Over the first half of Vision 2040 (2010 to 2025), the share of households in the subsistence economy more than halved, reducing from 69 percent in 2014 to 33 percent in 2024. This rate of reduction validates Vision 2040 – “A Transformed Ugandan Society from a Peasant to a Modern and Prosperous Country within 30 years”. Per capita income more than doubled over the same period, from USD506 in FY2010/11 to USD1,263 in FY2024/25.
