On Tuesday, 17 December 2024, the LIFE-AR implementation team concluded a one-day training session at Rasmoi Guest House in Pajule town council. The training focused on developing project proposals for the Parish Climate Change Committees (PCCC) in three pilot sub counties within Pader district. This initiative forms part of the Least Developed Countries Initiative for Effective Adaptation and Resilience (LIFE-AR), which aims to promote climate change adaptation in the district.

Ms Winnie Namuyiga, a representative from the Ministry of Water and Environment, assured PCCC members that the actual implementation of the project would commence immediately upon the submission of their proposals. She encouraged members to dispel any doubts or concerns they might have about the project’s progress.

“Once the proposals are submitted, the real work will begin, and we are fully committed to ensuring the success of the project,” said Ms Namuyiga.

Mr Francis Komakech, a PCCC member from Awalmon parish in Pajule town council, expressed his enthusiasm for the project’s implementation and urged his fellow members to remain dedicated and focused on achieving the goals outlined in the initiative.

Meanwhile, Hon Justine Ocen, Vice LC5 of Pader district, reassured the PCCC members and the Ministry team that the district administration would continue to provide the necessary support for the successful implementation of the project. He emphasised the importance of utilising the allocated funds efficiently and ensuring they directly benefit the communities.

Hon Ocen also urged the technical staff involved in the project to remain committed to guiding the communities throughout the project’s life cycle. He commended their dedication and hard work since the initiative’s inception.
