Flooding Crisis in Matugga: Impacts and Local Resilience
Flooding threatens Matugga, Uganda, from River Mayanja overflows during heavy rains. Affected areas include Kawanda-Matugga, Bombo Road, Gobero, Gombe, Masulita, and Kakiri, damaging infrastructure and farms. Hundreds, mainly farmers and low-income residents, suffer displacement, crop loss, and health risks. Locals cope via terracing, tree planting, early warnings from ground cracks, NAADs farming programs, and livelihood diversification, though relocation fails as families return home.
