Whocot Uganda OLUM Innovation is transforming food, nutrition, and climate resilience in refugee settings.
Through the OLUM model, refugee and host community households are making the most of small land spaces to grow nutritious food, improve household nutrition, and strengthen self-reliance in the face of climate challenges.

Whocot Uganda appreciates the supporters U-Learn Uganda, Save the Children and Response Innovation Lab

This innovation is a practical step toward building sustainable food systems and healthier communities. Together, we can support solutions that empower families and create lasting impact.

📻 Whocot Uganda on Voice of Madi FM: Unpacking GROW Project Impact 📻

On Thursday, April 16, as Madi Okollo District-based trainers, Whocot Uganda in partnership with Uganda Women's Network (UWONET) featured on 107.5 FM Voice of Madi to discuss the Generating Growth Opportunities and Productivity for Women Enterprises (GROW) Project—a Government of Uganda initiative funded by the World Bank, implemented by the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MoGLSD) in partnership with the Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU).

Key Questions from the Show:
1. How is the GROW project supporting female entrepreneurs to grow and transition their enterprises in Uganda?
2. How do society and culture shape female entrepreneurs’ agency and financial decision-making?
3. What implications do social norms have on female-owned and female-led enterprises?
4. How can social norms, attitudes, and practices best be reformed to improve female entrepreneurs’ agency and financial decision-making?

Our Responses:
1. GROW Support: Targets 60,000+ women-owned firms (3,000 refugee-led) nationwide, focusing refugee-host districts like Madi Okollo—via business training, loans/grants, productive assets (e.g., milling machines), market access (school contracts), platforms, and mindset change.

2. Norms' Influence: Cultural expectations prioritize domestic roles, require male permission for loans/accounts, restrict mobility—limiting financial autonomy.

3. Business Impacts: Smaller scale, collateral gaps, low-profit sectors, vulnerability to shocks.

4. Reform Paths: Community dialogues with men, joint asset registration, gender-responsive finance (WE Finance Code), media role models, policy enforcement.

Grateful for this platform to amplify refugee/host women's growth!

🌟 Whocot Uganda Steps Up for Child Protection! 🌟
On Wednesday, April 15, DRC built our capacity at Yoro Base Camp on Child Protection Risks, Safe Referrals, PFA, and Awareness Raising.

We trained alongside fellow RLOs and CBOs in the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency protection network of Rhino Camp and Omugo.

What we mastered:
1. Child protection concepts, risks, and concerns for kids in refugee/host communities.
2. Ethical, safe ways to identify and document risks.
3. Safe referral pathways: confidentiality, consent, and 'do no harm' principles.
4. Coordination with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, Danish Refugee Council, and child protection partners.

Empowered to safeguard children!

See a risk? Report it safely.
Want to partner? Reach out! 💪💙

Whocot Uganda , with support from U-Learn Uganda, Save the Children Uganda, and Response Innovation Lab, continues to strengthen climate-resilient livelihoods through the dissemination of its Optimised Land Use Model (OLUM), empowering refugee and host communities with practical, sustainable agriculture solutions.

Below are key highlights from our recent OLUM agent training and engagements in Rhino Camp.

Launched on Monday, March 9, at our Simbili Village office in Rhino camp, this intensive 5-day program graced by the Office of the Prime Minister Uganda (OPM) Rhino Camp empowered 20 OLUM agents from both refugee and host communities. With hands-on sessions using tools, seeds, and manure, agents gained practical skills in climate-resilient gardening, agroecology demonstrations, nutrition mapping, and peer-led farm simulations for immediate replication in Rhino Camp.

Community Empowerment for Rural Development-CEFORD Uganda also visited the site, engaging with the Whocot Uganda team and OLUM agents to strengthen collaboration.
On Thursday, 12/03/2026, Whocot Uganda participated in the Rhino Camp refugee settlement coordination meeting, where OLUM innovation dissemination was highlighted within the Livelihood, Energy, and Environment Sector Working Group further elevating scalable solutions for community resilience.
The training concluded at 4:30 PM on March 13. Agents are now equipped to enhance food security and livelihoods, supported by follow-up monitoring.
Stay tuned for more updates in the coming days.

Thank you for spotlighting WHOCOT Uganda's Optimized Land Use Model (OLUM) in U-Learn’s Climate Innovations Call!

We're deeply honored by this recognition from U-Learn Uganda, Innovation Lab, the Children Uganda, and partners.

OLUM transforms fragmented plots into nutrition-secure hubs using raised beds, tower gardens, sack mounds, vertical systems, and drought-tolerant crops.

Hands-on training equips refugee women and youth with soil health, pest control, water-saving, and post-harvest skills, while community hubs and credit schemes build refugee-host cooperatives for climate resilience and cohesion.

Excited for documentation and wider scaling—together, amplifying women-led change!
