Integrated Community Development Programme This project aims to support activities which will increase resilience and reduce vulnerability of local communities to drought, conflicts, disease, epidemics and floods, in Uganda.

The project seeks to improve:
-	household food security through increased crop and livestock production. 
-	income through promotion of apiculture (modern science of bee management) and bee keeping (Traditional method of rearing bees). 
-	knowledge and skills on the importance of maternal and child nutrition and health through trainings and application of improved practices among beneficiary households in target sub counties. 
-	water, sanitation and hygiene through empowering communities with knowledge and skills on access to clean water, good sanitation and hygiene practices. 

This will be achieved through the concerted effort of Caritas project team (proper project implementation, reporting, baseline surveys, internal M&E) CAFOD (funding, external M&E and baseline studies) Caritas Board (Internal M&E, staff recruitment & supervision and policy guidance), line government departments/ministries (Regulation and quality control), target people and communities (implementation and supervision of project activities) and other thematic sector partners (coordination, harmonisation, planning, technical guidance).

This action if well implemented is envisaged to cause a significant drop in the number of households living below the poverty line.
Building Resilience Together (BRT) . Karamoja Sub Region is semi-arid that receives 400mm – 1000mm of rain annually. The mainstay of the people is pastoralism and agro-pastoralism with over 60% of households owning livestock (FSNA, 2017). However, the fragile ecosystem is increasingly getting degraded due to bush burning, poor farming practices and massive cutting of trees for charcoal and agriculture.
Pastoralism and agro-pastoralism form the main livelihoods bases in the region which is generally characterized by poor rainfall distribution and reliability manifested through prolonged dry spells and occasional flash floods. The magnitude, frequency, and severity of these hazards have increased over the past decades adversely affecting the environment and seriously affecting and eroding the productive assets and traditional coping capacities that support livelihoods.
Caritas Moroto through the  project seeks to address some of the critical challenges related to environmental degradation, climate change, drought, biodiversity, wildlife conflicts, food security and livelihoods to develop resilient communities in which all people, particularly women, girls, men, and boys thrive.
The less significant natural hazards reported were earthquakes and landslides). The Project is well aligned to the National Development Plan (NDPIII), Vision 2040, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),district annual plan and the new CAFOD program strategy. 
The goal of the BRT project is to Build resilience of women and youth in lorengechora sub-county and town council, Napak district by 2025. The project targets the economically active beneficiaries between 18 – 65 years to ensure Sustainable reliance on natural resources-based livelihoods and increased income alternatives. The project is well aligned with new CAFOD programme strategy that is aimed at promoting integral ecology model. The project aims to address the cry of the poor alongside the cry of the earth through its outcomes, outputs and activities.
Ebola Prevention in Northern and Karamoja Regions through awareness creation and WASH Activities The project is developed as a result of Ebola outbreak in Uganda and anticipated impact in the Karamoja districts of Moroto,Napak and Nakapiripiriti. The Ebola district Task Forces have been constituted by District Leadership and the workplans developed in consultation with communities, and the understanding that IEC materials and radio messaging will be the most effective way of reaching all members of the community, including those most vulnerable, with accurate information on how to prevent the spread of EVD. It has also been considered that the rainy season is approaching. As the rain worsens, some IEC materials will be laminated to ensure that the messaging remains available. Laminated messaging will also be provided in the health centres and by the hand washing facilities where possible.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Create awareness on EVD:  
Provide Hand Washing Facilities to the most commonly visited public places such as health units, police stations, markets, places of worships, schools and water points in the project locations of Moroto, Nakapiripiriti and Napak, so that people who come to those places frequently wash their hands to reduce the risk of spread of Ebola virus in the target districts and city.
Bisheshe Livelihoods Project Bisheshe, in Mbarara Archdiocese which has an area of 967 sq km, an average rainfall of 43 inches pa, an estimated population of 350,000 and a population growth rate of 5% pa.
Subsistence agriculture is the main economic activity. With many children in a family and cultural inheritance of the land, each family only has a small portion of land that can hardly sustain them. The crops grown (beans, groundnuts, maize, matooke [plantain]) have decreased as a result of reduced rainfall, soil exhaustion and disease, reducing food production for both consumption and sale, resulting in low income generation. Many farmers have resorted to brewing beer with negative effects on families and communities. The average household income is UGX 6,000 a day, which is far too low to cater for family needs or make any substantial savings.
This project will help young adults and women start animal and bee keeping, along with making crafts for sale thus increasing income. This project will be run through the existing Adult literacy programme and open-door training occasions for young adults bringing them together to learn different practical skills eg basic accounting, computer, basic English, agriculture, environmental studies and various vocational skills eg sewing, crochet, dyeing and printing, cookery, baking, beadwork. Group counselling sessions will allow them to rebuild their personalities. These skills will make them self sufficient and fitting members in society. 
During COVID 19, the municipality registered over 350 teen pregnancies and reports on senior school attendance has shown it dropped very low due to teen pregnancies. The project's aims are:
1.	Increase income generation and decrease poverty in families through increased crop yields
2.	Decrease the number of girls with very low or no formal education.
3.	Address learning problems caused by stressful family problems
5.	Address drug/alcohol abuse and early marriages among the youth
A study of Peacebuilding, Livelihoods and Development Initiatives in Karamoja Region This is a follow-up to the study project focused on understanding the dynamics of Karamoja region with respect to ongoing peacebuilding, livelihoods and other development interventions – their effectiveness, gaps, challenges and achievements. Following the conducted in 4 of the 5 districts of Karamoja region, namely Moroto, Kotido, Kaboong and Nakapiripirit Districts it was deemed necessary to take back the research finding to the communities in Karamoja before finalising the report and launching it in Kampala in February 2008. 
 This is a joint initiative of Justice & Peace Commission Uganda, Community Development Resource Network and CAFOD.  A joint team of staff nominated by each of the three organizations (CAFOD, CDRN, and JPC) participated in the study with the guidance of a consultant and will present the findings of the research in two districts of Karamoja – namely Moroto and Kotido

