2024 edition
Same as 2023- widespread lack of access:
- due to reduced incomes, and floods - in traditionally food secure urban areas, including the capital, Kampala, more than 600,000 people were food insecure due to the restrictive measures introduced to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus;
- the food security situation in urban areas was the most affected by the COVID‑19‑related restrictive measures, as poor households mainly rely on the daily wages obtained through casual labor, petty trading, food vending, construction activities and domestic work;
- despite the phasing out of some restrictive measures, the food security situation of the urban poor has not significantly improved, as the restrictions still in place on business operations are resulting in a slow recovery of the economic activities;
- in rural areas, torrential rains in April and May 2020 resulted in localized crop and livelihood losses (2021)

- severe localized food insecurity:
- due to weather extremes, civil insecurity, and high food prices - in Karamoja Region, about 518,000 people, 41% of the population, are estimated to be severely food insecure between March and July 2022, as a result of consecutive poor rainy seasons that adversely affected crop and livestock production, frequent episodes of cattle rustling leading to the loss of productive assets, and high food prices (2022)
Rewritten: too little of the 2021 text remains to mark the changes.

The same text in 2023 and 2024.
- severe localized food insecurity:
- due to weather extremes, civil insecurity, and high food prices - the latest analysis, conducted in the northeastern agro-pastoral Karamoja region, estimates that about 582,000 million people are facing acute food insecurity between April and August 2023;
- these conditions reflect the adverse impact of weather shocks, crop and livestock diseases, civil insecurity and high food prices;
- the significant deterioration of the food security situation during the last 12 months in Karamoja Region is mainly due to protracted insecurity that has caused livelihood losses and consecutive poor local harvests;
- in 2023, the national average price of maize increased by 20% between January and May 2023, with seasonal patterns compounded by a fast depletion of stocks due to a drought‑reduced production in 2022 (2023)
