Uganda has been consistent in its pursuit of poverty eradication as the overriding priority for national socioeconomic development. The overall goal of the government is to reduce absolute poverty to less than 10% of the population by 2017. The country has experienced strong economic growth averaging 6.5% per annum since 1991/92, with inflation at an annual average of 4.8%. However, the percentage of the population living below the poverty line is still high at 38% in 2003
