Atlas of the Dopeth Catchment A sociotechnical assessment, Kodo & Kaabong Districts, Karamoja, Uganda Karamo)a is characteriAed by acute po,erty and has the lowest social and economic de,elopment of Uganda. The situa&on impro,ed o,er the past years, but the region was unable to successfully implement and manage long term sus- tainable de,elopment processes. The many disaster risk reduc&on, capacity building and other support pro)ects pro,ed helpful, but the region remains disas- ter prone. Much too oBen haAards s&ll result in food insecurity, disease and con- Cict :e.g. UN2P 2014a, UN2P 2014b, FA. 201E, FA. et al. 2018)). The underlying sociotechnical asssessment is part of a larger pro)ect that aims to formulate a de,elopment strategy towards building li,elihood resilience. This sociotechnical assessment includes an analysis of the current biophysical situa- &on of the 2opeth Catchment, the iden&$ca&on of linkages, challenges and op- portuni&es, and the formula&on of the most eFec&,e, prac&cal and realis&c so- lu&ons. n agreement with the UCN guidelines and the policies adopted by the Go,ernment of Uganda :M-1 - 2irectorate of -RM 2012), a catchment per- spec&,e is adopted and integrated ecosystem based disaster risk reduc&on ap- proach is pursued. n this Atlas, the results of the sociotechnical assessment are presented in the form of thema&c maps. A descrip&on of the current biophysical landscape and the poten&al for impro,ed land management, sustainable water resources use and use of other ecosystem ser,ices is gi,en. Based on the assessment, at the end, the main challenges are summariAed and possible solu&ons are pro,ided. -e are con$dent that the data and analyses presented will assist to guide informed decision making in Karamo)a, upon building more resilient li,elihoods.

Factors contribu&ng to the situa&on in the region are insecurity, en,ironmental issues, marginaliAa&on, illiteracy , limited opportunies in marke&ng, poor health and poor infrastructure. Problems are largely a9ributed to droughts, Cooding and disease outbreaks. The region is marked by a long-term dependency on external aid programmes.

A. ,oca$on of Kaabong and Ko$do Districts in -ganda Project Approach The underlying Atlas presents the results of the sociotechnical assessment of Ko&do and Kaabong 2istricts in Karamo)a, Uganda. The assessment is one of the inputs to a larger pro)ect that aims to formulate a de,elopment strategy to wards building li,elihood resilience. Next to this sociotechnical assessment, the pro)ect includes a social context study, a stake- holder mapping exercise and an assessment on knowledge and coordina&on, especially at district le,el. The ul&mate goal of the pro)ect is to strengthen and di,ersify li,elihoods, build community assets and strengthen systems and structures that promote resilience to haAards. Since a few years programmes by interna&onal organiAa&ons are being phased out in Karamo)a. There is a clear cut back on emergency opera&ons and food distribu&on. Karamo)a has to explore new strategies to sustain its growing popula- &on. To minimiAe the eFects of haAards such as hea,y rainfall and droughts, amongst others in the light of climate change, disaster risk reduc&on, capacity building and other de,elopment pro)ects were ini&ated by authori&es and non- go,ernmental organisa&ons. Though these in,estments had their posi&,e eFect at community le,el, the impact of pro- grammes can be increased by coordina&ng ac&,i&es at a larger scale. Such coordina&on will increase the e(ciency, eFec- &,eness and long-term sustainability, especially because the systemPs processes are all interlinked :e.g. higher runoF rates in the mountainous areas may result in Cooding downstream). This study aims to showcase the importance of an in- depth and integrated assessment at catchment scale to understand and describe the current situa&on before looking at inter,en&ons. The pro)ect aims to determine where to focus on, especially with regard to infrastructure and natural re- sources management, to ensure long term sustainable de,elopment in,estments. The pro)ect adopts a catchment based natural resources management approach, following the introduc&on of this frame- work by the Go,ernment of Uganda. The approach impro,es the analy&cal underpinning of conclusions and recommen- da&ons and pro,ides an opportunity for stakeholders to par&cipate in the formula&on of plans and the de,elopment of new :water) infrastructure :M-1-2irectorate of -RM 2012). B. Cale maize cul$va$on and To put the catchment based approach into prac&ce, $rst all rele,ant data was collected, calibrated and ,alidated. The grasslands in Karamoja (Wetlands results presented in this Atlas :maps, $gures and analyses) are the outputs of integrated sociotechnical assessment and aim to support the fact-based decision making processes that will follow. 2uring these processes priority inter,en&ons Interna$onal 2015) will be short-listed and the de,elopment strategy will be de,eloped in collabora&on with all stakeholders. 6 Building livelihood resilience The results presented in this Atlas are input to the formula&on of a de,elopment strate- gy towards building li,elihood resilience in a disaster prone area. Resilience is the ability withstand or reco,er from a haAard e,ent. High chance of haAard occurrence, coupled of a system exposed to haAards to resist, absorb, accommodate to and reco,er from the with high ,ulnerability and weak coping capacity, translate into high risks. Though haA- eFects of a haAard in a &mely and e(cient manner, including through the preser,a&on ards cannot be a,erted as such, ,ulnerability and capacity are factors that can be ad- and restora&on of its essen&al basic structures and func&ons :UN S2R 2009). dressed, so that the system becomes more resilient, and disasters can be warded off.

