A example of how the Climate Smart Jobs Program is having a positive impact, through the lens of Mme Milly Akello's experience in northern Uganda. Following on from our previous episode, ecosystems specialist Solomon Etany joins me in the studio to share the background to Mme Akello's story, and she tells us herself, with real passion and commitment, how the increasing cultivation of cocoa alongside traditional crops can enable farmers to make a better living.

We also talk to Moses Ayena for an overview of cocoa and coffee growing in the region, and the economic opportunities it represents.

The programs dicsussed in the episode are funded and run by the Climate Smart Jobs Initiative. If you'd like to find out more, go to https://www.csj.co.ug/

Special thanks to this week's guests Moses Ayena, Milly Akello and Solomon Etany. And thanks to you for listening - see you next time.
