We are super proud of the young people.
Thank you @G4ClimateAction and @UNDPUganda for this training in green skills. Our 6 girls and 3 boys participated in a similar training that was held in Kasese. We are able to begin our vegetable garden where we have a vegetable nursery bed, vegetable demonstration garden for learning and coffee trees nursery bed. Our first harvest were made and now planting other fresh organic vegetables. These 9 youth were able to train 25 other youth and more than 20 vegetable gardens have been established in homes of our girls in addition to our demonstration garden
A healthy business reflects the health of its owner. 🌿
Day 3 of Green Skills in Kitgum linked well-being with financial success. Young leaders built financial blueprints for their green ventures, before joining Kitgum Referral Hospital experts to tackle GBV prevention, local referral pathways, and SRHR.
Skilling the mind, protecting the person, sustaining the business. 💚

EHRD Training: Environmental agencies need to provide accessible information, & judicial officers need training on env'tal rights to strengthen defenders’ activism & access to justice-online & offline. @UNDPUganda @G4ClimateAction @LEFJustice @nemaug @GreenAghnet @GlobalFundWomen
Day 2: together with @UNDPUganda under the @UNSpotlight initiative, we continue to train youth in green skills in Kitgum district. The young people now understand why green skills are important and are grounded in the fact that they can make money out of them. Solving a problem or need and making money out of it. Tomorrow the young people will be doing the hands-on practical training. #YouthGreenSkills #ClimateAction #Cop31
Green skills training for youth has officially launched in Kitgum District!
With support from @UNDPUganda and @EUinUG, @G4ClimateAction is empowering young communities, composed of 70% young women and girls and 30% men with vital climate action knowledge and green initiative skills.

Defenders need to follow the money. Lynnet a representative from the ministry of finance taking the defenders through budgeting and how the process happens, how finance flows from national to district level. Because tracking financial commitments is key.

Yesterday, We participated in a capacity-building session for #EnvironmentalHumanRights Defenders on Digital Safety and Technology organised by @G4ClimateAction with @UNDPUganda .
We continue to engage women and girls in flood prone areas in Mbale district to build their resilience to food insecurity. 240 women have been trained in this phase - women CAN!. They do not only grow food together, they also save money together.
Environmental defenders who challenge mining, logging and land interests get targeted. Women and girls face extra abuse: sexualised threats, fake images, threats to their families. All of it is meant to silence them. We will not be silenced. ✊#EHRDs #WomenDefenders #ClimateJustice
“Online threats do not stay online.” A single post can lead to hate speech, then doxxing, then targeted threats, and finally real-world harm. Each safety step breaks that chain. #EHRDs #DigitalSafety - @dianakarakire - Team lead Indigenous Times.
Happening now at @UNDPUganda is a capacity building session for Environmental Human Rights Defenders on Digital Safety & Technology-Facilitated Gender Based Violence together with the Global Institute for Media and Human Rights and @IndigenousTimez
