  1. All figures are taken from the Ugandan Bureau of Statistics [41].
  2. § Data for Soroti and Serere districts were not available separately since Serere separated from Soroti in 2010.
  3. ± Land mass data excludes open water areas (269 km2 for Kaberamaido and 504 km2 for Soroti/Serere) but includes seasonal and permanent wetlands (144 km2 for Kaberamaido and 418 km2 for Soroti/Serere).
  4. ǂWhile separate land/water area data for Dokolo district was not available, this has negligible impact on the calculation of cattle density since the district has relatively small open water and wetland areas.
