Overview

Before 2001, Nsasa was a residential and farming village. In 2001, a law was passed incorporating the village into the newly created Kira Municipality, the second largest urban center in Uganda, with an estimated population of about 180,000 in 2011.[3]

During the 21st century, Nsasa has developed into a middle-class residential neighbourhood, with planned housing developments and large private farms and ranches. Nsasa is connected to the national power grid and to the water pipeline of the National Water and Sewerage Corporation. The high voltage electricity transmission line from Bujagali Power Station to the Umeme substation at Kawanda, passes through Nsasa.
