This map highlights the rural subcounties with safe drinking water coverage rates below 60 percent.

This map shows the proportion of the rural subcounty population with safe drinking water coverage.

This map shows poverty density (defined as the number of poor persons per square kilometer) for rural subcounties.

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.

In this map, all the wetlands at greatest risk of degradation are selected and overlaid with the poverty level in the surrounding subcounties.

The Sezibwa wetland system is one of the four proposed sites to monitor long-term ecological and socioeconomic trends in Uganda’s wetlands. Map A shows the location and extent of this system.

The number of different products that could be potentially obtained from a wetland is closely related to the type of vegetation cover and level of wetness.

This map highlights four different uses—beekeeping, fishing, hunting, and cultivation—which occur in less than 50 percent of Uganda’s wetlands.

Beekeeping (which occurs in 11 percent of all
