Geography can play a role in determining relative levels of household well-being, as can be seen in Uganda’s latest poverty maps (for 2005).

These maps give a visual representation of average livestock densities in number of animals per square kilometer of cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, and poultry in subcounties across Uganda, drawing on

The 11.4 million head of cattle counted in Uganda’s 2008 national livestock census are not evenly distributed across the districts. Kotido, Nakapiripirit, and Kaabong are the districts with the

This map shows the prevalence of rangeland-based livestock-only systems (tan colors) across the north.

This map shows the percentage of households relying on open sources of drinking water, such as lakes, streams, etc., and therefore at risk of waterborne diseases attributed to unsafe sources.

This map shows the densities of households without access to improved sanitation in each subcounty.

The more darkly shaded areas have the highest density of households without adequate sanitation,

This map displays the poverty density (the number of poor people per square km) for subcounties that had not achieved Uganda’s interim national rural target of 58 percent improved sanitation coverag

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.
