Sustainable Pathway to Food Security and Economic

Following over a decade of USAID’s investments, Karamoja is at a turning point: a prolonged drought, the food price cirsis, and increasing conflicts are undermining promising signs of progress towards food security and economic growth.

To that end, USAID/Uganda, with the technical leadership of Mercy Corps, and in partnership with the Horn of Africa Resilience Network, and Catholic Relief Services, and the Karamoja Resilience Support Unit (KRSU) invite you to join us for a learning event 12-14 September to reflect on sustainable pathways to food security and economic growth for Karamoja.

The event will focus on three critical themes:

1. Sustaining food security and nutrition in Karamoja in light of compounding shocks
2. Market-led approaches in humanitarian and dryland contexts
3. Conflict dynamics and impact on humanitarian and development investments

This even will examine a decade of evidence from the Karamoja Resilience Support Unit, the Mercy Corps implemented Apolou program and the CRS-implemnted Nuyok, among others, and put forward keyrecommendations to strengthen collective impact in the Karamoja Region.