  • Uganda Humanitarian Update
    UGANDA HUMANITARIAN UPDATE MAY – JUNE 2010 I. HIGHLIGHTS AMID HEAVY RAINS, HUMANITARIAN ACCESS IN PARTS OF KARAMOJA AND TESO HAMPERED BY DETERIORATING ROAD CONDITIONS OVER 1,000 CHOLERA CASES REGISTERED IN KARAMOJA SINCE APRIL 2010 90% OF IDPS IN NORTHERN UGANDA NO LONGER LIVING IN CAMPS, BUT LAND CONFLICTS AND LANDMINES IMPEDING RETURN IN SOME AREAS II. SECURITY AND ACCESS SECURITY The general situation in Karamoja remained fragile, according to the United Nations Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS). Cattle raids, including on protected kraals, particularly affected Moroto and Kotido, with some resulting in fierce clashes between the Uganda People’s Defence Forces and the raiders. In South Karamoja incidents associated with food distributions involved theft of food and non-food items (NFIs), and attacks on food distributors as well as on food recipients. Following three road ambushes in Alerek sub-county of Abim District during the month, UNDSS issued an advisory limiting UN movement along the Abim-Kotido road to between 09.00Hrs and 16.00Hrs with effect from 28 June 2010. Three civilians were killed in one of those ambushes. In northern Uganda, Amuru District officials and partners carried out a joint assessment in the wake of a violent land dispute that occurred in Koli village of Pabbo sub-county on 23 June. Preliminary findings indicated that one person was killed and several others injured in the dispute involving two clans. Some 40 huts were torched and many members of either clan had fled the village. Also of concern in the region during the reporting period were raids by illegally armed Karamojong, particularly in Pader District.

