Resúmen
Karamoja sub-‐region is known to suffer from recurrent food insecurity and high levels of malnutrition influenced by several factors including unpredictable climatic conditions, insecurity, crop and livestock pest, parasite and disease incidences, poor sanitation and feeding practices and poor social and economic capital among others. This has resulted into the need for frequent surveys and studies by government, UNWFP, UNICEF and other stakeholders in order to understand the situation, and make appropriate and timely interventions. In addition to understanding the general food security status of the entire population it was deemed necessary to incorporate a special analysis for the Extremely Vulnerable Households (EVH) in Karamoja sub-‐region. The food security and nutrition situation of the EVH households in Karamoja is fragile owing to their lack of productivity. EVH households have low ability to cope and lack resilience to recurrent shock and are generally worse off than the general population and thus the need to monitor them closely. The current assessment was therefore part of the routine monitoring strategy normally done semi-‐annually to provide critical information on key performance indicators to enable effective planning for the sub-‐region.
