… the stories of resilience, innovation, and collaboration featured in this newsletter remind us of our collective commitment to building a better future.
From addressing critical issues of food insecurity and gender-based violence to fostering peace and empowering communities, the work being done across Uganda and beyond is inspiring and transformative.
We reflect on the recent Kasunga XI Leaders’ Retreat, which gathered an impressive network of stakeholders at the tranquil Mountains of the Moon Hotel. This event served as a vital platform for dialogue, bringing together leaders, community representatives, and experts eager to address the pressing issues facing our nation. The retreat was centered on fostering peace and development while emphasizing the importance of free and fair elections.
Similarly, the 2nd Annual Bidibidi Peace Convention in Yumbe District underscored the importance of land access and food security for fostering social cohesion among refugees and host communities.
Advocacy remains a cornerstone for addressing systemic inequalities. Whether it’s empowering marginalized communities or creating equitable opportunities for Uganda’s youth, the focus on justice and inclusion resonates deeply. At the same time, innovative solutions like the Nutrition Information Management System (NIMS) in refugee settlements and sustainable farming initiatives underscore how technology and collaboration can enhance outcomes for vulnerable populations.
The challenges posed by floods in Ntoroko District and food insecurity in refugee communities remind us of the urgency of timely, coordinated responses. KRC-Uganda’s interventions, including water filters, psychosocial support, and nutrition programs, demonstrate the importance of adaptive strategies in the face of climate and humanitarian crises.
This November, the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence takes center stage as we rally to eliminate violence against women and girls. With millions affected globally, this campaign serves as a reminder of the work still needed to create a world where everyone can live free from fear and harm.
Thank you for being a part of this journey, and we hope you find inspiration in the stories featured in this newsletter. Together, we can work towards a more inclusive, healthy, and harmonious Uganda.
