dc.description.abstract | This study analyzes the contribution of Luwero Rwenzori Development Programme in the
eradication of poverty among households in Luwero Triangle and Rwenzori Region in Uganda.
The development programme was implemented in 2010 to 2015, in districts like Kabarole,
Wakiso, Luwero, mubende among others. Data used in the analysis was got from UNHS conducted
in these districts. STATA 15 was used as the main statistical package for analysis, frequency tables
and summary statistics for Univariate analysis, categorical and continuous variables respectively.
For bivariate analysis, pearson chi-square, the oneway ANOVA and a multinomial logistic
regression for the multivariate analysis.
The main outcome variable was daily meals in a household since food security is one of the major
indicators of poverty. This was categorized into all three meals, only two meals and only one meal.
Size of the family and household welfare were associated with the number of daily meals in the
household. A unit increase in the size of the family significantly reduces the daily meals in the
household. The study also proved that household assets acquired during LRDP had a significant
effect on the household poverty.
In conclusion, the LRDP greatly contributed to the government’s efforts to eradicate poverty in
household by supporting crop and animal farming, being the main economic activities in both
Luwero Triangle and Rwenzori Region. The study suggests further investments in education,
women empowerment, and agriculture support to mention but a few. | en_US |
