Transforming fragmented aid into coordinated, community-owned development.
For decades, Karamoja has received extensive humanitarian and development aid. Yet despite this attention, the region continues to face chronic poverty and recurring crises. The problem is not the amount of aid — it’s how that aid works.
Through the Enhancing the Effectiveness of the Aid Architecture project, Herders of the Horn(KHH) is helping transform how development functions in Karamoja — moving from disconnected projects to an integrated system of cooperation,transparency, and accountability.
We are mapping who is doing what, identifying overlaps and funding gaps, and facilitating joint planning among donors, government, and civil society. Our approach treats Karamoja’s development ecosystem as an interconnected system rather than a collection of competing initiatives.
By strengthening governmentleadership and promoting coordination across agencies, KHH is helping create coherence between short-term relief and long-term resilience. At the same time, our emphasis on community feedback mechanisms ensures that interventions reflect real local priorities, not donor assumptions.
