| dc.description.abstract | The study examined the effectiveness of international aid in Uganda: a case of Oxfam Food Security Program in Moroto. It specifically focused on; examining how food aid is delivered in Moroto, examining how food aid delivered through Oxfam has contributed to food security, analyzing the challenges affecting the effectiveness of food aid in Moroto district within Oxfam’s food security programs, and assessing the sustainability of food aid interventions in promoting long term food security in Moroto. The study was conducted using qualitative descriptive case study design to examine the effectiveness of Oxfam’s food security program in Moroto district, Uganda, using key informant interviews with Oxfam staff and district officials and focus group discussions with farmer groups selected through purposive and simple random sampling. Data were collected from 25 respondents and analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis. The study results showed that while greatly boosting family food availability, nutrition, and protection of vulnerable populations, Oxfam's food aid in Moroto is systematically targeted and effectively distributed through coordinated community-based systems that improve accessibility, predictability, and fairness. Though integration of food aid with livelihoods, community involvement, capacity building, and alignment with local governance systems boosts sustainability, logistical difficulties, insufficient resources, environmental shocks, and coordination gaps limit program effectiveness notwithstanding these advantages. The study ultimately recommended the need to strengthen logistical planning, get sustainable funding, boost community involvement, combine food aid with livelihood and capacity-building projects, and improve coordination with local government structures to guarantee timely delivery, consistency, relevance, sustainability, and long-term efficacy of Oxfam's food security activities in Moroto district. | |
