The equipment distribution is part of the “Fostering Sustainability and Resilience for Food Security in the Karamoja Sub-region” (F-SURE) project, a five-year initiative funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and jointly implemented by FAO and UNDP.
In the last year's season, the project registered some progress where over 2,800 acres of land were plowed within the districts of Nabilatuk, Nakapiripirit, and Napak while other districts missed out.
Despite calls for more additional tractors, some tractors have broken down and parked at Nabuin Research Institute waiting for repairs.
