| description | The Karamoja Household Resilience Systems Map was developed from a need to understand better the factors that enable a household to be resilient, specifically the interplay between humanitarian support and access to livelihoods and markets. The previous map created by the MSM team, the Uganda AgriculturalMarket System Map, captured a rough overview of household resilience as part of the broader agriculture market system. However, when it came to activities placing their interventions on the map and identifying important areas, the "Household Resilience" subsystem quickly became overwhelmed. Evidently, household resilience is a key part of the broader system and merits a more nuanced understanding.
The creation of the Resilience Map coincided roughly with the creation of the Karamoja Resilience Cluster in USAID. Thus, the Resilience Map would focus on Karamoja households and attempt to capture the unique aspects of Karamoja's livelihoods. This work is a key step in merging the development and humanitarian fields in USAID. Both Feed the Future and Food for Peace activities operate in Karamoja, and the resilience map is a useful tool they can use for collaboration. |
