Factsheet
Brief outline of PfR's intervention in Uganda containing key data about the area of the beneficiaries in the Amuria District.
The communities in Amuria district are directly dependent on natural resources to sustain their livelihoods. The Acholi and Iteso are subsistence farmers living in the low-lying, mostly flat Acholi and Teso sub-regions. Populations in areas bordering on Karamoja region and Lango sub-region are vulnerable to drought and flood. The Teso region has a high concentration of seasonal wetlands and, sharing a watershed with parts of Karamoja, is at high risk of flash flooding.
