The topic of the study was Impact of Small Scale Enterprises on Employment Creation in Uganda : a case study of Nakawa Division-Kampala District. The problem for this study was high rate of Unemployment in Uganda amidst existence of many smallscale enterprises. The objectives of the study were: to determine the growth level of employment Nakawa Division; to establish the level of growth of SMES in Nakawa Division-Kampala and to establish the effects of SMES on Employment Creation in Nakawa Division-Kampala. 

The researcher used quantitative and qualitative research approaches; which specifically consisted of descriptive co-relational design and crosssectional design. The findings revealed the following: From the findings of the study, on respondents’ background information the researcher concluded that majority of respondents in this sample were in their early adulthood age, that is, 30-39 years, there are more males than females in Nakawa Division employed in these Enterprises, majority of individuals in Nakawa Division are generally not well educated,; It can also be concluded that the effects of small scale enterprise on employment creation is significant at O~05 percent because the probability value is less than 0~O5 level of significance.

The researcher recommended that the government should reduce on the taxes that these small-scale enterprises pay in order for more jobs to be created and research should also be conducted before establishing any enterprises and before acquiring any financial assistance~ By doing these, the enterprises will grow and more jobs will be created in the long run.
