On 13th August 2025, EADEN, in partnership with the Foundation for Community Development and Empowerment (FCDE), conducted a field monitoring visit to Bududa District, Busirwa Sub-County. The visit focused on observing and supporting the watershed management practices and sustainable energy solutions adopted by local farming communities.

The day offered an inspiring opportunity to witness firsthand how smallholder farmers are implementing innovative practices to improve soil conservation, water management, and energy efficiency. From well-managed terraces, planting of bamboo along riverbanks, planting of fruit trees, and indigenous climate-resilient trees to sustainable fuel-saving technologies, the community showcased resilience and ingenuity in adapting to environmental challenges.

Following the field visit, EADEN and FCDE convened a strategic planning meeting to guide the organization’s work for the period of June 2025 – June 2026 . Discussions centered on setting clear milestones for 2025–2026, focusing on scaling sustainable agriculture practices, enhancing institutional capacity, and fostering long-term community impact.

The visit underscored the importance of collaborative partnerships in driving sustainable development. Through continuous mentorship, technical support, and strategic planning, EADEN, supported by FCDE, is committed to empowering farmers in Bududa to achieve productive, environmentally conscious, and resilient farming systems.
