Training & capacity building
Capacity building and Community Sensitization;
We carry out research and community engagement to enhance the public's role in enforcing and managing natural resources. Our initiatives emphasize public participation and awareness of environmental rights and obligations, focusing particularly on the pressing issue of climate change.
Our community sensitization and outreach programs include:- Dialogues with local communities
- Workshop trainings
- Seminars
These programs aim to equip participants with knowledge about their environmental rights, responsibilities, and practical strategies for sustainable resource management. Through this strategy, we have facilitated the development of bylaws and ordinances on environmental protection in districts such as Hoima, Tororo, and Masindi.
