The project aims to restore wetlands, plant 12,000 indigenous trees, and promote improved cook stove adoption in four villages: Azinda, Mokori, Nding Nding, and Upobu, across Alangi and Atyak Sub Counties.
Key Deliverables:
- Raising community awareness about wetland restoration.
- Establishing woodlots with indigenous fruit and environmental tree species.
- Training women groups on making and using improved cook stoves.
Achievements:
- Conducted 8 awareness meetings and produced 100 radio jingles on wetland restoration.
- Established four nursery beds of indigenous tree species managed by women groups.
- Empowered 120 households with improved cook stoves, reducing reliance on forest wood.
- Enhanced community understanding of gender roles in woodlot management and conservation.
