International boundaries (NIMA, 1997), district administrative boundaries (UBOS, 2006a), subcounty administrative boundaries (UBOS, 2002a), water bodies (NFA, 1996; NIMA, 1997; Brakenridge et al., 2006), and livestock production systems (Thornton et al., 2002).
This map shows the prevalence of rangeland-based livestock-only systems (tan colors) across the north. Uganda’s largest livestock production area falls in the mixed rainfed crop-livestock category in the humid and subhumid zone (medium shade of turquoise) across the center of the country. The dark turquoise areas are the mixed rainfed crop-livestock system in the temperate and tropical highland zone, seen in the higher altitude areas of southern and western Uganda and along the Kenyan border in eastern Uganda.
