It analyzes why progress in poverty reduction has been limited, emphasizing frequent shocks, limited safety nets, and vulnerability linked to education, asset ownership, and working status. It also outlines a policy agenda to strengthen resilience and accelerate poverty reduction, addressing structural change, service access disparities, and constraints affecting agricultural transformation and connectivity.","STRENGTHENING RESILIENCE TO ACCELERATE POVERTY REDUCTION IN UGANDA   \n1  \nPub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nUGANDA POVERTY ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW  \nSTRENGTHENING RESILIENCE TO ACCELERATE POVERTY  \nREDUCTION IN UGANDA  \n11 July 2022  \n© 2022 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank 1818 H Street NW  \nWashington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000  \n[Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank with external contributions.
