  AUTHORS: Victoria Kakooza, Richard Awichi, Ainomugisha Smartson

  KEYWORDS: Karamoja, Starvation, Oaxaca-Blinder Model

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Statistics, Vol.14 No.5, October 30, 2024

  ABSTRACT: Starvation in Karamoja remains one of human’s greatest infamies. Not blinking at this fact has resulted in solicitation for more permanent solutions. As part of this, the current study ventured into identifying individual and household factors that add stone to starvation among FHHs compared to MHHs. An Oaxaca Blinder Decomposition extended on Logistic regression was applied. The study found that income, education, age, land access and livestock ownership were factors behind the difference in starvation levels between male and female-headed households. The study suggests policies that promote gender equality, challenge traditional gender roles, and empower women economically and socially to significantly address barriers and create a supportive environment crucial for long-term solutions.
