Sustainable aquatic resource use is guided by modelling and forecasting.

These can only be done with accurate and well-structured data.

We must have harmonised #datacollection procedures to ensure the data collected is consistent.

Once we have collected all the data and it is available, then we shall have decision support tools grounded in data.

@Labanmusinguzi

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

Accurate deductions & policies follow good accessible data thus, #datastorage is as important as #data-collection.

If you share data that is not understandable, you are misusing the resources that were used on the project to collect the data.

A robust #freshwaterbiodiversity portal is the foundation for effective conservation, fisheries management & #climateresilience.

All datasets and biodiversity information products will be and accessed through @fwbpUganda portal.

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

The #freshwaterbiodiverity portal for UG🇺🇬 brings together data from researchers & conservation practitioners, making it easier to support research, policy-making, conservation planning & #sustainablefisheries management.

We are working towards updating it. @fwbpUganda

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

Resilient fisheries begin with good data.

We are updating an inventory of #freshwaterbiodiversity data that will help us understand species occurrence & how ecosystems are changing over time.

This is critical for protecting biodiversity & building #climateresilient fisheries.

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

Biodiversity data is most valuable when it is accessible and usable.

Therefore, data accuracy, data neatness and data quality are paramount! - @Olokotum

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

This week, biodiversity experts, data holders, and users are meeting at @NARO_MuZARDI for data mobilisation for the Metagenomics & Biodiversity Data Project.

The aim is to strengthen #freshwaterbiodiversity data management to support #climateresilient fisheries in Uganda 🇺🇬.

The amount of used textiles imported from the EU has tripled in the last 2 decades, with nearly half ending up in Africa.

Yet up to 40% are unsellable waste ending up in landfills, waterways & communities already struggling with pollution.

Here's how👇

📱Every product has a story worth telling.

Today in Yumbe, commercial agents sharpened their mobile storytelling skills, learning how to create engaging content, showcase their products and also highlight the real impact of their work in communities.

📱Commercial agents are becoming storytellers.

This week, we kicked off with a hands-on training session helping commercial agents in Arua District harness the power of their smartphones for content creation.

Community-managed forests in the DRC are under serious threat. Designed to protect biodiversity and enable sustainable management, they now face encroachment from mining operations.

One of the biggest barriers for smallholder farmers isn't effort - it's access.

Access to quality production inputs. Access to essential services. Access to markets that actually pay.

#ClimateSmartAgriculture

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

For Commercial Agents (CA), offering quality seedlings is a valuable business opportunity. It meets growing demand for sustainable farming solutions. Tree seedlings are sold directly in the store/ordered through a catalogue held by the CA.

#WiigotMediaFieldVisit

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

The intervention supports smallholder farmers, including women and rural households in Northern Uganda, who face challenges such as limited access to quality seedlings, inadequate technical knowledge, soil degradation, low crop productivity, and unreliable market opportunities.
