The Anglican ecclesiastical province of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi was formed in 1961 following the division of the diocese of Uganda the previous year. In 1960, the Diocese of Uganda was separated and in 1961 the smaller dioceses made a separate Province, under the Archbishop of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. Prior to 1980, the province included Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Boga, in what was then the country of Zaire. As of August 2025 [update] , the Church of Uganda is divided into 39 dioceses and is under the Archbishop of Uganda and Bishop of Kampala. [1]
