Karamoja Resilience Cluster Workshop: Applying System Mapping Techniques to Resilience

Abstract

The Karamoja Resilience Cluster was established by USAID to improve collaboration and coordination in the Karamoja region. As of January 2020, it consisted of USAID’s implementing partners working in the districts of Kaabong, Karenga, and Kotido. In January 2020, the Market System Monitoring Activity (MSM) hosted a workshop for the Karamoja Resilience Cluster, with support from the Uganda Learning Activity (ULA). The workshop was attended by representatives of all of USAID’s activities in the districts, along with USAID/Uganda leadership and program staff. This workshop was the first convening of the Cluster and provided participants with an opportunity to understand each other’s work and conceptualize how the Cluster will operate moving forward.
