The Abim Simsim Groundnuts Sorghum Livestock livelihood zone (LZ) is an agriculturally-based zone that extends across all of Abim District and a small part of Moroto District. It is located in the Karamoja Region of Uganda.
The information presented refers to August 2008-July 2009, a relatively bad year by local standards (i.e. a year of below average production and rural food security, when judged in the context of recent years). Provided there are no fundamental and rapid shifts in the economy, the information in this profile is expected to remain valid for approximately five years (i.e. until 2015).
