Abstract
Food insecurity remains a pressing issue in Uganda's Kampala suburbs, affecting vulnerable families disproportionately. This study employed qualitative research methods, including participant observation, semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, and thematic analysis of collected data. Community-led initiatives showed a positive impact by improving access to resources such as food vouchers and agricultural training programmes. Effective community-based interventions can significantly reduce food insecurity among vulnerable families in Kampala suburbs. Future research should focus on scaling these models. Policy makers should prioritise funding for community-led initiatives that combine financial support with skills development to combat food insecurity effectively.
