The Kenya–Uganda border region provides a compelling case study for exploring how climate change and various interventions shape conflict and gender dynamics. Over the past five years, pastoralist communities in the Karamoja Cluster have faced multiple crises. Their diverse adaptation strategies have contributed to an ongoing redefinition of gender roles, even as underlying gender attitudes have remained largely unchanged. This disconnect has, in turn, fuelled new forms of social tensions, including rising levels of domestic violence that manifest differently across the border. Drawing on a household survey conducted in October 2024, this bicc report offers insights to help policymakers and NGO practitioners design conflict- and gender-sensitive programmes.
