Our Programs
Climate Resilience Program
Driven by our vision of enhancing the adaptive capacity and resilience of communities, this program targets climate-vulnerable communities in Uganda by providing an enabling environment and sustainable livelihood opportunities for the most affected communities to foster their adaptation and resilience. We work with climate-displaced communities (Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs), rural communities, and communities in informal settlements in urban areas and cities.
Youth and Grassroots Capacity Building Program
To ensure that climate-displaced people in Muhokya IDP Camp can grow their food to sustain their households and become self-reliant, we support households in this camp with resources to access agricultural land in the neighboring host communities. Resources include financial costs to rent land, farming equipment, and seeds. In the past 3 years, we have supported 20 households (200+ people) to farm on 10 acres of land and provided training in agroecological farming practices to foster resilient farming practices and enhance food security among displaced households in Muhokya Camp.
Education Program
Climate change-induced displacement has facilitated a harsh financial reality for all camp members who predominantly depended on their land to generate income from farming. To address these financial challenges in the camp, Abayuuti Climate Action, for the past three years, has been implementing a skills development project to increase the economic sustainability and viability of camp residents by training technical skills to camp members that promote craft and benefit the local economy.
