CIDD-UG in partnership with Pallisa District Local Government have rolled out mass community education on impact of climate change. “Most of what you see in the world today as conflicts are as a result of poor environmental management issues like inadequate water supply in our communities let alone food shortage that has caused uprising in many parts of the world and high crime rate. “If people fail to sustainably manage the echo system, the world is set to experience the worst”, said Samuka Muhammad, the District Natural Resource Officer Pallisa District Local Government during community sensitization on need for communities to adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts in communities.

We want to thank CIDD-UG for their partnership with Local Government. CIDD-UG’s support to the district will help to change people’s attitudes and practices to start taking climate change adaptation and impact mitigation as their complementary role. As head of department where this project is directly falling, I pledge total support to CIDD-UG and will always be available even on short notice because the issue of climate change can no longer be discussed behind closed doors so we need to emulate CIDD-UG.
