Series Information
This is a follow-up to the baseline survey that was conducted in 2016. Thus, the RIMA 2019 datasets can be combined as a panel with the RIMA 2016 datasets. The data is only meant to track households and not individuals. Therefore, there is no common individual identifier.
Abstract
The Uganda 2019 Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA) measures the food security and resilience in Karamoja, North-East, Uganda. In 2015, three United Nations (UN) agencies – the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the World Food Programme (WFP) – developed a resilience strategy for Karamoja. This Joint Resilience Strategy (JRS) represents a commitment and collaborative focus for UNICEF, FAO, and WFP’s efforts to build resilience in the Karamoja region. The overall goal of the JRS is to improve the food security and nutrition status of the region during the period from 2016 to 2020. This JRS identifies the need for the three agencies to develop a common approach to measuring resilience in the context of Karamoja, which have thus adopted FAO’s Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis-II (RIMA II) approach to measure resilience to food insecurity there. A baseline survey was already conducted in 2016, while this survey represents the follow up that was conducted in 2019.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The sample of the household survey is composed in total of 2 380 households. The sampling strategy is stratified according to the following five strata: (1) target households, which are those reached by the JRS in 12 parishes of the Moroto and Napak districts; (2) direct spillover households, which are those located in the remaining parishes of the Moroto and Napak districts and are not involved in the JRS; (3) indirect spillover households, which are those located in the two districts where the JRS is not actually operating (Kotido and Nakapiripirit) but where other UN projects are ongoing; (4) the ‘different ethnicity’ group, which includes those households located in two districts (Abim and Amudat) populated with ethnic groups that are different from the Karamojong;21 (5) and the pure control group, comprised of households located in the Kaabong district, which have the same ethnic group and socioeconomic conditions, mostly pastoralism, as the target group, but which are not involved in the JRS. The overall attrition rate in the sample if 17 percent, which is reduced to 9 percent when replaced households are included in the sample.
