@SolomonSerwanjj@afyanahakiug@MulumbaMoses_@richardmuganzi Turning collective resources into measurable steps to influence local decisionmaking is vital in working to improve collective livelihoods. Grassroots organising can inform new solutions for existing problems while utilising local government and citizen efforts. Bravo Kyeyamaani.
@SolomonSerwanjj@afyanahakiug@MulumbaMoses_@richardmuganzi Instead of relying on outside experts or top-down mandates, this approach centers on community ownership and local leadership. Decisions and strategies start with the people most affected by an issue. Everyone has a voice in bridging local gaps to foster unity and resilience.
Mobility is a vital strategy to capitalize on the scarce availability of resources in variable environments, making #pastoralism sustainable. 🐑

DRIVERS OF THE 10-FOLD GROWTH STRATEGY
Uganda’s dream of growing the economy ten-fold is about more than numbers. It is about creating an economy where a farmer earns more from their produce, a young person finds decent work, and businesses can grow and compete globally.
Fiscal justice is about more than collecting revenue—it's about ensuring public resources are mobilised, allocated and utilised in ways that advance equity, accountability and sustainable development.
Today, SEATINI together with the Embassy of Ireland has convened Members of Parliament, policymakers and development partners for a Strategic Policy Engagement on strengthening Parliament's role in advancing fiscal justice through inclusive taxation and prudent public debt management. Follow this thread for key insights from the discussions. 🧵👇

This week, IFAD and the Government of #Tonga launched a new phase of the Tonga Rural Innovation Project (TRIP), a US$19.4 million investment to promote both the diversification of agricultural production and its commercialization across 128 rural communities.
“Building on the lessons from its predecessors, this third phase will empower communities and improve livelihoods through increased production and better market access. IFAD is backing Tongan communities not simply to endure a changing climate, but to thrive in it,” said Donal Brown, IFAD’s Associate Vice-President for the Department of Country Operations.
The project, as highlighted by Prime Minister Fatafehi Fakafanua during the launch, “brings government, development partners, civil society and communities together in a partnership founded on trust, respect and shared accountability.”
The IFAD delegation led by Brown also met partners at the New Zealand High Commission in Nukuʻalofa, to discuss collaboration in support of rural communities in Tonga and across the Pacific, an increasing priority for IFAD.
Earlier this year, IFAD launched the Pacific Islands Regional Strategic Opportunities Programme (RESOP), which guides IFAD’s investment and engagement to address shared challenges of rural poverty, food insecurity, climate vulnerability, and geographic isolation across 13 Pacific Island Countries through 2033.
