Katine

Katine is a sub-county in the <a href="/facts/Soroti_District/nCgk9qnc">Soroti District</a> of <a href="/facts/Uganda/PabdegRm">Uganda</a>. It contains 66 villages, one of which is also called Katine.
Since October 2007, the sub-county has been the focus of a three-year aid programme, undertaken by <a href="/facts/AMREF/6KNAjVrf">AMREF</a>, with funding from <a href="/facts/Barclays_Bank/2M992GXz">Barclays Bank</a> and donations from readers of <a href="/facts/The_Guardian/H84wwJYM">The Guardian</a> newspaper, which is tracking the project. AMREF's Katine Community Partnerships Project is aiming to improve living conditions, working across five key components: water, health, education, livelihoods and governance. The NGO <a href="/facts/Farm_Africa/1b1pdxMb">Farm Africa</a> is helping with the livelihoods component, and in 2016 embarked on a new project to help the Katine farming cooperative sell their produce in high-value regional markets. Much of the publicity surrounding the project focuses on the village but it is the entire sub-county that is the target of the project. The Guardian newspaper returned to Katine in December 2015 to report on the progress made.
