The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to provide a deeper understanding of security provision in Karamoja; and second, to analyze the patterns of small arms supply to the region. Although many studies have looked into security and small arms in Karamoja, gaps exist in these analyses in three particular areas: 1) the role of security and justice providers in community safety and armed violence; 2) the function of traditional security providers in security provision in Karamoja; and 3) current data on the small arms situation in Karamoja.
