Since 2004, ACF has been conducting periodic monitoring on specific food security topics relevant to the conflict affected areas in Gulu, Amuru, Apac (Oyam) and Lira districts. This newsletter seeks to examine the factors still challenging households—IDP and returnee—in engaging and / or expanding their animal husbandry activities and what agencies can do to assist in fostering the sustainable re-growth of the activity in Northern Uganda. The study is meant to capture trends more so than precision. The field assessment took place over 17 days in July and August 2007 by ACF food security staff. Interviews were conducted with 150 households in 15 areas, 14 agencies implementing animal based programmes or involved in marketing, and 14 veterinary service providers in Gulu, Amuru, Oyam, Lira and Northern Apac districts.

Introduction There have been reports of persistent human rights violations in 1991 in the northern Ugandan districts of Gulu, Kitgum, Lira and Apac, committed in particular by the Ugandan army, known as the National Resistance Army (NRA). Rebel forces have been active in these districts for many years and have been responsible for abductions, torture and killing of civilians. Human rights violations by the Ugandan authorities include the imprisonment of 18 prisoners of conscience, the detention without charge or trial of civilians suspected of involvement in rebel activities, the administrative sentencing of 1,100 others for "desertion", the ill-treatment of prisoners in military custody, and extrajudicial executions. In March and April 1991 18 local and national northern political leaders, many of them sympathizers of the Democratic Party (DP), were arrested by the NRA. They were charged with treason on 7 May, after being held without charge for periods ranging from three to six weeks, but the state has proved unable to present details of their alleged treasonable activity to the courts. -

The sectors of focus are those which are positioned to develop the region such as agriculture (and agro-processing), tourism, trade, manufacturing and services such as education, health and finances. There are some incentives which specific districts are willing to give investors such as industrial and agricultural land for easy location of their businesses. These can be coupled with the National incentives especially for investors willing to set up upcountry. The Lango sub-region is currently divided into 9 districts of Alebtong, Amolatar, Apac, Dokolo, Kole, Lira, Oyam, Otuke and Kwania District. It’s a relatively urbanized region with two Municipalities in Lira and Apac districts where manufacturing, trade and services are evidently booming. The region is situated within the annual cropping and cattle-farming systems that are primarily found in Northern Uganda. The region is dry compared to the rest of the country and experiences one long rainy season also called the unimodal type of rainfall, yet farmers can still grow two crops in a year. The country’s grain basket and in fact contributing to the GDP. The profile shows the crucial facilitating role played by both the Government agencies and local authorities whose main role is to propel Local Economic Development. -
