In response to these environmental conditions, the Karimojong take on extensive livestock keeping as their principal economic activity. They supplement this by opportunistically maintaining small gardens and fields of local crops. Karamoja presents a unique development challenge for unlike the rest of Uganda it is semi-arid, and characterised by a combination of acute poverty, vulnerability to drought, poor infrastructure and basic social services delivery, limited marketing opportunities, natural resource degradation, social and cultural marginalisation, long-standing dependency on external aid and most importantly chronic insecurity.
