S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Civil society groups in Karamoja, Uganda, are promoting women’s land rights and cultural resilience amid climate change, mining, and insecurity that threaten communal lands. Organizations like UCOBAC support legal empowerment, collective land registration, inclusive governance, and social norm changes, including “positive masculinity” programs. Communities formed trusts such as RUCODET to negotiate with investors. Meanwhile, Korea donated UGX 10 billion worth of rice to aid 600,000 refugees and 200,000 schoolchildren, reinforcing regional food security.
