The University of Copenhagen, Denmark, is an academic and research collaborator of Gulu University Constituent College – Moroto through the five-year Pastoral Resilience and Sense of Place in Karamoja, Uganda (PReSense) project, funded by the DANIDA Fellowship Centre (DFC).
The collaboration focuses on advancing knowledge of climate change adaptation, pastoral resilience, and sustainable livelihoods among communities in Karamoja. Through the Sense of Place approach, the project seeks to deepen understanding of pastoral communities’ experiences, indigenous knowledge, and adaptation strategies while informing research and development interventions that reflect local realities.
The partnership also contributes to institutional capacity building through collaborative research and the training of three PhD students under the supervision of the project research team. This initiative supports the development of research expertise and strengthens Gulu University Constituent College – Moroto’s contribution to evidence-based solutions for sustainable development in Karamoja.
