Abstract

There is a growing realisation in Uganda that inequality has been rising amongst the population, both during and after the periods of poverty reducing growth of the 1990s, and that a significant proportion of the national population has not benefited from opportunities to 'escape' from poverty during this period. Many of these are people in chronic poverty.
