RELIABLE CLIMATE CAMPAIGN (2023)
Climate change in Northern Uganda have become a general concern and generated debate at all levels of community leadership and Social service provision, thus requiring practical intervention Strategies for addressing these issues. Some communities have participated in capacity building activities implemented by agencies of the Government of Uganda, NGOs, and international agencies and are involved in climate related activities in Agro-production. However, most of the actively productive individuals are not making good harvest because of the unpredictable rain format, a situation that is perpetually keeping the Northern Ugandan communities in chronic poverty levels. It is expected that participation of communities in the reliable climate campaign will allow them to network, share experiences, interact with professional climate change experts, partners and mostly have total Agro-forestry information and access to better tree seedling verities. It is expected that over 1,000 economically active individual will benefit from our campaign as we reach out to the communities using theatre art edutainment.
Wadeg Kavera
WADEG KAVERA project's overall objective is to sensitize the Gulu City communities on the dangers of polyethylene (kavera) to the users, the environment, and resources. Gulu city council has four dumping sites as a way of trying to manage waste in the city however, during the rainy season dirty water flows from the waste into the communities around the dumping sites contaminating the air and bringing about the possibility of cholera outbreak in these areas and one of the major causes of this is surely the polyethylene (Kavera) and plastic bottles which don’t decay. However, many plastic bottles are being collected by Taka Taka, and some individuals collect them for sale to the concerned companies for recycling, many plastic bottles and polythene (kavera) still float on the swamps and get buried in the soil and releasing toxic chemicals to the soil which is causing soil degradation and depletion because of reckless dumping by the citizen and this is the leading cause of poverty in Gulu City and northern Uganda at large.This project aims to advocate for the elimination of polyethylene in Gulu City and bring an end to reckless dumping.Read more...Click here to download
