For many households in Karamoja, Uganda 🇺🇬, livestock aren’t just animals — they’re life, food, and income 🐄🐐💚
But one tiny enemy causes big damage 👇
🪰 Spreads trypanosomiasis
🪰 Kills animals
🪰 Reduces productivity and raises production costs
💪 Action is underway.
With support from
@FAO and
@MAAIF_Uganda, surveys in Aug 2025 confirmed high tsetse presence in Karenga, Kotido & Kaabong.
🚩 Through the
@EUinUG EU-funded
#PLACE Project, 20,000 tsetse targets have now been deployed — protecting herds, strengthening livelihoods, and giving communities a better chance to thrive.
Because when livestock are protected, people are too ✨
