**Understanding a space is the first step towards transforming it. **

Today, we conducted site measurements at the Kitintale Public Space under the Youth Water Stewardship Project to support community-led planning and climate-responsive public space improvements.

Thoughtful planning today helps build safer, inclusive and more climate-resilient communities for tomorrow.

*Due diligence is key when it comes to creating sustainable impact.*

This week, as part of the Youth City Program’s Entrepreneurship support initiative,we were in Nakawa Division identifying and engaging young entrepreneurs with innovative businesses and strong potential for growth.

Through the program, we are looking to support selected youth entrepreneurs with business equipment to help strengthen and scale up their businesses, increase income and sales, and create opportunities for other young people within their communities.

At NAC, we believe in “microgrants for macro impact” because investing in young entrepreneurs is investing in resilient communities and sustainable urban livelihoods.

If you know a young person in Nakawa Division, Kampala with a promising business that could benefit from this opportunity, comment below this post and we will reach out to you.

As urban planners, are we actually designing cities, or just fixing problems we never fully understood?

That question felt even more real today at the World Urban Forum, during a HerCity session with Dreamtown and Holistic Actions for Development and Empowerment.

we explored what it really takes to move from assumption to understanding: listening to communities, sharing decision-making power, and using digital tools that reveal real needs and proximity challenges on the ground.

Because if people are left out of the process, we don’t get inclusive cities : we get cities designed for only a few.

Public spaces are not just physical spaces ,they are powerful platforms that promote social inclusion, community engagement, safety, wellbeing, and environmental sustainability. When integrated into urban planning and city design, they contribute greatly to building safer, healthier, greener, and more resilient communities.

While attending the World Urban Forum in Baku, we continue to emphasize the importance of investing in green cities and strengthening policies that support sustainable urban development and climate justice.

As delegates, stakeholders, and partners from across the world gather to discuss the future of our cities, one thing remains clear, the future of urban development must be inclusive, climate-responsive, and people-centered.

Together, we commit to advancing actions that create cities that are livable, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of both present and future generations.

This year’s theme, “Housing the World: Safe and Resilient Cities and Communities,” speaks directly to the everyday realities our communities face, from climate change and urban heat to inequality, housing challenges, and the need for more inclusive urban spaces.

As , we see the World Urban Forum as a key space to learn, share ideas, and strengthen how communities are responding to urban challenges around the world. We are grateful to Dreamtown for making our participation possible and for consistently supporting youth-led and community-driven initiatives, ensuring grassroots voices are part of global conversations.

Today’s urban adaptation discussions at reinforced one clear message: communities must remain at the center of climate action and urban resilience building.

From nature-based solutions and community stewardship to youth engagement, climate finance, and community-led data, the conversations highlighted the importance of locally led, inclusive, and people-centered approaches rooted in lived realities.

The conversations continue to reaffirm that resilient cities are built when communities are actively involved in shaping solutions and driving adaptation efforts forward.

*Local realities are shaping global climate conversations.*

Today at in , we engaged in important conversations on how nature-based solutions can strengthen climate resilience while also supporting livelihoods and everyday community wellbeing.

From water stewardship to transformation of public green spaces and locally led adaptation, the discussions continue to highlight how community driven solutions can help vulnerable communities not only adapt to climate realities, but also create safer spaces, strengthen local livelihoods, and build resilience.

As Network for Active Citizens, we are proud to share experiences and community voices from ’s informal settlements within the global adaptation conversation.
