According to the sources, about 35% of the Uganda population is below the poverty line and it has major causes behind it.
Some of the major causes for Uganda poverty are highlighted below:
Uganda is an agricultural country but this sector is heavily under debt. So every single Ugandan is under the debt. There is little scope to come out of this vicious circle.
The occurrence of Civil Wars- One of the chief reasons for poverty in Uganda is the ongoing civil strife. Civil wars in Uganda have given rise to widespread destruction of life and property and resulted in poverty of the nation.
