We are a women led Community Based movement based in Hoima mobilizing grassroots communities on climate justice, environmental and human rights Protection
Some of the most meaningful environmental Conversations don't happen in conference rooms; they happen when people roll up their sleeves & get to work. @YGCUganda continues to support university students who are transforming environmental responsibility into meaningful action.
👫Communities become stronger by learning from each other. 🤝 Last week, AFIEGO supported an exchange learning visit between oil-affected communities from Greater Masaka and Bunyoro sub-regions. The communities shared lessons, challenges and affirmed unity and collaboration.
This week, community members from Greater Masaka region visited @IGENEastAfrica clean energy hub in Kikuube district to explore clean energy technologies that reduce energy costs and promote environmental conservation
👫Community members from Greater Masaka visited the clean energy hub in Hoima to learn about clean energy energy solutions. The community members were encouraged to adopt solutions that reduce reliance on polluting energy sources and support a just energy transition💡🔋.
AFIEGO continues to support communities in organising and amplifying their voices in demanding for justice and accountability. In the last week, committee members of the Greater Masaka oil-affected community group paid a visit to oil-affected communities in Mutukula, Kyotera.
We need to stop brain storming climate solutions for grassroots communities from the internet but get involved directly in and with grassroots communities by interracting with the people directly onground, understand their lived experiences, create stories and solutions with them
Inclusive consultations are key in developing effective strategies. Last week, AFIEGO and its partners under @IGENEastAfrica held a meeting to facilitate consultations with network members for the development of the network's strategic plan.
