It examines why progress in poverty reduction has been limited, highlighting insufficient safety nets for rural and poor households, vulnerability drivers in 2019/20, and constraints from migration, COVID-19 impacts, and slow change in agricultural production practices. It also identifies policy directions to accelerate poverty reduction through resilience-focused interventions.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nReport No: AUS0002913  \nUganda  \nUganda Poverty Assessment  \nStrengthening Resilience to Accelerate Poverty Reduction  \nJune 27 2022  \nPOV  \nUganda Poverty Assessment:  \nStrengthening Resilience to Accelerate Poverty Reduction  \n27 June 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.
