Information About the Project
What is the problem that you are working to address in your community?
(In this section please describe in detail the challenge that your project addresses. We recommend your response be a minimum of 100 words and a maximum of 300 words.)
Environmental conservation and gender interaction Problem
Many factors have been contribute much to the decrease in environmental conservation and climatic change action which always cause the environmental crisis that affects much the lives of women and Young people especially in the rural communities around Kagera region. Women and Youth are accounting for the big number within the community and they are mostly vulnerable to environmental and climatic change as their varying gender and age-related roles within households and in the society this make them to be the special group that utilize natural resources differently from each other which in turn means they have different environmental conservation priorities and concerns but because of having less access to resources (knowledge and use of data which may enable them to tackle with the impacts of environmental crisis(destruction).
Through this intervention women and youth will be empowered to have knowledge that will be useful in planning and implementing community level environmental adaptation strategies, because they are not empowered enough to act as environmental activist in their area.
