Albertine Regional Water and Environment Week (ARWEK), 2026

Date: 16th March 2026

Activity: Dialogue, Panel Discussions & Exhibition

Tooro Botanical Gardens had the privilege of participating in the 9th Albertine Regional Water and Environment Week (ARWEK) 2026, held on 16th March at the gardens in Fort Portal. The event was organized by the Ministry of Water and Environment structures (AWMZ, RWSRC 5, Umbrella), in collaboration with partners including Join for Water, Kyaninga Forest Foundation (KFF), and the Natural Resources Defence Initiative, among others.

The event brought together a diverse range of stakeholders and featured a public dialogue, engaging panel discussions, and exhibitions, all centered on advancing water and environmental management in Uganda.

These discussions provided a valuable platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and development partners to exchange evidence-based knowledge, share innovations and best practices, and highlight community experiences aimed at promoting sustainable and inclusive water and environmental management.

Tooro Botanical Gardens also contributed to the event by providing tree seedlings to support restoration efforts, as well as showcasing its wide range of herbal products.

Key Highlights:

· Panel Discussion 1: Role of Water and Environment in Uganda’s Growth Strategy

o Prof. Muhumuza Moses advocated for a holistic growth approach, including an eco-home model and a "Tooro-Rwenzori Region Green Plan."

o Prof. Kisakye Violet stressed the gap between academia and practice, urging better resource agendas and data access for research.

o Mr. Ongol Joseph discussed gazetted wetlands and the ongoing effort to establish a Wetlands Act, calling for stronger partnerships.

o Hon. Restetuta Balinda recommended modern farming practices and conservation incentives to reduce wetland reliance.

o Lawrence Tusiime emphasized the need for quality water and a community-driven approach to growth.

· Panel Discussion 2: Investment in Science, Technology, and Capacity Building

o Eng. Hillary Mutabazi highlighted the importance of capacity development in water management and the need for better data access. The panel also discussed integrating digital tools, such as a mobile app for water quality testing, to empower communities.

Moderated by Ms Marion Iceduna and Mr Franklin Tumuhairwe, the event featured an exhibition showcasing projects like the Imukya Initiative, focused on youth skills in beekeeping and crafts.
The event served as a platform for collaboration and discussion on improving water and environmental management in Uganda.
