In addition to the residential developments, public and private service establishments have sprung up, including schools, health clinics, gasoline service stations, grocery stores, supermarkets and hardware stores.[1][4]
