Frontiers Children Development Organization (FCDO), an implementing partner of the Karamoja Strong Program funded by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), continues to play a vital role in strengthening community resilience across the Karamoja cluster.
As part of or commitment to quality implementation and accountability, a team from FCDO, together with counterparts from DRC, conducted a joint site monitoring visit across project locations in Lobei, Lochor Emeyen, Lokiriama, Urum, and Loreng’ipi. The purpose of the visit was to assess ongoing interventions, monitor progress, and engage directly with beneficiary communities.
Guided by the program’s slogan, “Community Led Resilience,” the project focuses on equipping farmers with practical skills in resilient design practices. Through hands-on training, farmers have gained knowledge in sustainable land management techniques such as swales and berm construction for water retention, water catchment preparation for tree planting, deep soil preparation through bio-intensive double digging, and improved planting methods.
These interventions are transforming how communities interact with their environment. By improving soil fertility, conserving water, and increasing the survival rates of crops and trees in arid and semi-arid areas, households are gradually strengthening their food production systems. This is significantly reducing their vulnerability to recurring drought and unpredictable rainfall.
Through strong collaboration and community-driven approaches, FCDO and DRC are fostering sustainable livelihoods and building a more resilient future for communities across the Karamoja cluster.
