As we mark #GlobalClimateJusticeWeek, communities in Amuru are speaking up on climate change, sharing local challenges and solutions, and calling for climate action that puts people and communities at the centre.

For many climate-vulnerable countries, disasters create urgent financing needs. But borrowing can create 饾槂饾椂饾棸饾椂饾椉饾槀饾榾 饾棸饾槅饾棸饾椆饾棽s: climate shocks increase financing needs; debt repayments reduce fiscal space; countries have less capacity to prepare for the next crisis.

Placards up, voices louder. Youth in Busiki marched today, peaceful, accessible, carrying community-generated messages on climate justice. A visible demand: support youth-, women- & community-led solutions, not just promises. #FundOurFuture #ClimateJustice

@actionaiduganda Country Director, Mr. Samuel Ntale, has said climate justice must translate into tangible resources, responsive policies and concrete action at community level. Speaking in Busiki, he called for greater investment in locally led solutions. #FundOurFuture

Exclusion from policy and lack of accessible infrastructure (such as disaster early warning systems and clean energy access) leaves Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) disproportionately vulnerable to climate shocks and environmental degradation. 1/3...

Real change in Africa can only happen with real money. Africa was promised billions when we actually need trillions to address the climate crisis. Public money must lead, as grants not loans, and it must reach people now. Cancel unfair debt. Make big polluters and the super-rich pay their fair share. Ensure communities and movements are heard.
Join our updates from Africa Climate Summit and tell us what a real win looks like where you live.

Cultivating from the results of humanitarian response work and financing for health advocacy, means we have to document the success stories and experiences towards the impact realized. With support from the MakeWay program, we are thrilled to hold a Follow-up workshop on health financing commitments emanating from health financing training workshop on the budget process we had last year 鈥攚ith the district officials and youths from Terego and Madi Okollo district.
We are happy to report that through this engagement, the office of DCDO Madi Okollo district has committed to give AWAC SRHR champions a platform to start participating in the Parish planning and budget priority setting activities.
Additionally, one vocational training slot from Ministry of Gender through the Office of DCDO has been committed to the AGYWs from Ocea zone.

As we continue celebrating the different struggles of Women in this History Month, let's keep amplifying the voices of women and girls who continue to face numerous challenges in our communities.
Mrs. Bako Judith, Assistant RCC, Arua City during the 2025 SRHR Symposium at Desert Breeze, highlighted the need for collective support to empower young women and girls, particularly in the face of menstruation without access to pads, sexual abuse, domestic violence and poverty exacerbated by climate change encouraging stakeholders to pledge their support to initiatives that tackle these challenges and advocate for government backing to create meaningful change.

We are thankful for the insights from @deuce_mercy on what we, as a region should be focusing on in addressing the financing of SRHR in the region. We need Feminist Approaches to private sector engagement in West Nile for greater dividends for #SRHRWestNile @actionaiduganda
@deuce_mercy highlighting the critical gaps for gender responsive climate action in SRHR initiatives in West Nile and other similar regions.
Sexual reproductive being one of the urgent things to be looked into.

Hon. Abia Christine emphasizes the need to break down barriers that hold women back because when we Empower women, we Empower the society. Every woman, regardless of land owner, deserves to be empowered with knowledge, skills, and resources!
As NGOs and CDOs, let's join forces to educate both girls and boys on equality and the value of empowering women.
Collective efforts for a greater purpose.
Together, we can create a more just and equitable society where everyone can live with dignity and reach their full potential!
Kudos to Hon. Abia Christine for championing women's empowerment.
