1 results foundAuthor: Vaughan, Jenny Title: Cattle Raiding in Karamoja: A Conflict and Market Assessment Summary: The Karamoja region of northeastern Uganda is among the poorest and most insecure areas in the world. Cattle raids, theft, poor agricultural productivity, illiteracy, abysmal maternal and child health, aid dependency, and the breakdown of traditional semi-nomadic livelihoods combine to prevent the estimated 1.2 million Karamojong from living secure and productive lives. Since 2009, Mercy Corps has implemented both peacebuilding and economic development programs in the region. The agency has sought to integrate these approaches, motivated in part by the growing body of research linking poverty, slow economic growth, and conflict. Mercy Corps aims to develop holistic programming that will address both economic needs and conflict – interventions that will build peace by eliminating the underlying economic causes of conflict and, at the same time, open the doors to development by reducing violence. To better understand the relationship between economic development and conflict, as well as the underlying drivers of cattle raiding, Mercy Corps conducted a combined conflict and market assessment in October 2010. The assessment included a literature review, 23 key informant interviews, and 12 focus group discussions. Details: Portland, OR: Mercy Corps, 2011. 20p.
