While a strong relationship has been established between social capital and food security in the research literature, it is uncertain whether this holds in post-conflict situations. This study examines associations between social capital and food security in post-conflict Lira District, northern Uganda. Since factors affecting food security are complex, we explored the roles of households' characteristics in food security outcomes. Data were collected from March to July 2011 through face-to-face interviews with 221 heads of household in rural Lira. Using multinomial logistic regression, a strong positive association was identified between social capital and household food security. The study also found significant associations of food security with sex, education of household head, amount of cultivated land, and farm and home possessions. The results of this analysis can aid the design of food security programmes that empower poor people while targeting the most vulnerable groups, thereby promoting sustainable development in post-conflict communities.

乌干达北部冲突后农村里拉区的社会资本和粮食安全

虽然在研究文献中已经建立了社会资本与粮食安全之间的密切关系，但不确定这是否适用于冲突后局势。本研究考察了乌干达北部冲突后里拉区社会资本与粮食安全之间的关联。由于影响粮食安全的因素很复杂，我们探讨了家庭特征在粮食安全结果中的作用。数据是从 2011 年 3 月至 2011 年 7 月通过对里拉农村 221 名户主的面对面访谈收集的。使用多项逻辑回归，确定了社会资本与家庭粮食安全之间的强正相关。该研究还发现，粮食安全与性别、户主教育、耕地数量以及农场和家庭财产存在显着关联。
