Uganda: Poverty Density in Rural Subcounties with Safe Drinking Water Coverage Below 20 Percent
Credit:

International boundaries (NIMA, 1997), district administrative boundaries (UBOS, 2006b), subcounty administrative boundaries (UBOS, 2002a), water bodies (NFA, 1996; NIMA, 1997; Brakenridge et al., 2006), rural safe drinking water coverage rate (DWD, 2008), and rural poverty density (UBOS and ILRI, 2008).

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.

This map displays the poverty density (the number of poor people per square km) in the 26 rural subcounties with the lowest safe drinking water coverage rates.
