Sometimes life happens while you're busy making other plans. Halima Nalunkuma wanted to be a banker and to 'wear shoes with pointy heels.' But while in Kiryandongo she saw an opportunity and grabbed it with both hands. This is the story of how she's now working with refugeee communities to encourage minimal tilling agricultural methods, leading to improved yields and increased economic wellbeing in those communities. And crucially, improving their resilience in the face of climate change.
Halima Nalunkuma is Director of Kiryandongo Agro Input Center Limited. She's a great talker, equal parts inspiring, thoughtful and insighful, and as she mentions in our chat, she received support from the Climate Smart Jobs Initiative. It supports '...sustainable solutions for Ugandan smallholder farmers to respond to climate change.' You can find out more about the Climate Smart Jobs programme here:
