Uganda

The first cropping season has ended across the bimodal areas of central and southern Uganda, with mixed production outcomes expected. Agro-climatic conditions were generally favourable during the onset of the season from February through March, supporting timely planting and good crop establishment. However, the uneven distribution of rainfall during April, May, and June, followed by prolonged dry spells in several areas, likely constrained crop development during the critical stages. IPC estimates for the current period (April – July 2026) In Karamoja region show that 473,000 people are in IPC Phase 3 or above) including 41,000 people in IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) and 432,000 in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis).
