Our current engagements in Uganda
We work with pastoralist communities to rehabilitate and restore degraded lands through participatory rangeland management and inclusive land-use planning. Our initiatives promote biodiversity conservation and sustainable land stewardship by establishing conservation clubs in schools and communities, and facilitating dialogues on human–wildlife coexistence, land rights, and environmental governance. We advocate for the rights of pastoralist and indigenous peoples to land, natural resources, and self-determination in leadership and decision-making processes. Through constructive policy engagement, we advance inclusive dialogues on land and food rights to foster equity, resilience, and sustainable livelihoods. We also strengthen the capacity of smallholder farmers to adopt agroecology and regenerative food systems that restore soil health, improve nutrition, and revitalize indigenous and orphaned seed varieties—preserving both biodiversity and cultural heritage.
Livelihoods and Agriculture: Agroecology promotion
We strengthen the capacity of smallholder farmers to transition to agroecology and regenerative food systems that enhance soil health, improve nutrition, and promote community well-being, including the revitalization of indigenous and orphaned seed varieties. Our project on promoting women in organic agriculture in Lolelia, Kapeta Sub-county, Kotido District supports over 200 rural women farmers to adopt organic practices through household kitchen gardening and sustainable food production.
Ecosystems protection and restoration
We work with pastoralist communities to rehabilitate and restore degraded lands through participatory rangeland management and inclusive land-use planning. We raise awareness on the dangers of environmental and biodiversity degradation by establishing conservation clubs in schools and communities, and by facilitating dialogues on human–wildlife conflicts and land rights. Our project also promotes the active role of women and youth in rangeland rehabilitation across Kotido and Kaabong districts.
