It should be BRIEF, no more than 500 words USAID’s Securing Peace and Promoting Prosperity in Karamoja Activity is a two-year Conflict Mitigation and Management project made possible by the support of the American People through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It is implemented in Kaabong, Kotido, Abim and Moroto Districts of Karamoja, Uganda, and runs from November 15, 2017 to November 15, 2019. The Activity is implemented by Mercy Corps, Dodoth Agro Pastoralists Development Organization (DADO), and Abim Women Together in Development (AWOTID). Objectives: The project brings communities from Karamoja together across lines-of-conflict to address the social, economic, environmental, and political issues at risk of fueling violence. The total population (indirect beneficiaries) targeted is 561,761 (2014 population and housing census for Kaabong, Abim, Kotido and Moroto). This will be achieved through three interlinked objectives: Objective 1: Supports 744 (direct beneficiaries) people who are part of the council of elders, other female and male leaders, and reformed warriors, in their work to help their communities deal with past experiences of violence by re-building broken social bonds and providing mental health and psychosocial support activities. In parallel, Mercy Corps will bring the various leaders together with youth clubs to identify shared interests and design development projects, thereby promoting cooperation across lines- of-conflict. Stronger relationships between communities no longer plagued by trauma will help prevent future violence. Objective 2: Continue to work with 1,280 (direct beneficiaries) council of elders, other female and male leaders, and youth clubs, strengthening their skills and relationships necessary to prevent conflict and de- escalate violent disputes driven by natural resources in general and livestock theft specifically. Objective 2 connects these actors to the wider conflict and early warning network at district, sub-county and parish levels across the Karamoja region. Objective 3: Through 960 (direct beneficiaries) key leaders, boost civil society’s capacities and resources to educate and empower community groups on land rights and advocacy. The goal is to bring together communities, government and the private sector for land use and reform to secure more equitable land access for women and men, and reduce the risk of conflict with government or private sector on land use. The project builds on partners (Mercy Corps, DADO and AWOTID) previous and existing conflict management and resilience projects in Karamoja and the Karamoja Cluster as a whole. The USAID- funded Alternatives to Conflict in Karamoja & Turkana (ACKT) addressed causes of cross-border conflict between the Ik and Dodoth of Uganda and the Turkana of Kenya. Building Bridges to Peace promoted inter-ethnic cooperation through ecological projects, which increased trust and perceptions of security. Growth, Health and Governance (GHG) bolstered local capacity to improve governance and mitigate conflict. AWOTID has implemented (as part of GHG) activities with a focus on building the Template Last Updated: June 8, 2018 4 capacity of land management structures in Abim. In PEACE III, Mercy Corps and DADO are working with Pact Kenya to strengthen conflict management capacity within and linkages between local, national, and regional actors to address cross-border conflict. Currently the project has initiated collaboration with Mercy Corps Apolou, another USAID Food for Peace project implemented in the Karamoja region.
