Farmers in Amolatar District have praised Samuel Dulson Okello, the focal point person for the Uganda Climate Smart Agricultural Transformation Project (UCSATP), for his role in promoting and successfully implementing the project in the district.

The praise was made during a district Baraza held on Friday, September 4, 2026, and organised by Amolatar District Local Government. A large number of farmers commended Okello for ensuring that the project’s climate-smart agricultural initiatives reach beneficiaries and encourage their active participation.

Amlaferi Ongwen Okao described UCSATP as one of the best-managed Government projects in Amolatar, saying it has had a significant impact on farmers’ livelihoods.

He particularly thanked Okello for explaining the project’s co-funding component to farmers, an arrangement he said has been warmly welcomed by the community.

“UCSATP is one of the well-managed Government projects in Amolatar.

“It has greatly benefited farmers, and we appreciate Okello for promoting the project and helping farmers understand the co-funding requirements,” Ongwen Okao said.

Okello, who also serves as the Acting Principal Entomologist in Amolatar District, was further commended for his commitment to ensuring that the project is effectively implemented and that farmers fully participate in its activities.

Ongwen said the project has improved farmers’ understanding of climate-smart agriculture while encouraging them to invest in sustainable farming practices.
