Journalists were trained on agroforestry intervention in Lango Region, supporting smallholder farmers to restore land & boost incomes through planting cocoa & shea trees, conserving shea parklands, and adopting beekeeping.

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.

[ClimateSmartJobs @csjuganda]

Over a three‑week period, CSJ with a team from @Farms4God delivered 12 #Pfumvudza Training‑of‑Trainers sessions across Northern Uganda.
477 participants reached - including farmers, government officials, media, refugees, agro‑dealers, and community leaders.
We believe climate‑resilient farming should be built at system level.

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

Wiigot brings production inputs, essential services, and reliable markets closer to
farmers by working through trusted commercial agents within their communities.

#WiigotMediaFieldTraining.

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

Key #WIIGOT users include:
• Smallholder farmers looking for inputs, services, or buyers of their produce.
• Agribusinesses wanting to reach rural Smallholder Farmers (SHFs).
• CAs who act as local connectors.
• Community leaders supporting adoption of modern practices

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

Journalists from West Nile, Acholi & Lango were oriented on #WIIGOT the ecosystem that connects smallholder farmers (SHFs) with agribusinesses via trusted Commercial Agents (CAs) & on how to report climate‑smart agriculture (CSA) in Northern Uganda with accuracy and impact.

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

WIIGOT is an ecosystem that connects smallholder farmers (SHFs) with agribusinesses through trusted
intermediaries called Commercial Agents (CAs). It helps farmers access climate-smart products, services,
and off-take markets more easily and affordably.

#WIIGOTMediaTraining

[Media Challenge Initiative @IMChallengeug]

The gap between what farmers need and what they know exists is closing and media has a role to play.

Under the WIIGOT platform that is equipping journalists across Northern Uganda with access to live demonstrations of shea butter processing @OkereCity.

Behind this investigation is careful protection. While examining mining permits, @JonasKiriko secured sensitive information and key materials through @FbdnStories’ #SafeBoxNetwork, a safeguard for investigative journalists facing risk.

[InfoNile @infoNILE]

Community forests in the DRC were created to boost green revolution,& empower local people, with substantial multilateral funding. After 8 years, donor withdrawal & poor governance have led to project failures and ongoing deforestation
