About the flag

The flag of Uganda features a black-yellow-red horizontal stripe pattern with a white circle at the center, housing the emblem of a grey crowned crane. This crane, Uganda's national bird, symbolizes the beauty of the country and its commitment to conservation. The colors represent the people of Uganda (black), the wealth of the land (yellow), and the struggles for independence (red). Uganda's flag was adopted in 1962 when the country gained independence from British colonial rule. Each element tells the story of Uganda's identity and heritage, making it easier to remember the flag’s significance. By associating the flag's unique design with Uganda's wildlife and the symbolism of independence, learners can enhance their ability to recognize and recall this emblem among others.
