In her new article, Joy Obando shows how women and men experience climate change impacts differently in South Sudan, and describes what 'gender-transformative' climate adaptation might look like in practice. https://t.co/nP5traBsZh @obandojoyA @KenyattaUni

"As we co-design an inclusive (digital) future, we—as academics, innovators, artists, and politicians—might learn from pastoralists and approach our use of mobile-based social media."

1. Kenyans must understand that Hon Raila's mandamanos aren't about picketing & peaceful demonstration. My fellow countrymen, Kenya is facing an open TRIBAL INSURGENCY that is hell-bent in taking power contra-constitution no matter the cost. Although he tried to go back on it,

@obandojoyA @zack_diary @EyeRadioJuba @RadioMiraya @RadioTamazuj @ParengPhilip @PacificahO @ThomasKibutu The paradox of life is how we shall be crying soon that South Sudan is so dry and that there is famine and drought. How can we collect, purify and store this water for use by livestock in future? @PacificahO @SPARC_Ideas @obandojoyA

"Women, girls, the elderly and people with disabilities are disproportionately affected [by economic shocks]. Supporting adaptation strategies needs to take gender differences into account in order not to reinforce this inequality." - @obandojoyA #IWD2023

@waterandclimate @fudeco Yes it is.

@WaiyegoMwangi @SPARC_Ideas @Ngithongo @MKaigwa @WowziTheWorld @ChloeStullLane @SankalpForum @katharine_v @kusparc @obandojoyA @waterandclimate @WaiyegoMwangi you are so right. The days for competition are over. True, there is need for anticipatory research focusing on collaboration between the old and the young women.

[Susan Waiyego MWANGI @WaiyegoMwangi]

@PacificahO @SPARC_Ideas @Ngithongo @MKaigwa @WowziTheWorld @ChloeStullLane @SankalpForum @katharine_v @kusparc @obandojoyA @waterandclimate I feel we do more completion than collaborations in assisting vulnerable populations and in particular women. Yet to succeed in building resilience for especially women in the context of climate changes solidarity in anticipatory action is key.
