In addition, our discussions with Uwezo Fund Director General, Mr. Peter, opened the door for a strategic partnership aimed at empowering youth and women through value addition initiatives such as apiculture and green financing models designed to support climate-smart livelihoods.
This collaboration underscores TARDA’s commitment to working with communities, leaders and partners to deliver sustainable development, conserve our environment, and create inclusive opportunities for youth and women within our area of jurisdiction.
