| dc.description | Since 2019, Uganda’s Karamoja subregion has suffered from progressive food insecurity as a result of below-average crop and livestock production due to erratic weather conditions, plant pests and animal diseases, and price shocks. In October 2022, information and surveillance reports indicated a suspected outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), one of the most threatening diseases for livestock in Uganda due to its high socio-economic impact, the complexity in its control and its rapid spread. Thanks to the German Federal Foreign Office’s contribution to the SFERA – Anticipatory Action window, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) will provide vaccination and prophylactic treatment to livestock belonging to over 27 200 pastoral households in Karamoja. This will protect their livelihoods as they depend on livestock as a critical source of income and to meet their nutritional needs, reducing poverty and building resilience against future shocks. | |
