@NetsayiMudege @LMuzungaire Sad story.....

[Catherine Mwema @CathyMwema]

The power walk exercise at integrated climate-smart aquaculture-livestock practises training in Mansa under #AICCRA. "We started together, now we are far apart. This exercise has brought clarity to inequities shaped by our social positions" @NetsayiMudege @Agness90279727

The beautiful #zambia anthem marks the start of the #AICCRA climate-resilience livestock-aquaculture intergration training @NetsayiMudege @LundebaMary @Agness90279727

@NetsayiMudege @WorldFishCenter @LMuzungaire @KakwashaKeagan Exactly, @NetsayiMudege the need for co-creation with communities is imminent

[Catherine Mwema @CathyMwema]

Small-scale farmers are agents and co-creators, making meaningful choices about their lives to maximize utility. A view of them as victims or mere targets of interventions could be misguided......"my weekend vibe"
