Food Sovereignty is about allowing farmers across @jumuiya region control their food system. Let us prioritize locally grown, healthy food over reliance on imports. Let us demand @EA_Bunge to prioritize policies that empower local producers. #CefrohtUg #AgroecologyPolicyEA

We welcome the recognition of Fishers’ challenges, but these go beyond one-off handouts. They need a dedicated development fund accessible by all women and men across all species and a clear policy framework to truly improve livelihoods. #ImplementTheFisheriesAndAquacultureAct

Hunger goes beyond a crisis; it is a direct violation of human rights. At the UN Human Rights regional seminar, we engaged with partners to chart ways of strengthening the right to food & advancing the right to development. Together, we can build a just & sustainable food future.

So many issues to ponder; "Which law empowered the President to deploy the UPDF on the lakes? In 2017, Parliament asked and no legal provision was provided." highlighted a representative from @makpilac #RuleOfLaw
While officially opening the Justice Forum on Fisheries & Human Rights, the Mayor of Kalangala recalled how her grandmother once sustained the family with an abundance of fish. She wondered aloud: What has changed today? Why is access to fish now hard? #FisheriesJusticeForum2025

Without a clear agroecology-based regulatory framework, small-scale farmers and the fisherfolk remain sidelined, and Fishing-related problems persist. @EA_Bunge , please embed agroecological principles and tackle the core issues behind these challenges. #AgroecologyPolicyAndLaw

As referenced by the MP for Kyamuswa: “The hyena farted on the stone, and when the stone did not move, it said, ‘Even if you have not shaken, you have heard me.’" The leaders may have seemed unmoved, but the fishers spoke, and their voices were heard.
Change starts with a conversation. Keep an eye out for our powerful update from the Justice Forum on Fisheries and Human Rights in Kalangala as we celebrate World Fisheries Day. #WorldFisheriesDay2025

Could the army’s lake deployment, supposedly for “unknown strategic reasons,” as mentioned by the RDC be a cover for officers profiting through irregular enforcement? 🧐 asked @Hon.Hellen Nakimuli #FisheriesJusticeForum2025

The RDC of Kalangala emphasized that “the army’s presence on the lake is strategic, with some reasons known & others not publicly disclosed. They won’t leave, but we will ensure they address their errors & work in harmony with the fishers. #FisheriesJusticeForum2025
