Provision of Agriculture Support Services in Buliisa District under Resettlement Action Plan1

I take this opportunity to thank Total Energies for their incredible support, contracting Community Integrated Development Initiatives-CIDI for the Provision of Agriculture Support Services (ASS) to Project Affected
Person-PAPs in Buliisa District under the first Resettlement Action Plan (RAP-1). With this project that commenced in February 2019 and ended in May 2022, we have improved the lives of more than 522 PAPs (that is the primary residents, vulnerable PAPs, landowners, and land users) through training them improved farming methods, agronomy, and provision of farm in puts including provision of drip irrigation kits, farmer groups establishment support, Village Saving and Loan AssociationsVSLA, support in tree nursery services, agricultural extension services and provision of cassava improvement services.
I’m very proud that this project has been well appreciated and accepted in the community of Ngwedo and Kigwera sub county and it has transformed many people’s lives as they settle to other new areas where they acquire land after
compensation. Together, we are helping the TILENGA Project affected persons resettle in their new area with minimal distortion of their livelihoods. In this magazine you will find real life inspiring stories of how this project has equipped PAPs to become better farmers producing enough food to meet their household needs and improving their household incomes through sales of surplus.
