Uganda and a 2016 poverty assessment report by World Bank indicates that the poverty rate in these two regions actually increased from 68% to 84% between the years 2006 and 2013. Whereas most of the progress in poverty reduction in Uganda has been realized from the monetary dimension, there are still huge challenges especially as regards the non-monetary dimensions of poverty such as access to safe water, clean energy, quality education and health care. A civil society parallel report on the progress made by the country highlights the possibility of the above official figures to have been exaggerated The world's reduction of extreme poverty from 47% of the entire population in 1990 to 14% of the entire population has shown the possibility of eradicating extreme poverty from the world in the next generation. With a 28% reduction, Sub-Saharan African region showed the least improvement in poverty eradication in the period from 1990 to 2015 compared to the other regions. Uganda has deferred from the general sub-Saharan trend by significantly reducing the proportion of the extremely poor to 25%. The Human Rights Measurement Initiative gives Uganda a 40% score with regards to absolute poverty. National development Plan 1 (NDP 1) This was a strategy initiated in 2010/11 to eradicate poverty in Uganda. It replaced the Poverty Eradication Action plan(PEAP).

Secondly, it focused on complementary sector which provides infrastructural support to the products;these include transport, energy and water, trade and financial services National development plan II (NDP II) In June 2015, the government of Uganda and United Nations Developmental Assistance launched the NDP II to guide Uganda's path to poverty eradication.
