Strengthening Forest Governance in Timu CFR.

Together with the ACODE team, we engaged the Timu Environment Conservation CFM Group in Kaabong. Timu CFR is home to the Ik indigenous community, with the entire Timu Sub-county located within the forest reserve.

This is what Rotary is all about for me. By bringing together the private sector, government, and the community, we make a lasting difference that none of us could achieve on our own.

Namananga is an important ecological corridor that connects Mabira Forest to Musamya Swamp. It helps protect the water streams that support families, farms, and wildlife.

@kabuniversity The Ag. ED @min_waterUg / @NFAUG handed over the site with Echuya CFR to Kabale University. A license had been signeded earlier which will guide research and other forestry activities in the forest.

We have signed an MOU with the National Forest Authority @NFAUG today. Kabale University is allocated some land within Echuya Forest so that it may establish a research center there. This will enhance hands-on training and skill development. This site will benefit the Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, the Institute of Tourism and Hospitality Management, and other academic units.
