Urban Hunger in Kampala

Development and relief agencies have poured most of their efforts to stem hunger in rural areas. Most food programs and funds have largely been concentrated in solving hunger in the country side. However, a glaring imbalance exists because poor countries are impoverished as a whole, whether in their rural or urban areas. While rural Uganda’s hunger problem has been mainly due to long-lasting factors such as drought, famine, and war, hunger in the cities is a fairly recent phenomenon.
