Uganda - A Feasibility Study of Cash Transfer Programmes in Karamoja, November 2014

Despite the fact that various interventions have been implemented in Karamoja to address food insecurity, most of the population remains food insecure or vulnerable to food insecurity, calling for innovations in food security programming. The assessment reached over 1,100 households and primarily sought to assess the food security status of WFP beneficiaries and key aspects of market functionality with the view to inform potential cash/voucher programming in Karamoja.

The assessment was carried out in four (4) districts of Karamoja and nine (9) sub-counties: Kaabong (Lolelia sub-county), Kotido (Kotido, Panyangara, Rengen and Nakapelimoru sub-counties), Moroto (Katikekile sub-county) and Napak (Ngoleriet, Lopei and Lokopo sub-counties).
