1.0 Release

This evaluation introduces the procedures that took position during the

perform shop that was organised at Makerere University-Kampala on Twelfth

Dec 2014 in the Greater education of Technological innovation, Style, Art and

Technological innovation. The perform shop idea was Innovative applying

ICTs: Connecting the gap between information creation and end customers

for atmosphere strength developing in Africa. It was structured by Makerere

School Regional Details Techniques Middle in collaboration with the IDRC-

ICTWCC project based at the School of Nairobi, South africa under the

guidance and host of Dr. Barasa Bernard. Primary of the perform shop was to

offer the grantees from African-american an opportunity to spread their

research results aimed at influencing strategy formulations. About 170

members attended the perform shop and among these were the worldwide

and nationwide grantees from Ethiopia, South africa, Malawi, Uganda and

Cameroon. From Uganda , the members included: Member of Parliament for

Bufumbira Eastern, seen in Western Uganda and Chairperson of the

Parliamentary Community forum on Climate Modify, different Ministry

associates in Uganda who involved Secretary of state for regular water andEnvironment, NWSC and lands and Survey, Learners and lecturers from

CEDAT

The globe has come to terms with the reality that our atmosphere andatmosphere is modifying at an unprecedented amount. The weeknesses and

effect due to climatic change varies in space and time. Technological

innovation has also confirmed that much of the changes in worldwide

atmosphere are majorly due to individual activities or what is generally termed

as climatic change.

How did we get there?

There are two elusive technological innovation whose definitions and

interpretation have kept modifying to suit different interests and they seem tobe the resource of complication. Environment has been variously defined to

the level that it is sometimes amorphously described to exclude humans.

Environment has been considered a constant and taken for granted no matter

what occurs in the interest of man. The other is financial growth which is so

wide to determine but we acknowledge that the economic system of the globe

has typically grown depending on exploitation of organic sources. After

decades of ecological deterioration due to rampant organic sources

exploitation and contamination all in the name of monetary growth, the globe

embraced maintainable growth which has mostly remained governmental

jargon rather than practical undertaking especially in the third globe.


3/19

The very growth we are so proud of or even admire as developing nations is

soon bringing us to our knees. It is unfortunate that developing nations are

going to suffer the impacts-yet our contribution to the causes is negligible.

Development at the expense of the atmosphere is the dilemma we are faced

with nowadays. The rapid individuals growth, development of artificialatmosphere (urbanization) and associated contamination have put

tremendous pressure on the atmosphere. For every activity there is a

response. So what we are experiencing on atmosphere and/ or geological

range is a response due to cumulative effect of degrading or de-stabilization

of the ecological systems of the globe.

Principle comments

Distinguished guests and members, the chairman parliamentary forum on

climatic change , govt associates here existing, members of the diplomatic

corps if existing, principals, Deans, Director and Manager GIS center

Makerere School . I welcome you in particular to the Greater education of

Technological innovation Style Art and Technological innovation (CEDAT). I

thank the organisers of the perform shop, Dr. Bernard Barasa and the super

brains that put together the idea which led situation research outcomes that

are going to be disseminated and celebrated nowadays. ICTWWCC innovator

Prof. Tim Mwololo from the School of Nairobi and Dr. Macopiyo, thanks for

your insight, determination and your generosity in sharing your medical

experience and information with the younger students in the position.

Today is certainly an event to the various presenters who are going to discuss

their encounters in the perform shop. It is an event to all of us who are going

to listen, to discuss, to discuss information, but more so, to those who have a

responsibility to prepare for the near way forward for our position. I am

informed that climatic change is considered to be one of the most serious

threats to maintainable growth. In the Pond Victoria position of Eastern

African-american, climatic change results and potential variation alternatives

are not well documented even though that this issue has aggravated hardship

stages and weeknesses in various places. Iam therefore glad to learn that a

group of devoted students and scientists has come together to use ICTs to

deal with the regular water relevant results of climatic change.

Makerere School administration encourages and supports such interactions

because they foster new techniques and types of labor that keep the

academia at abreast with the cutting-edge information that focuses on cross-

disciplinary research and use of new media and technology for the benefit of

worldwide group.


4/19

I sincerely thank the various students who are going to see us their medical

results in the perform shop. Iam informed that medical results to be shared

involved various topics ranging from use of ICTs to improve the potential of

insecure places to deal with stress triggered by atmosphere change;

integration of natural information with modern ICT to deal with the hazards ofclimatic change and water; developing relationships , systems and

stakeholder collaboration through use of ICT; creating more beneficial

government systems to handle restricted and modifying regular water

resources; to applying of regular water sources and tracking climate

predictions.

I wish to extend a vote of thanks to the International Development Research

Middle (IDRC) for the generous financial assistance towards these studies

agenda and for assisting graduate training. IDRC assistance has helped to

groom a new creation of scholars in the Eastern Africa position and I hopethat the collaborative academic links will proceed to thrive. I thank the

organizers of day and I is my sincere hope that the perform shop will lead to

more impressive use of ICTs and promote further methodological

developments in your field of research.

With these few comments, I wish you an engaging and successful perform

shop and a pleasant and interesting stay in Makerere School.

As we create for the long run. Thank You.

Parliament Bufumira Eastern and Chair of the parliamentary forum on climatic

change in Uganda.

Protocol

Distinguished grantees, members, Ladies and Gentlemen

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organizers of the perform

shop for the trust put in me to deliver this keynote document.

