The study reveals that a variation in the distribution of undernutrition throughout the country. Significant spatial patterns associated with undernutrition as identified through the hotspot and cold spot analysis do exist in Uganda. Programs targeting to reduce the undernutrition of under-five children in Uganda should consider the spatial distribution of undernutrition and its determinants whereby priority should be given to hotspot areas. The spatial intensity of undernutrition and its determinants indicate that focus should be tailored to meet the local needs as opposed to a holistic national approach
