From July to October 2017 I am making my internship for the GLEN in Masaka, Uganda. I am here with one intern from Germany. The title of my project is "Agroforestry and organic farming as adaption strategies for households affected by HIV/AIDS.
I arrived to Masaka on 07.07 2017. During this week we got an overview about the organisation of NIRP (Ndibwami Integrated Rescue Project). We also got a brief introduction to agribusiness.
Our duties about this topic are following:
- Support the use of organic farming methods in the maintenance and management of gardens.
- Organise a model agroforestry site or pineapple farmer.
- Train students and community groups in agroforestry ventures.
- Engage in market research and development of agroforestry farmers to promote market access locally.
- Design training manual for the training students and communities undertaking sustainable agroforestry practices.
- Develop training plans for the community.
- Facilitate the construction of wood saving stoves in the beneficiary households to reduce wood wastage.
- Follow up and monitor agroforestry farmers for technical support.
- Train beneficiaries in making organic manure from organic materials such as liquid and compost manure.
- Train communities in courtyard and sack vegetable growing.
- Design a project online, raise resources online and implement the project e.g betterplace.org, 1% Club Netherlands.
- Encourage schools and communities to plant their own plantations and trees.
