We are looking back at a successful training in community-based tourism of site guides and cultural groups of the Ik community in Uganda.
We co-created tourist activities aimed at improved livelihoods and sustainable preservation of their oral history. These stories are also visualised into illustrations to continue to share and learn about these stories.
The Ik community live in the extreme northeastern part of the country, bordering South Sudan and Kenya. They’re a small minority group in Uganda, with a population of approximately 7,000 people. The Ik have been historically marginalised and displaced by the neighbouring communities.
But their unique language, cultural heritage and place of living, give them a great advantage in terms of community-based tourism. Kara-Tunga Camps and Kara-Tunga Tours have therefore established Eco Camps in their area to facilitate this development in a sustainable manner.
This project is funded by: Laser Pulse/USAID. Lead implementer: Makerere University School of Public Health-ResilientAfrica Network (MakSPH-RAN) / Gulu Constituent College Moroto (GUCC). In collaboration with EyeOpenerWorks.
