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 the USAID/Uganda Karamoja Resilience Support Unit (KRSU) commissioned a short assessment to update information on livestock market trends and issues in Karamoja.
This report focuses on key market indicators for 2016 and 2017, and is based on visits to seven livestock markets in the sub-region between October 27 and November 6, 2017, including in-depth
interviews with market actors and government officials.
