How is the rising cost of living impacting Ugandans?

In the markets and canteens of Kampala, price hikes are starting to bite

When Alan arrived in Kampala this week, the first thing he noticed was fewer cars on the road. With petrol prices rising, people are thinking twice about using their cars.

And the impact is being felt in the markets too. The cost of staple food has shot up in recent months, with some prices almost doubling.

So, in the first of two episodes looking at the cost of living, Alan went down to the market to find out how people are adapting to price hikes.
