Pastoralism plays a key role in many Karamojong livelihoods. However, policies are not designed to aid its sustainability and success, as the sector is often incorrectly viewed as ‘backwards’, uneconomic and environmentally harmful.
The Karamoja Resilience Support Unit (KRSU) designed pastoralism practice and policy (PPP) training workshops, information from which could be disseminated among stakeholders and policymakers to enhance their understanding of the sector and encourage support.
The Karamoja Development Forum used learnings from the PPP course to improve their own awareness and share knowledge with high-level, local actors in a number of areas.
