We are pleased to share the January 2026 edition of Eco Citizen Monthly, the official newsletter of the Centre for Citizens Conserving Environment & Management (CECIC).
This issue highlights our continued commitment to advancing community-led climate solutions across Uganda — grounded in justice, resilience, and local ownership.
In this edition, we focus on:
• Building community power through decentralized, community-owned solar solutions
• Advancing agroecology to strengthen food resilience and protect soil health
• Expanding women’s economic and leadership roles at the frontline of climate action
• Enhancing access to clean and affordable energy for last-mile communities
• Supporting grassroots climate justice advocacy
At CECIC, we believe sustainable transformation does not begin in boardrooms — it begins in communities. Whether through renewable energy innovation, youth mobilization, or strengthening environmental governance, our work is driven by the conviction that local people must shape their own development pathways.
We invite partners, donors, researchers, and climate advocates to read, share, and engage with this issue as we continue building a just transition in Uganda and across the region.