  • Alcohol in Karamoja, Uganda: Observations and Remaining Questions
    Alcohol in Karamoja, Uganda: Observations and Remaining Questions A FEINSTEIN INTERNATIONAL CENTER BRIEF Elizabeth Stites This briefing paper presents findings from field work completed during early 2017 in the northern Karamoja districts of Abim, Kaabong, and Kotido. The field work was conducted by a team from the Feinstein International Center (FIC) at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, and was funded by Mercy Corps as part of the Growth, Health, and Governance (GHG) program supported by USAID’s Food for Peace (FFP) program. In addition, this briefing paper relies on background material and observations from multiple previous rounds of research conducted in Karamoja by the same FIC team in the period from 2004 to 2016, funded by Mercy Corps, the World Bank, Save the Children in Uganda, UNICEF, and the International Development Research Center (IDRC). The research team used qualitative methods (open-ended semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews) to collect data for this study. In early 2017, we interviewed approximately 150 people in 14 different villages (five in Kotido, five in Kaabong, and four in Abim). Questions to male and female respondents (in focus groups divided by age and gender) covered a number of topics relating to livelihoods, food security, access to markets, and health concerns. We did not focus exclusively on alcohol production, use or sale in any of the interviews; rather, questions on alcohol were embedded within broader discussions on these other topics. Key informants interviewed individually through open-ended semi-structured discussions included brewers, local councilors (LCI), and representatives of village savings and loans associations (VSLAs), mother care groups (MCGs), and water user committees (WUCs).

  • 1 REFORMED WARRIORS: a CASE STUDY from UGANDA1 Introduction Only 8 Years Ago, Northern Uganda, and Particularly the Karamoja
    REFORMED WARRIORS: A CASE STUDY FROM UGANDA1 Introduction Only 8 years ago, Northern Uganda, and particularly the Karamoja sub-region, was riddled with various levels of conflict, inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic divides and the LRA. Today, much of that violence has subsided. The question is, how did Uganda move towards peace? In this case study, Mercy Corps looks to answer that question in part by examining the role of youth, particularly a group of youth known as ‘reformed warriors’ a name generally used for young people who have given up violence in the Karamoja area of Uganda. Between 1970 and 2011, Karamoja faced brutal, deadly conflicts between and within different communities.2 These conflicts over cattle and resources existed before, but in 1970, the proliferation of weapons led to an increase in casualties.3 Due to government policies and peacebuilding efforts, the once violent Karamoja has turned a corner, where violence and insecurity have decreased significantly.4 It is in this post-conflict environment that youth are beginning to find their voice and many are advocating for peace. In some cases, youth that were formally perpetrators of violence are now building peace in their communities. These youth—Reformed Warriors—turned in their weapons, and through a reconciliation process were reintegrated into their communities. Not only have they reintegrated, but some have become ambassadors for peace, working to spread messages of peace to their communities and beyond. These Reformed Warriors are paramount in the story of peace and development in Karamoja. In many cases around the world, many formerly violent warriors are not welcomed back into their communities.

    North Karamoja Development Project Effectiveness Review Summary Report Livelihood Support to Women’s Groups Oxfam GB Livelihoods Global Outcome Indicator December 2011 Acknowledgments We would like to thank the Oxfam Kotido team for their support in administering this evaluation. Thanks also to Kenneth Okital for managing the field work and data entry. Photo credits: Crispin Hughes and Caroline Gluck North Karamoja Development Project Effectiveness Review – Summary Report Executive Summary As per Oxfam Great Britain’s (OGB) Global Performance Framework (GPF), sufficiently mature projects are being randomly selected each year and their effectiveness rigorously assessed. Uganda’s Livelihood Diversification and Support Project was originally selected in this way under the livelihood strengthening thematic area. However, it was realised that this project was too immature to be subjected to an “effectiveness review”. Fortunately, it was identified as being connected to another project that is sufficiently mature, namely, the North Karamoja Development Project. Thus, a decision was taken to assess its effectiveness, including the extent to which it has promoted change in relation to OGB’s global livelihood outcome indicator: % of targeted households living on more than £1.00 per day per capita Through the North Karamoja Development Project and other complementary initiatives, OGB has been directly supporting 10 women’s groups, made up of over 400 members, in Kotido and Kaabong districts of Uganda’s Karamoja sub-region since 2007. This support primarily involved the construction and equipping of grain storage and milling facilities for each of the 10 groups and the provision of agricultural inputs and tools to their members. The women were also targeted with animal husbandry training, where they, among other things, were encouraged to utilise the services of animal health workers.
