Karamoja Pastoralism and Policy Course
The Pastoralism and Policy Course (PPC) aims to improve understanding of pastoralism in Karamoja, and targets policy makers, practitioners and researchers. The course is based on an extensive compilation of evidence on the economic, social and environmental aspects of pastoralism in the region and elsewhere. New course materials are being developed, along with a group of course trainers. The process involves the development of a curriculum and textbook for PPC courses at two universities in Uganda, and short policy and practitioner briefs in support of sustainable pastoral development. The PPC involves partnership with the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), Makerere University, Gulu University, the Center for Basic Research, and the Karamoja Development Forum.
