Project Update: June 2010

River Wambabya is a long stretch of approximately 54 km and for easy management we have divided in to three segments: the upper, middle and lower. The exercise was conducted between 18th June and 1st July, 2010 on the upper segment of Wambabya wetland.

This exercise was preceded by a 2-day mobilisation exercise. Two sensitization meetings were conducted in partnership with Navigators of Development Association (NAVODA) - a community-based organisation, whose objectives are almost similar to ours.

The aim of the exercise was to sensitize and create awareness among the wetland stakeholders on the project objectives, activities that will be implemented, benefits, conservation plans, what is expected of them, way forward and solicit for support during the implementation of activities. It drew 56 participants from all categories of Wambabya users. They embraced the project and promised to support and work with us during the entire project.
