This map displays the poverty rate (the percent of the population below the poverty line) for subcounties that had not achieved Uganda’s interim national rural target of 58 percent improved sanitation

This map highlights the rural subcounties that had not attained the Uganda’s interim national rural target of 58 percent of improved sanitation coverage (HSSP I) in 2002.

This map shows the spatial distribution of improved sanitation coverage data by subcounty.

Planners can use this map to identify areas of progress as well as underachieving locations.

Note: Seven subcounties in Kaabong District, all with safe drinking water coverage below 20 percent, are not shown in this map because reliable poverty estimates were not available for 2005.

Uganda Wetland Maps Will Help Reduce Poverty, Boost Economy

Uganda’s leaders now have access to maps that will allow them—for the first time ever—to reduce poverty through better management of the country’s wetlands.

Of the 514 subcounties with papyrus wetlands, 210 could harvest and sell enough raw papyrus to theoretically close the poverty gap within their administrative unit.

This map presents the total annual revenue that could be obtained from harvesting all papyrus areas in each subcounty.
