1. The beginnings of change
“The other positive issue for farmers was that this time the forecast included agricultural advisories. The harvest has been high and some food is being sold to raise income” Community meeting, Otuke District, Olim Sub-County
“For the first time we have received the weather forecasts in the local language, which has not happened before. When I heard the programme on the radio, I was excited and kept listening every day. I do not know how to write so I instructed my son to write the important points. It has helped me to plan and so far the forecast has been accurate” Akello Lucia, Woman respondent, Amida Sub-County, Kitgum District.
