Abstract

This report presents the first estimates of Consensual Approach multidimensional adult and child poverty in Uganda, using adult and child-specific measures of multidimensional poverty. It shows that adult and child poverty in Uganda have a clear geographical distribution and concentration, with high multidimensional poverty rates in the north. However, the subcounty-level poverty estimates also suggest that poverty is very high in the north east, the south west and some areas in the north west. Moreover, although adults and children in Kampala experience lower rates, the distribution of poverty within Kampala is not homogeneous, and there are parishes with child poverty rates of up to three times higher than the average. Finally, we show that many of these small area spatial patterns match the distribution of public services, such as distance to public health facilities and primary schools. ho This report showcases best practice from the literature while keeping to a minimum technical language. It aims to be a comprehensive and accessible analysis of the spatial patterning and concentration of multidimensional poverty in Uganda and also provide a user-friendly and step-by-step framework for future SAE analyses in Uganda.
