Uganda: Acute Food Insecurity Situation June - July 2025 and Projection for August 2025 - February 2026
Global Food and Nutrition Security

An estimated 1.42 million people in Uganda are expected to face high levels of food insecurity between August 2025 and February 2026. This is an improvement compared to the current analysis period (April to July 2025) when approximately 2.46 million people were classified in IPC Phase 3 or above.

The improvement is largely due to the expected strong harvest season. However, food insecurity remains persistent in Karenga, Napak, Kaabong, Moroto, and Kotido, where between 30 and 45 percent of the population are still classified in IPC Phase 3 or above. It remains essential to implement activities aimed at reducing the food consumption deficits of food insecure populations as well as strengthening their resilience capacities.
