| description | Karamoja’s population is highly dependent on
subsistence agriculture, which is sensitive to
climate conditions, making agriculture one of the
most vulnerable sectors to the impacts of climate
change. As a result, the region suffers chronic food
insecurity due to the combined impacts of high
levels of poverty, low human development and
unfavourable climatic and weather conditions.
However, little is known about the impacts of
climate change on household food security, and
in particular, the ability of households to adapt to
Executive Summary
climate change over time. This has resulted in gaps
in food security and resilience programming.
The objective of this study is therefore
to contribute to, and facilitate, efforts in
mainstreaming climate change adaptation into
broader resilience programming initiatives and
to identify appropriate adaptation policies and
programmes that support the most vulnerable and
food insecure communities in the Karamoja region. |
