Uganda’s progress in reducing poverty
from 1993 to 2006 is a remarkable story of success that has
been well told. The narrative of Uganda’s continued, albeit
it slightly slower, progress in reducing poverty since 2006
is less familiar. This was a period in which growth slowed
as the gains from reforms years earlier had been fully
realized, and weak infrastructure and increasing corruption
increasingly constrained private sector competitiveness
(World Bank 2015). This report examines Uganda’s progress in
reducing poverty, with a specific focus on the period 2006
to 2013. The report shows that high growth from 2006 to 2010
benefited poverty reduction. Before turning in further
detail to the key findings of the report, it is important to
note that the analysis undertaken in this report is only
possible because the Government of Uganda has invested in a
high quality series of household surveys to document
progress in wellbeing since 1993. The Uganda Bureau of
Statistics has conducted high-quality household surveys that
every three to four years that have provided a comparable
series of data on poverty and other household
characteristics for the last twenty years. Uganda is one of
the few countries in the region to have achieved this level
of comparable, frequent poverty monitoring over time.
Without this, it would not be possible to document the
lessons Uganda provides. |
