For two days, we came together in Northern Uganda to learn, listen and reflect on the realities shaping our communities from climate and livelihood pressures to gender justice, wellbeing and resilience.

But the most powerful reflections belong to the people who were in the room.

Over the coming days, we will be sharing participants’ voices—their experiences, key takeaways and the actions they hope to carry forward in their communities.

Real voices. Lived experiences. Community-led solutions.

Today, September 10, is .

The 2026 theme is , with the call to action “Start the Conversation.”
“A simple conversation can open the door to support.”
Not every struggle is visible. Sometimes, the person who looks okay is carrying more than we know. Let’s listen, check in, and create spaces where people feel safe to speak.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO SUFFER IN SILENCE?
Across our community mapping, we listened to people speak about realities that affect wellbeing: climate and livelihood pressures, unemployment, harmful gender and social norms, violence, stigma, discrimination, exclusion and limited access to support.

These challenges looked different from one community to another, but they remind us of something important: Mental wellbeing is not only an individual issue. It is also shaped by the conditions in which people live, work, belong and seek support.

As we approach on 10 September, through the POWER Project, is opening a national conversation: What must change in our families, communities, cultures, services and institutions so that NO person is left to suffer in silence?

CULTURES OF CARE: Breaking Silence. Challenging Harm. Growing Communities of Care.
The conversation starts here.

DAY TWO🌍:
Today’s consultation focuses on Adaptation and Loss & Damage. Through an ecofeminist lens, we're calling for climate action that recognises that environmental degradation, gender inequality and economic injustice are interconnected. Uganda’s NDC 3.0 must therefore move beyond building resilience to transforming the systems that make women and vulnerable communities more exposed to climate shocks.

This means investing in women-led and locally rooted solutions, protecting ecosystems and livelihoods, recognising and reducing unpaid care work, strengthening women’s voice in climate decision-making, and ensuring direct, accessible climate finance reaches women at the frontlines. Those who experience climate impacts most deeply must have the power, resources and voice to shape the solutions.
