Abstract

The Uganda 2016 Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA) measures the food security and resilience in Karamoja, North-East, Uganda. In 2015, three United Nations (UN) agencies – the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the World Food Programme (WFP) – developed a resilience strategy for Karamoja. This Joint Resilience Strategy (JRS) represents a commitment and collaborative focus for UNICEF, FAO, and WFP’s efforts to build resilience in the Karamoja region. The overall goal of the JRS is to improve the food security and nutrition status of the region during the period from 2016 to 2020. This JRS identifies the need for the three agencies to develop a common approach to measuring resilience in the context of Karamoja, which have thus adopted FAO’s Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis-II (RIMA II) approach to measure resilience to food insecurity there.
