SUMMARY:Karamoja Resilience Conference
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Pathways to resilience in Karamoja Cluster
The conference will take stock of recent research in Karamoja, northwest Kenya, and neighbouring areas of South Sudan and Ethiopia, and to draw out lessons for policy and programming. This conference will provide an opportunity for critical reflection on the different pathways to resilience in the “Karamoja Cluster”, to share new learning from the dynamics of change and innovation happening in these areas, and to promote dialogue on policy options at regional, national and local levels.
The KRSU will use the conference as a platform for researchers from Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan and South Omo, Ethiopia to present their research, alongside international researchers. The conference will include topics such as:

Trends in pastoralist and agro-pastoralist livelihoods, and policy implications
Gender and development
Challenges and opportunities for equitable livestock development
Securing access to land and water
Basic services and social protection – health, education and safety nets
Drought management and drought response
Diversified and alternative livelihoods
Small towns and urban growth
The persistence of child malnutrition
Social change
Changes to governance, and local, national and regional policies
Cross border issues in the Karamoja Cluster- market integration; access to resources and reciprocity; peace and conflict management
Emerging trends – extractives, land acquisition, alcohol abuse, and the impacts of new infrastructure and communication
