The proportion of Ugandan households \n living in poverty reduced by more than half between 1993 and \n 2013. Using household survey data, this paper analyzes \n nonmonetary dimensions of poverty in Uganda for levels and \n trends, to explore whether the observed reduction in \n monetary-based poverty are reflected in the nonmonetary \n indicators of poverty. The results show that Uganda's \n progress in reducing poverty is strongly reflected in \n several nonmonetary indicators of poverty. The analysis \n finds that the trends in many nonmonetary indicators are \n consistent with the trend of monetary-based measure of \n poverty. The paper also examines whether progress has been \n as fast as would be expected, given Uganda's impressive \n performance in reducing poverty. Overall, the evidence \n indicates that progress on nonmonetary poverty was \n consistent with expectations, and faster than what would be \n expected, for some indicators, based on other \n countries' experiences. This finding is similar to \n Uganda's progress on reducing monetary poverty, which \n is also at the expected level based on experience in other countries.
