This report presents the findings of research examining the intersection between natural resources and conflict in southern Karamoja, Uganda, from the perspective of local communities. The study and report are based on a research partnership between Save the Children in Uganda (SCiUG) and the Feinstein International Center (FIC) at Tufts University.
FIC researchers are working with SCiUG in 2009-2011 on a series of discrete studies to investigate areas of mutual interest in Karamoja. The research findings from these studies are designed to inform programming, planning and advocacy in the area of livelihood interventions.
In this field study, a combined Tufts and SCiUG team sought to better understand how local communities view the intersection of natural resource and violent conflict. Fieldwork was conducted in Moroto, Nakapiripirit and Amudat Districts over a two-week period in November 2009.
