The USAID WFS Activity aims to improve the security and resilience of water and food systems in Uganda’s northeastern Kyoga Basin. Operating in the Lokok, Awoja, and Lokere watersheds, the Activity takes a market-based approach as it works with local communities and individuals to build resilience to shocks and stressors such as climate change and conflict that endanger local food and water systems.

MSA plays a multifaceted role in the Activity, leading Learning, Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI), and Market Systems Development (MSD) tracks. This includes designing and conducting market system and private sector landscape analysis, general learning efforts, and overseeing GESI diagnostic and social impact assessments.
