Planting Hope for People, Nature and Climate with CODEA’s Commitment

CODEA’s Livelihoods Rwenzori Yethu Project (RYP) is strengthening climate resilience and promoting sustainable farming in the Rwenzori region of western Uganda. Implemented in Kasese and Ntoroko districts, the project has so far facilitated the planting of 204,768 trees and the preparation of 634,852 pits ahead of the September–November planting season. Tree seedlings are currently being supplied to community-based holding nurseries for distribution to farmer groups. Since inception, 4,724 farmers (1,843 in 2024 and 2,881 between January–June 2025) have been recruited, supported by 50 labor gangs with about 747 members. Lead Farmers grew from 59 to 125 (18% women), enabling 271 engagements that reached 8,781 stakeholders. Ongoing farmer registration in Ntoroko continues to expand RYP’s impact on tree cover and livelihoods. #thankstoLCF3 #restoringhopefortheRwenzori
