Coloma School Staff House Coloma is a mixed boarding primary school which is continuing to grow and develop since its inception in 2010. There are currently 350 children at school. To educate more children more teachers are needed and therefore more teacher’s accommodation is needed. The school offers a quality education for 7 years of primary school and has a special  emphasis on orphans and children from vulnerable homes. The latter 2 groups are disadvantaged groups and it is only through education that they can alleviate their and their families desperate situation. Presently there are 3 staff houses at school and a limiting factor to accepting more pupils is a lack of teachers. Being in a rural area there needs to be accommodation and thus the need for another staff house.

COMPASS 2015 Uganda CAFOD is engaging 4 partners to conduct participatory research to include the voices of those living in poverty in the post-2015 debate. Through the Ugandan National Commission for Justice and Peace, the Justice and peace Commission of the Soroti Catholic Diocese will implement a participatory research project in 8 sub-counties. In the urban setting, the research will engage with the youth both employed and unemployed and the people working in the informal sector.

Integrated Community Development Programme III The project is designed for the Karimojong and the neighbouring ethnic groups  in Moroto Uganda, which includes the Turkana, Pokot, Toposa and Didinga who are semi-nomadic pastoralists and prone to cattle raiding due to their way of life. Due to increased frequency and destruction of raiding, cattle keeping is no longer the major source of livelihood for most Karamoja people, hence the locals have resorted to agriculture despite unreliable climatic patterns in the region. These non-sustainable means of livelihoods influenced by cattle raiding and changing climatic conditions has predetermined the poverty levels in the region rendering the locals dependant on food aid for sustainability. Other underlying issues including high infant mortality rate, short life expectancy, high illiteracy and high prevalence of conflicts have also contributed greatly to people's vulnerability to poverty.  

A conflict analysis conducted by SSD staff coupled with the research conducted by CAFOD, Uganda national Justice and Peace Commission and Community Development Resource Network identified poverty, high levels of illiteracy, frequent droughts, lack of preparedness and low capacities to cope with drought, readily available guns, poor governance and negative cultural practices as causes to the volatile situation in the region. Strategies of how to address these problems were also identified which is the foundation of SSD's integrated programme. The programme integrates activities in peacebuilding, livelihoods improvements and disaster risk reduction in the diocese of Moroto covering the districts of Nakapiripirit and Moroto in North eastern Uganda.
STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PROJECT Northern Uganda has been grappling with a number of political & socio-economic challenges which include human displacement, damage of infrastructures, environment and cultural degradation. Some of these challenges are as result of the war that lasted for over 2 decades. The sub region has the highest incidence of poverty with 67.7% of the population living below poverty line compared to Karamoja 65.7% and 1.6% in Kampala Capital city (UBOS 2019/2020). The level of household income is generally low since majority of people depend on subsistence farming, with the household per capita income being estimated at UGX.200, 000 per month (IPC report 2017). The environment and natural resources are under threat from natural or man-made drivers of change namely, poverty, rapid population growth, unplanned urbanization, pollution among others. 

In the plight of the above challenges, Caritas Gulu Archdiocese in partnership with Catholics Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD)-Caritas UK implemented Integrated Food Security Programme (IFSP) for more than 5 years and now intends to implement a project titled “Strengthening Community Resilience Project-SCRP”. The overall goal of the project is to contribute to inclusive climate resilient livelihoods where multiple stakeholders collaborate to manage the ecosystems to strengthen climate resilience and sustainable development.
The project shall be implemented in Agoro sub-county – Lamwo district for 3 years (2022-2025) targeting a total of 300 households as direct beneficiaries. The proposed intervention is anchored on the key development agendas of the country like the NDPII, the parish development model and vision 2040. Importantly the interventions align well with new CAFOD programme strategy with direct contribution to outcome 1,3 and 4 of the strategy.

Ebola Prevention in Northern and Karamoja Regions through awareness creation and WASH Activities The following activities are being proposed as they are already part of the Ebola task force workplans of Kotido, Kaabong and Karenga. The Task Forces have been developed 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:  Produce and disseminate Information, Education and Communication materials to community members in project locations of Kotido, Karenga and  Kaabong to increase awareness on EVD. EVD messages shall be translated in the local language and distributed/disseminated to the target locations. Facilitate District Ebola task force members to carry out 140 radio talk shows in different local radio stations to create awareness on EVD, encourage people to continue accessing basic health care and clarify some emerging issues providing regular updates, responding to questions and dispelling misinformation and rumours). In addition, produce and air radio spot messages on EVD in different local radio stations to increase awareness on EVD. These shall result to increased awareness about the EVD in the community and therefore reducing the risk of spread and unnecessary fears.
