  • A Monthly Newsletter on Food Security and Vulnerability in Uganda
    A Monthly Newsletter on Food Security and Vulnerability in Uganda Number 03/2002 13 March 2002 Summary • ActionAid reports adequate household access to food in less secure parts of Katakwi District, although the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) continue to face limited access to both food and clean drinking water. The displaced households are currently depending on wild foods, with a few getting assistance from relatives living in other parts of the district that are outside the camps. Furthermore, only a few of these households are able to access food from the fields and markets due to poor harvests over past seasons and lack of income. Katakwi District officials and humanitarian organizations anticipate that disarmament in the Karamoja Region will help restore civil security, increasing opportunities for IDPs to cultivate in the coming season. Sanitation and health conditions in the IDPs settlements are poor, although no significant outbreak of diseases has been reported over the past three months. • There has been significant improvement in the civil security in Bundibugyo, Kabarole, Kamwenge, Kasese and Kyenjojo Districts, where an estimated 150,000 to 180,000 IDPs live in settlements. Some IDPs have relocated to settlements closer to their homes, improving their access to land and food security. A study by OXFAM Great Britain, Kabarole Research Center and Deutse Enwecklungs Dienst-Uganda (DED-Uganda) found that many IDPs would like to return home, however, they require government’s assurance of security. The report recommended increased advocacy for the IDPs, as well as support to both government and districts to resettle the IDPs. • Normal levels of household food stocks are reported in most of Uganda with no significant food availability problems being identified.
