  • Exploring Livelihoods of the Urban Poor in Kampala, Uganda an Institutional, Community, and Household Contextual Analysis
    Exploring livelihoods of the urban poor in Kampala, Uganda An institutional, community, and household contextual analysis Patrick Dimanin December 2012 Abstract he urban poor in Kampala, Uganda represent a large portion of the populationulationn ooff thtthehe caccapitalapipitatal ciccity,ityty, yyeyetet llilittleittttlele iiss Tdocumented about their livelihoods. The main objective of this study was to gain a generalgenerall understandingundndererststananddiingg of the livelihoods present amongst the population of the urban poor and the context in considered whichhicch theythheyy exist, so as to form a foundation for future programming. Three groups of urban poor in the city were identi ed through qualitative interviews: street children, squatters, and slum dwellers. Slum dwellers became the principal interest upon considering the context, aims and limits of the study. Qualitative interviews with key actors at community and household levels, questionnaires at a household level, and several other supplementary investigations formed the remainder of the study. Ultimately, six different livelihood strategies were identi ed and described: Non-poor Casual Labourers, Poor Casual Labourers, Non-quali ed Salary, Quali ed Salary, Vocation or Services, and Petty Traders and Street Vendors. Each of the livelihood strategies identi ed held vulnerabilities, though the severity of these varies between both the type of vulnerability and group. Vulnerabilities of the entire slum population of Kampala include land tenure issues, malnutrition monitoring, and enumeration information. Those at a community and area level include the risk of persistent ooding, unhygienic and unsanitary practices, and full realisation of bene ts of social networks. Finally, major household vulnerabilities included lack of urban agriculture, and lack of credit.
