About this project

Conservation and demand agency (CODEA) is a Ugandan NGO that aims at improving livelihoods while restoring and protecting the environment. CODEA jointly with the Livelihoods Fund developed the ‘Livelihoods Rwenzori Yethu Project’, which envisions to collaborating closely with smallholder farmers and local communities involved in production of coffee, cocoa, subsistent crops and woodlots in the Rwenzori to address various challenges the smallholders face due to climate change and pressure on natural resources. The overall project objective is to positively impact the livelihoods of over 11,000 smallholder farmers by planting over 3.1 million tree seedlings on 5,000ha of land and 1.4 million linear meters of boundary planting. Project activities will be implemented in two districts of the Rwenzori region – Kasese and Ntoroko. The main project activities are constituted of the following: a. Agroforestry practices in existing coffee and cocoa farms, comprised of planting trees and improved agricultural practices (3000 ha) b. Boundary tree planting for firewood and timber productions (1.4 million linear meters – equivalent to 3800 ha) c. Promotion of mixed woodlot planting for firewood and timber production (1900 ha) d. Promotion of plantation management practices. Besides that, activities like capacity building of farmer groups through active training as well as establishing community nurseries will be paired with the setup of institutional structures to support the long-term view of the project’s impact.
