The reduction of poverty and vulnerability is an integral part of Uganda��s national development. This report considers the national development process from the point of view of an individual household. From this perspective, socioeconomic transformation means that all households are made more secure and hence forward looking with a strong incentive to invest. This requires that individuals have faith in a brighter future. The necessary sense of optimism can be provided in a number of ways. Three of the most important are an effective insurance mechanism or social safety net, a quality education for one��s child, and secure employment with a steady income. This motivates the three interrelated themes of the report - the extent to which Ugandans are vulnerable and unsure of their economic environment, inequality in the access to education opportunities, and household livelihoods.