The study will be conducted in all the 5 districts of Karamoja region, namely Moroto, Kotido, Abim, Kaboong and Nakapiripirit Districts.  The major focus of the study will be the understanding of the ongoing peacebuilding, livelihoods and risk reduction and other development efforts – their effectiveness, gaps, challenges and achievements. The study will especially be interested in finding out why despite years of efforts by different stakeholders the situation in Karamoja apparently remains fragile and violent.

Karamoja Youth Peace Facilitators Development Project Karamoja Youth Peace Facilitators Project envisages addressing  capacity gaps among  former young warriors to better participate in community  based peace building  and  conflict resolution efforts. This is a second year cycle  of  funding  with CRY  Uganda building on  previous two year  cycle from which CRY Uganda  identified with the youth who were former raiders and formed peace groups with the aim of reaching out to their fellow youth who were involved in raiding activities.  An earlier  research in  2006 and  2007 revealed  that  former  warriors  were willing to convince their  brothers to drop the gun and  quit  raiding  to be encouraged,  CRY  offered  support  and capacity  building  in conflict  management,  peace building and re focus on alternative  livelihood.  The core activities by CRY in general include; peer training, dialogue, learning and talks, which the project focuses on utilising in order to bridge the missing link of communication, as sited from other peace building efforts by other agencies. 

The project involves empowering youth (former young warriors) as peace facilitators to be trained in areas of conflict transformation, peace communication,  advocacy, debate & dialogue meetings , do no harm (conflict sensitive approaches to development), documentation, planning,  vulnerability assessment, local resource mobilisation approaches and practices, youth programming, project management cycle, leadership and alternative livelihoods. It is envisioned that these enabled youth will go back to their communities and mobilize other youth to resort from raiding to alternative livelihoods. This has been evident in the first cycle  of the project where community members testified to a great change being spread by the former warriors who had initially been written off as perpetual agents of violence.    

The project is making use of youth friendly methods, approaches and trainings, field-based hands-on practice.  Participatory approaches such as peace theatres, community outreaches resource mapping  for advocacy have been adopted and will continue to be used in the project because of their acceptance by target groups. The trainings are tailored to local context and experiences and inspire participants to leading peace building processes in their regions. The project aims to build on the strengths of the pilot year including wider community acceptance, effective collaboration with the local governments and the opportunity to link the project beneficiaries to other key actors such as the Catholic Church through Caritas Moroto who carry out livelihoods activities in Amudat This is a two year cycle of  September 2011 to October 2012 with funding  of  £16,000 and 2012/2013 of £15,000 respectively.
