Building Resilience to Enhance Food and Nutrition Security, Incomes and Health in Northern Uganda <p>The proposed action titled Building Resilience to Enhance Food and Nutrition Security, Incomes and Health in Northern Uganda, seeks to enhance food and nutrition security, increase household incomes and improve maternal and child nutrition and health in NU by promoting diversified food (and animal) production of resilient varieties; commercialising agriculture; improving post-harvest handling, food preparation and consumption practices; and encouraging family planning for improved and sustainable livelihoods. The major commodities with an emphasis towards commercialization include: Cassava, Rice and soybean. Other enterprises mainly aimed for food and nutrition security, dietary diversity and small-scale income generation include green leafy vegetables, orange fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSP) for Vitamin A, fruits, poultry, high-iron beans, yellow maize and groundnuts. Specific objectives are to increase food security, improve maternal and child nutrition and enhance household incomes through support of diversified food production and commercial agriculture, as well as improved household resilience to climate change and women and youth empowerment. The proposed action targets two sub regions in NU namely, Lango and Teso. In Lango the action will focus on five districts i.e. Dokolo, Amolatar, Apac, Otuke and Kwania, while in Teso the target districts are two i.e. Amuria and Kapelebyong, making a total of 7 target districts. The action will target 51,250 households in Acholi and Lango regions respectively. In all activities, in recognition of womens role and potential to influence household nutrition and food security and the nature of the age pyramid in the region, high youth unemployment and reproductive health challenges. The main objective of the proposed action is therefore, to contribute towards reduction of poverty and under-nutrition and strengthen the foundation for sustainable and inclusive socio-economic development in NU. The proposed action will also contribute to SDG 1 (end poverty in all its forms everywhere) and SDG 2 End hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture). The theory of change and the results pathway are premised on the hypothesis that smallholder farmer food security, nutrition and health improvement is driven by positive change in incomes driven by (i) increased adoption and production and diversified foods; (ii)increased access to markets for agricultural products and (iii) improved nutrition and health of the general population.</p>

Deepening grassroots women rights, participation and economic livelihood opportunities in the era of expanding oil and gas extraction developments and the COVID 19 pandemic in Uganda With these COVID 19 restrictions, perpetrators of GBV are going unnoticed and unpunished. Many girls are raped in the dark in the name of implementing  night curfews, the courts have at times been temporarily shut, health centres, police, recovery shelters and help lines rendered un helpful by restricted movements and banned transport thus breeding more fertile grounds for accelerating the GBV vice. The search for basic needs such as food to feed those locked in homes and other necessities by male counterparts who have lost out all options to feed their families has just made the situation unbearable for women, young girls and children.The proposed action will thus strive to;a)Mobilise, strengthen and support grassroots women to collectively campaign against gender based violence (GBV) and other forms of human rights abuse perpetuated by both oil discovery and extraction, and the Covid-19 pandemic with one strong and united voice.b)Boost food security and incomes options of identified grassroots women farmers and their groups in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and oil and gas impacts.c)Adopt a holistic approach of identifying and building knowledge and engagement capacity of locally based  engagement structures  i.e. GBV listeners clubs who will form the nucleus of change champions by amplifying voices of women on GBV and  oil impacts on the Community Green Radio (CGR) of NAPEd)Establish /form community based safe spaces where GBV victims faced with stigma and corporate induced land evictions like those related with oil can safely air out their concerns, get counseling, help lines, referrals and legal support to secure justice or conflict resolution.
