The agreement was negotiated by Alfred Tucker, Bishop of Uganda, and signed by, among others, Buganda's Katikiro Apollo Kagwa, on the behalf of the Kabaka (Daudi 
Chwa) who was at that time an infant, and Sir Harry Johnston on the behalf of the British colonial government.

Buganda would henceforth be a province of the Protectorate, and would be transformed into a constitutional monarchy with the power of the Lukiiko (advisory council) greatly enhanced and the role of the Kabaka reduced.
The British also gained the right to veto future choices of the Kabaka, and control of numerous other appointments.
These provisions concerning the roles of the Kabaka and Lukiiko were largely reversed by the Buganda Agreement of 1961.

The agreement stated that the Kabaka should exercise direct rule over the natives of Buganda administering justice through the Lukiiko and his officials.
It also solidified the power of the largely Protestant Bakungu client-chiefs, led by Kagwa.
The British sent only a few officials to administer the country, relying primarily on the Bakungu chiefs.
 For decades they were preferred because of their political skills, their Christianity, their friendly relations with the British, their ability to collect taxes, and the proximity of Entebbe to the Buganda capital.
By the 1920s the British administrators were more confident, and had less need for military or administrative support.

By fixing the northern boundary of Buganda as the River Kafu, the agreement formalized Colvile's 1894 promise that Buganda would receive certain territories in exchange for their support against the Bunyoro.
Two of the 'lost counties' (Buyaga and Bugangaizi) were returned to the Bunyoro following the Ugandan lost counties referendum of 1964.
