Abstract:
The authors explore the social and economic transformation among two pastoral groups in Uganda, the people of Ankole and of Karamajo. In the Ankole region the overriding concern since the colonial period has been the commercialization of livestock production through the introduction of commercial ranching. The lack of success in this endeavour is due not only to the political and economic crises over the years, but to a failure to understand the underlying bottlenecks faced by the various categories of cattle keepers. In pastoral Karamajo the proliferation of firearms has had a profound impact on the organization of herd management. The inherent military organization of herding cooperatives forces the Ngakarimonjong people to adopt not only to changes in their physical environment but also to regional political factors, especially insecurity.
