Training & capacity building
Capacity building and community sensitization;
We undertake research on environmental law issues with an emphasis on public participation in the enforcement, conversation, and management of natural resources. Our community sensitization and outreach programs comprise of dialogues with communities, workshop trainings, and seminars. These are meant to educate the participants on their environmental rights, obligations, and the prevalent issue of climate change. This initiative has involved the development of bylaws and ordinances on the environment which took place in different districts in Uganda like; Hoima, Tororo, and Masindi districts.Training
We work with communities, Government institutions like the Judiciary, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), the Police, the DPP, Local Government, and schools. In so doing, we train administrators, journalists, judicial officers, lawyers, policymakers, and communities. These trainings enable public participation and promote environmental awareness. We have conducted capacity-building training workshops for the judiciary, lawyers, environmental officers, state prosecutors, and police officers. Some of these trainings include; judicial and journalists’ trainings on climate justice, and community and local government dialogues on the impacts of the EACOP on the environment among others.
