(Karamoja) 15% of the population has minimally adequate food consumption and is unable to afford some essential non-food expenditures ie. Is stressed (phase 2) and engaging in some irreversible coping strategies to meet their food need. The majority of these are spread over Karamoja, Teso and Acholi regions. This population has suffered low harvests and food stocks at household level during the second season of 2013. They have low purchasing power so they cannot access the food that is available in markets. They still face challenges of chronic inadequate food intake. Child malnutrition is still high due to poor dietary diversity and poor child care and feeding practices. The situation for these households is expected to remain the same or improve in the next three months. Most food accessed is through purchases from market using income obtained from sale of livestock, firewood and charcoal. This does not allow consumption of a diversified diet. Human diseases such as diahorea, hepatitis E are on the increase due to poor food hygiene, food preparation practices and sanitation. Milk production is being affected by the increasing prevalence of livestock is diseases.
Food Consumption: 20% Poor, 36.6 % Borderline, 43.4 Acceptable food consumption Coping strategiesInsurance strategies being applied by the majority of the population 70-82%).
Livelihood Change: A shift from pastoral to agro pastoral. Charcoal burning still ongoing at a reduced scale due to ongoing harvests . Environmentally negative coping strategies have reduced due to availability of food.
Nutrition: The mass screening exercise of September 2013 indicated mean GAM >10%. Indicates serious nutrition situation.
