The 2002 Census collected information on selected basic necessitiesincluding consumption of sugar, use of soap, and ownership of clothing, shoes andblankets. The items included are those that showed a strong relationship with thepoverty status of a household as shown by the Uganda National Household Survey(UNHS) 1999/2000.Nearly half of thehouseholds hadall membersaccess sugar atleast once a dayTable 8.12 reveals the percentage distribution of consumption of basic necessities.Sugar consumption and use of soap for bathing was not universal. Only within 48percent of the households had all members having access to sugar at least once aday. Similarly, less than half of households had every household member having apair of shoes. Access to at least two sets of clothing per person and use of soap forbathing were more common. Only one quarter of the households had all the five basicnecessities. Apart from use of soap for bathing, there is a very big gap between therural and urban households with regards to access to the basic necessities. Given thestrong correlation between poverty status of households and access to these basicnecessities, these results imply that many households have low levels of welfare. Forall households which had children, only 35 percent had all the children having ablanket each. The proportion was higher in urban areas (50 percent) than rural areas(32 percent).94

Ownershipof a house, other means of transport and radio were considered.Table 8.3 shows that most households owned the dwelling they were residing in.Nearly half of the households owned a radio and more than one third owned a bicycle.There are wide variations in asset ownership by place of residence and the femaleheadedhouseholds had generally fewer physical assets. Except for bicycles, ruralhouseholds owned fewer assets compared to their urban counterparts.Table 8.13: Proportion of Households owning Selected AssetsSex of HeadResidenceType of Asset Male Female Urban Rural All CategoriesHouse / Dwelling unit 79.0 75.7 30.1 86.1 78.2Bicycles 38.9 16.6 18.8 36.2 33.7Any other means of Transport 6.0 2.7 10.3 4.4 5.3Radio 52.6 37.9 68.5 46.1 49.28.4.4 Household Poverty EstimatesThe 2002 Census collected information on various characteristics of households.Comparable information was collected in the UNHS 2002/03. The UNHS 2002/03used the consumption approach to estimate the poverty. Poverty estimates were alsomade at the regional level. Regression models were applied to the information onhousehold characteristics from the 2002 Census to estimate poverty levels at districtand lower geographical levels. These estimates are consistent with those from theUNHS 2002/03 at the national and regional levels.95
