Climate change has also introduced new challenges, including unfamiliar livestock diseases that have killed several animals. Michael Achia, a herdsman from Kautakou Village in Napak District, says water scarcity, pasture shortage, and tick-borne diseases are their biggest challenges. Achia says the water crisis has forced pastoralists to compete with communities for borehole water, which is insufficient for livestock

Yes, things are worse in Uganda, but sometimes the media and social media fuel hatred. Some people praise Museveni, others criticize him, and this division leads to conflict. In the end, it is the innocent and ordinary people who suffer and die.

We truly thank everyone who helped us in the fundraiser we had, which raised money for renting the land where we carry out all our project activities and trainings. Your support enabled us to pay six months, and we are deeply grateful. Our friend and supporter Doro @ditsch42 has now started a new fundraiser to help us own our own land.#EcoNetwork #uganda Please consider supporting us again: https://www.gofundme.com/f/buying-land-eco-youths-network-uganda?attribution_id=sl:245130f6-e40a-4638-8650-7432c7fbaaba

Today, I would like to draw your attention to the awesome work that @pacific06 and his colleagues are doing for the @econetwork in #Uganda! With unwavering enthusiasm and optimism, they work towards a more sustainable world without hunger! Please follow them to learn new things!

If you develop for #linux please make offline installation possible, for people in countries with restricted internet. Came back home last night and today I want to install Luminance HDR but their only option for linux is via the terminal, and yet, while I can access full internet on my phone using a VPN, I can't access any on my laptop/workstations, so I can't install this program, unless I use Wine. I'm in #Uganda They cut off internet during elections and it has now been partially restored.

#Today I accepted 4 new mentees through the # YALI (Young African Leaders Initiative). They are from #Sudan, #Kenya, #Uganda and #Tanzania and are all involved in humanitarian or civic work. I plan to engage as a group in hopes of encouraging collaboration and network building. What an amazing opportunity to connect with the world- feeling blessed and excited 🌍😊

Als der #Cannabisexport in Uganda vor einigen Jahren legalisiert wurde, sass Benjamin Cadet noch für die Regierungspartei im Parlament

Dank israelischen Partnern mit ausreichend Kapital konnte Cadet (der einzige lizenzierte #Hanfbauer in #Uganda), die nach eigenen Angaben grösste Hanfproduktion Afrikas aufziehen.

Erinnerungen an die Anfänge der #Plantagenwirtschaft im beginnenden Kolonialzeitalter (16.Jh.) werden wach.
