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.

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 Uganda National Wetlands Policy commits the Government to “the conservation of wetlands in order to sustain their ecological and socio-economic functions for the present and future well-being of
