Relief and disaster preparedness state minister Musa Ecweru has urged non governmental organisations (NGOs) to provide more farm tools to internally displaced people returning to their homes.
"To ensure that there is food sustainability, NGO's should provide facilities that help families produce their own food and cash crops," Ecweru said.
Ecweru said there was need for both the Government and NGOs to work together for the recovery and development of the regions affected by the LRA war and floods.
Areas in Teso, Lango and Karamoja sub-regions were last year hit by flood, destroying gardens and infrastructure.
Ecweru made the remarks while receiving a donation worth sh34m from the Lutheran Church Mission to people in the three sub-regions.
The items included 1,000 hoes, blankets, clothes and mosquito nets.

The mission's vice president, the Rev. Charles Bameka, handed over the items to Ecweru at his office on Monday.
