In early 2016, a detailed report on livestock marketing in Karamoja, Uganda was published by the USAID/East Africa Resilience Learning Project, and described a dynamic trade and supply of livestock to markets in Uganda, Kenya, and South Sudan.
As a follow-up to the 2016 report, in 2017 USAID/Uganda commissioned a short assessment to update information on livestock market trends and issues in Karamoja.
This Evidence Brief summarizes some of the main findings from the assessment, which focussed on market indicators for 2016 and 2017, and used data from nine livestock markets in the sub-region.
