The Karamoja region of north eastern Uganda is one of the most marginalised parts of the country. For decades, it has suffered high levels of conflict and insecurity, alongside low levels of development and serious challenges to individual well-being. Apart from being affected at certain points by the conflict between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda, groups living in Karamoja have also been involved in cycles of cattle raiding and counterraiding. Various strategies have been adopted in the past to address insecurity, resolve conflict and increase development opportunities for the people of Karamoja. Some successes have been registered, but huge challenges still remain.
