Building climate resilience for Karamoja's farmers and pastoralists
Climate change is putting rain-fed agriculture at risk, with major implications for food security in the Karamoja sub-region. Climate resilience involves preparing for the effects of climate change and building the capacity to recover quickly. Resilience is often associated with planning. In this story, we look at the achievements of the Strengthening Drought Resilience for Smallholder Farmers and Pastoralists in the IGAD Region (DRESS-EA) project. The project aims to increase the resilience of smallholder farmers and pastoralists to climate change risks in the Karamoja sub-region in eastern Uganda.
