Using household survey data, this paper analyzes nonmonetary dimensions of poverty in Uganda for levels and trends, to explore whether the observed reduction in monetary-based poverty are reflected in the nonmonetary indicators of poverty. The results show that Uganda's progress in reducing poverty is strongly reflected in several nonmonetary indicators of poverty.

Overall, the evidence indicates that progress on nonmonetary poverty was consistent with expectations, and faster than what would be expected, for some indicators, based on other countries' experiences. This finding is similar to Uganda's progress on reducing monetary poverty, which is also at the expected level based on experience in other countries. 2017-07-17T21:29:13Z 2017-07-17T21:29:13Z 2017-06 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/916971498245316443/Beyond-income-poverty-nonmonetary-dimensions-of-poverty-in-Uganda http://hdl.handle.net/10986/27609 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 8111 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Africa Uganda
