description Food and nutritional insecurity coexists with high HIV prevalence rates in war-affected communities in the north and northeastern regions of Uganda. Women and especially female children are disproportionately affected.

There is also limited understanding of the extent to which Uganda’s current policies and programs address the complex issues involved in gender, HIV, and food insecurity in IDP camps.
