| Summary: | This report concludes the Engaging Male
Youth in Karamoja project funded by the Learning on Gen¬der
and Conflict in Africa (LOGiCA) Trust Fund of the World
Bank. The study focused on the role of male youth and
violence in southern Karamoja and tested the impact of an
adapted communication and relationships intervention on
violence and criminal activities. Multiple aspects relating
to security and the identity of male youth, including
interpersonal and domestic violence, criminal behavior,
attitudes and perceptions, livelihood adaptations, and the
sta¬tus of male youth within their communities, were examined. |
