Leveraging culture as a source of livelihood will ease the hostility between culture, development and a “modern” lifestyle and encourage young people in Karamoja to respect, preserve and embrace their traditions whilst also enhancing their opportunities in life.
Restless Development is implementing the cultural tourism component with the support from partner Kara-Tunga Foundation due to it’s regional experience in developing and marketing sustainable cultural tourism in Karamoja.
The Youth Motivated Innovations for Karamoja Project is a pilot program which has the overall aim of supporting young (out-school youth) people to take a leadership role in bringing transformative change to Karamoja.
Therefore Kara-Tunga has been training 4 youth groups (76 members in total) from 4 sub counties in Moroto District. Youth representatives were taken to Kenya for exposure visit (watch below video) and their groups were trained on below subject on return:
Impact of COVID-19 on Community Tourism on Mt Moroto – The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has reached even the most remote areas of Uganda. The host communities used to benefit from additional income through community tourism and freedom of movement for local business.
A partnership in linking Karimojong crafts producers to tourism markets in Uganda with the ambition to create job opportunities and preservation of culture of indigenous communities.
Tourism Hospitality Training in Feedback and Compliments Training – At Kara-Tunga we highly value development of interpersonal skills and have had the opportunity to collaborate with experienced facilitators like the Akiiki initiative and the last weeks with Marielle.
