In Uganda, Oxfam’s focus is on supporting those affected by conflict, lobbying for peace, rights of nomadic herders, and livelihoods.
Uganda is faced with diverse challenges. In the north, recent decades have seen communities terrorized by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), forcing hundreds of thousands of people from their homes and destroying trade and livelihoods.
Pastoralist communities in the northeast have suffered years of neglect and an unfettered flow of arms through the porous borders with Sudan and Kenya. In the lush, mountainous southwest, climate change is posing serious threats to people’s access to water and farmland.
