This study aims to analyse the income gaps between households engaged in farming activities only and those combining farming and non-farming activities in the Kaziba chiefdom.A structured survey was conducted at the beginning of the second half of 2019. It focused on collecting data on the living conditions of households in Kaziba. Five clusters formed the basis of our survey including Kashozi, Butuzi, Muhumba, Chihumba and Lukube. Two tools were used. (i) the Gini index decomposition approach and (ii) the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty analysis approach (distribution, intensity) between households. The results of the Gini index decomposition show that non-agricultural activities reduce income inequality within households by 13.04%. In addition, the poverty analysis shows that households that engage in non-farm activities are less poor (73%) than those that engage in farming only (81%). The policy implication in terms of enabling resilience strategies would be to encourage non-farm activities in households that can increase their income and reduce poverty.
Author Keywords: Income, Nonagricultural activities and resilience.

Abstract
This study aims to analyse the income gaps between households engaged in farming activities only and those combining farming and non-farming activities in the Kaziba chiefdom.A structured survey was conducted at the beginning of the second half of 2019. It focused on collecting data on the living conditions of households in Kaziba. Five clusters formed the basis of our survey including Kashozi, Butuzi, Muhumba, Chihumba and Lukube. Two tools were used. (i) the Gini index decomposition approach and (ii) the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty analysis approach (distribution, intensity) between households. The results of the Gini index decomposition show that non-agricultural activities reduce income inequality within households by 13.04%. In addition, the poverty analysis shows that households that engage in non-farm activities are less poor (73%) than those that engage in farming only (81%).

Abstract: (french)
La présente étude se propose d’analyser les écarts entre les revenu des ménages pratiquant uniquement les activités agricole et ceux combinant les activités agricoles et non agricole dans la collectivité de Kaziba.Une enquête structurée au début du deuxième semestre de 2019 a été conduite. Elle a porté sur la collecte des données sur les conditions de vie des ménages à Kaziba. Cinq groupements ont constitué la base de notre enquête dont Kashozi, Butuzi, Muhumba, Chihumba et Lukube. Deux outils ont été utilisés. (i) l’approche de la décomposition de l’indice de Gini et (ii) l’approche de l’analyse de la pauvreté Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (répartition, intensité) entre les ménages. Les résultats de la décomposition de l’indice de Gini montrent que les activités non agricoles réduisent de 13.04% les inégalités des revenus au sein des ménages. En outre, l’analyse de la pauvreté, montre que les ménages qui pratiquent les activités non agricoles sont moins pauvres (73%) que ceux qui pratiquent l’agriculture seulement (81%). L’implication politique en termes des stratégies de résilience favorable serait d’encourager les activités non agricoles dans les ménages qui pourront accroitre leur revenu et réduire la pauvreté.
Author Keywords: Revenu, Activités non agricole et résilience.
