Kadonya made this statement in Magu District, Mwanza Region, during an ознакомительная visit aimed at obtaining information about the progress and results of various projects related to the Lake Victoria basin.
During the trip, he inspected the projects being implemented in the village of Nghaya, including sheep farming, cultivation of mung bean, nurseries and tree planting, as well as beekeeping. These initiatives are part of efforts to strengthen the population's ability to adapt to climate change and create sustainable sources of income.
Speaking after reviewing the progress of the projects, Mr. Kadonya noted that it is important to ensure that investments made through the programs and institutions of the East African Community directly benefit citizens and remain sustainable even after the completion of project deadlines.
«We want these projects not to remain short‑term initiatives, but to strengthen the capacity of citizens, increase household incomes, and at the same time protect the environment and the resources of the Lake Victoria basin. The results achieved here in Magu are also important for assessing the benefits of our cooperation within the East African Community», said Mr. Kadonya.
According to the implementation report presented during the visit, the Regional Pilot Project on Climate Change Adaptation in the Lake Victoria Basin (ACC‑LVB) aims to reduce the impacts of climate change and strengthen the capacity of the population through sustainable water resource management, the introduction of climate‑adapted agriculture, and the preservation of ecosystems.
Among the results achieved is the increased involvement of civic groups in production activities: four sheep‑breeding groups that received support in the form of 160 sheep in 2023 increased their flock to 288, along with the development of mung bean cultivation, beekeeping, and tree seedling production.
