IIn this month’s edition, we are excited to share the stories of Wekomire Early Childhood Centre under Kulea Watoto Project that is making a positive impact on the livelihoods and nutrition of the community by setting up demonstration coops. We spotlight Kanyere, a beneficiary who has transformed her life towards economic growth through poultry.
As communities involved in agriculture face challenges related to climate change, food insecurity, and
environmental degradation, agroecology emerges as a sustainable approach to farming and food systems that emphasises nutrition, environmental sustainability, and social equity. Through its initiatives within communities, KRC-Uganda continues to empower communities, especially youth and women.
In another account, KRC-Uganda, in partnership with Enabel through the VIBRANT Project, is transforming the livelihoods of vanilla growing farmers in the Rwenzori sub-region by empowering them through training, access to markets, and fair prices. In articles shared, field officers expound on the challenges and effects of late harvesting of vanilla on the market value of the final product.
Such stories amplify the strength of community led initiatives in enabling sustainable growth and economic resilience among communities, especially for youth and women who remain the primary targets for partnerships between farmers, cooperatives, NGOS, and governments.
