Resumen
Descripción
The Republic of Uganda is a landlocked country of East-central Africa endowed with large fresh-water resources and a high agricultural potential. The population, young and predominantly rural, is mostly engaged in subsistence rain-fed farming. A high population growth rate exerts pressure on the country’s resources. Although poverty is decreasing, it remains widespread, especially in the northern regions. Northern and north-eastern regions of Uganda have experienced severe civil insecurity which resulted in mass displacement of people to Internally Displaced Persons camps. Since 2006, the security situation in northern Uganda has progressively improved; but the situation remains tense in the north-east (Karamoja).
