Stärkung der Dürreresilienz in der Karamoja-Region Strengthening drought resilience in the Karamoja region In der Region Karamoja im Norden Ugandas sind die Viehwirtschaft und der Regenfeldbau eine wesentliche Grundlage für die dort auf traditionelle Art und Weise lebenden Menschen als auch für die Wirtschaftsentwicklung der Region. Extreme Naturereignisse, wie Dürre und Starkregen, sowie eine fortschreitende Agrarfront und vermehrt grenzübergreifende Migration führen dazu, dass die Anzahl der Viehhalter, die ihre traditionelle Produktionsbasis und somit ihre Lebensgrundlage verlieren, stetig wächst. Die Folgen des Klimawandels sind ein Faktor in dieser Problemlage. Die Bundesregierung finanziert in diesem Umfeld Maßnahmen im Bereich des EZ-Schwerpunktes Ländliche Entwicklung und Ernährungssicherung. Dadurch soll die Bevölkerung in ihrer Widerstandfähigkeit gegen extreme Naturereignisse gestärkt werden. Zudem werden Ihre Ernährungsgrundlagen und Beschäftigungs- bzw. Einkommensmöglichkeiten gesichert.Als Zielgruppe wird die indigene agro-pastorale und pastoral wirtschaftende Bevölkerung, die in der Karamoja Sub-Region lebt, inkl. der migrierenden Nomaden aus Kenia und Südsudan angesprochen. Die KfW arbeitet hierbei mit der GIZ und dem Ministry of Water and Environment in Uganda eng zusammen. Insgesamt soll das FZ-Modul einen Beitrag zur nationalen Umsetzung der Agenda 2030 leisten, wobei besonders die SDGs (1) Armutsbekämpfung, (2) Ernährungssicherung, (8) Wirtschaftswachstum, (13)Klimaresilienz, (15) Leben auf dem Land und (16) Frieden forciert werden. In the Karamoja sub-region of north-eastern Uganda, livestock production and rain-fed agriculture are essential to the traditional livelihoods of the people and to the economic development of the region. Extreme natural events, such as drought and heavy rains, as well as an advancing agricultural front and increased cross-border migration are leading to a steady increase in the number of pastoralists who are losing their traditional production base and thus their livelihoods. The consequences of climate change are a major contributor to these developments.The aim of the Project is to strengthen the population's drought resilience. In addition, the nutritional basis as well as employment and income opportunities should be improved. The target group (indigenous peoples) is the agro-pastoral and pastoral farming population of the Karamoja sub-region as well as migrating nomads from the bordering regions in Kenya and South Sudan. The Project contributes to the objective of the IGAD Drought Disaster Resilience and Sustainability Initiative (IDDRSI) by strengthening the drought resilience of communities in arid and semi-arid areas. It also contributes to the Uganda Vision 2040, the Marshall Plan of BMZ and the Agenda 2063 of the African Union.
