Pallisa District Local Government is one of the service centers empowered by the constitution of the Republic of Uganda and the Local Government’s Act (LGA) 1997, to carry out the planning functions in a framework of national and local priorities of the population. The District has a long historical trend which resulted into its creation. It was curved out of Tororo (Former Bukedi District). This happened on March, 1991 before Tororo gave birth to two other functional units of Busia and Butaleja districts. However it should be noted that Pallisa had acquired district status as early as 1976 as North Bukedi District but this was revoked immediately after the liberation war of 1979. The evolution of Budaka and Kibuku Counties into districts on 1^st July 2006 and 1^st July 2010 respectively, changed the geographical and demographic environment of Pallisa. The district is now composed of three counties, fourteen Sub-counties and three Town councils.
