We achieve this by building the capacity of displaced women and youth to sustainably achieve food security, improve their health, restore soils and water and become economically resilient. Our intervention brings together local community stakeholders, including agricultural organizations, the local government, and community members to participate in tailored practical trainings in regenerative farming and climate change awareness, followed up by ongoing direct support to establish traditional food gardens and fruit tree plantings to strengthen community's climate adaptation and resilience. We incorporate cross-cutting concepts such as market linkages, financial literacy, and gender awareness. The solution targets refugees, internally displaced persons and host communities across Uganda.
