The aim of the 1900 Buganda Agreement was to establish a formal agreement between the British colonial government and the Kingdom of Buganda in present-day Uganda. The agreement outlined the terms of the relationship between Buganda and the British, including the recognition of Buganda as a protectorate of the British Empire and the establishment of a system of indirect rule. The agreement also defined the roles and responsibilities of the Buganda king (Kabaka) and the British colonial authorities, and laid the foundation for the administration of Buganda under British colonial rule.
