This thesis explores the inadvertent consequences of conservation-induced displacement utilizing a case study of Batwa, who were forcefully displaced from their ancestral forest lands…

In this sustainability plan, I first detail pertinent macroeconomic trends, as it mostly relates to agriculture and the implications of COVID-19. Then, I highlight development challenges and solutions in Uganda in two industries that largely impact Uganda's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate: agriculture and energy.

Farmers around Lake Bunyonyi rely on rainfall to water their crops. When the rainfall is not sufficient or it is dry season, the farmers must hand-deliver water from Lake Bunyonyi to their crops.

Lake Bunyonyi, located in Southwestern Uganda, is situated below a vast expanse of hilly terrain. Climate change has made rainfall patterns in the area incredibly unpredictable and thus unreliable for farmers whose livelihood depends on their crops.

Without a doubt, agriculture - farming, forestry, fisheries, and livestock - remains essential to the economic development of the world, generating USD 3.4 trillion in 2018.

Agriculture employs nearly seventy percent of the workforce in Uganda, but many farmers lose up to forty percent of their harvest due to improper food storage practices.

The Entusi model farm, located in the Lake Bunyonyi area of Southwestern Uganda, serves as an outdoor, hands-on classroom for local farmers to learn new farming techniques and practices.

The project goal is to provide a sustainable energy solution for smallholder farmers surrounding Lake Bunyonyi in rural Uganda. The project focused on a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and reliable solution to provide villagers with access to electricity for phone charging and lighting.

The design presented in this brochure will illustrate the steps that need to be taken to properly design a robust and functioning check time on your farm.

When interviews facilitated by past Capstone teams illuminated former child soldiers’ need and want for a capacity-building initiative centered on enhancing their agricultural proficiency, GLI launched the Sustainable Farming Collaborative/Model Farm initiative in Spring 2018 with a cohort of 60 villagers.

Our goal was to develop a report on current socioeconomic conditions in Uganda as well as existing programs designed to improve mental health, provide vocational training, and increase opportunities for participation and increase earning potential in the agricultural sector to improve the lives of Former Child Soldiers (FCS) in Lira, Uganda.