Introduction

At worldwide stage, climatic change is centered on regular water by either

having too much or too little of it.

Another critical facet of climatic change is improve in worldwide temperature

ranges which has a direct keeping on regular water through evaporation. The

cause of climatic change is mainly attributed to atmosphere individual

activities.

Africa


5/19

Apart from Cameroon, the rest of the nations represented here nowadays are

either within or neighboring the Nile sink, which is an important regular water

catchment for many Africa nations. According to forecasts by the

intergovernmental board on climatic change, improve in temperature ranges

and great rainfall fall variation are predicted in the sink by years2030.Underground aquifers position also a big resource of regular water for

African-american at huge and Uganda in particular but either lowering or

drying up of regular water tables has also been predicted by experts.

Uganda

Changes in rainfall fall regimes, (i.e. prolonged draughts and unusually very

great rainfall fall intensity) and rising of regular temperature ranges have

already been projected and observed in Uganda. A lot of uncertainties in

forecasts about the predicted degree of change under different climatic

change circumstances still remain.

Such doubt can easily result into maladaptation and therefore JIAYU S3

phone demands immediate, incorporated low regret reactions which are

capable of developing strength among the entire regular water dependent

industry and at different stages of society.

The impressive strategy of using ICT in dealing with regular water relevant

results of climatic change is one of such strategy which should be supported

in efficiently disseminating atmosphere information and developing updated

information bases that will facilitate quick reactions to the results of climatic

change at various stages.

By using different ICTs atmosphere designs should be created under different

circumstances in order to reduce the possibility of maladaptation.

Use of impressive ICT resources (e.g. smartphones, maps) to help places in

Uganda change and mitigate regular water relevant results of climatic change.

1.Use of ICT resources such as radios and DOOGEE X5 Pro mobile phones

have been used to spread climate predictions and atmosphere tracking tocultivators and pastoralists during droughts and periods of intense rainfall fall.

2.Empowerment of such insecure places to deal with regular water extreme

conditions (drought, flooding etc.) through regular communication and

awareness development has increased the ability to implement localized

variation activities. For example farming places across the nation are now

practicing ground and regular water preservation activities.

3.By the use of ICTs choice creators have been able to coordinate initiatives

during excessive atmosphere activities and strengthened communitynetworking sites, inclusiveness and processes of learning. A very good

example is during the recent excessive atmosphere event of very heavy

rainfall fall which resulted into too much run-off that triggered mudslides in

Mbale set up Budunda. Though lots of individuals died, rescue initiatives were

mostly coordinated via ICT.

4.The Secretary of state for Water and Environment has used the Gps (GPS)and GIS software to generate charts showing both subterranean and surface

regular water coverage. The charts are resource of straight alternatives for

organizers and implementers within the regular water industry on where to

locate regular water points such as boreholes which are easily accessed by

places. Accessibility of up to-date details about regular water circumstances

facilities timely choice making in regular water sources control and early

response regarding emergencies; and creating more beneficial government

systems to handle restricted modifying regular water sources.

5.Use of ICTs has provided a channel for airing out views through

development of ICT based relationships, systems, discussion and stakeholder

collaboration (Facebook, WhatsApp, local channels etc.) during excessive

atmosphere activities especially among the youth.

Uganda strategy Framework

There are many policies in Uganda which have a keeping on regular water

sources but for this document reference was created to three only.

The Uganda National Development Plan 2010/2011-2014/2015

The Uganda National Development Plan 2010/2011-2014/2015, which is the

nationwide preparing structure, recognizes climatic change as an important

phenomenon that is threat to the multiple advantages that regular water

sources provide. The technique focuses on the reality that if inappropriately

addressed, climatic change will jeopardize the socio-economic advantages

which accrue for extraction of regular water sources and perpetuate hardship.

To improve and maintain the socio-economic gains advantage from regular

water, the technique recommends the need to use effective and effective

control approaches; which needs collaborative attempt at both nationwide and

transboundary stages. The impressive techniques should be in line with the

regular water act and National regular water strategy.

Despite the reality that the technique not precise, ICT can be used under the

umbrella of the technique to spread information and educate the masses on

flexible ways to regular water sources control at both nationwide and

worldwide stages.

The National Climate change policy


7/19

The overarching purpose of this treatment program's to make sure that all

stakeholders deal with climatic change results and their causes through

appropriate activities while advertising maintainable growth and a green

economic system. Support to on-going initiatives to make sure that climatic

change concerns are included in nationwide initiatives for maintainable long-term preservation, access and effective utilization and control of regular water

sources is one of the variation strategy priorities.

Basing on the above purpose and priority, synergies can be established with

the nationwide ICT power and other stakeholders to make sure that

distribution of variation information is given the utmost importance. PFCC for

example is working around the corner to secure funds for distribution of

atmosphere information to the common populace using different ICT channels.

It is also possible to create the overarching purpose to advertising the use of

ICT in dealing with the results of climatic change on regular water sources.

Within the structure of climatic change strategy, Use of ICT may be used for

the following areas:

i.Development of acting resources for the regular water industry as an

appropriate evaluate to analyze the results of climatic change on regular water

resources;

ii.Estimation of upcoming regular water availability to guide regular water

resource preparing and control.

iii.Estimation of climatic change effect on ground regular water sources

iv.Development of regular water use scenarios; acting the effectiveness of

regular water control variation techniques under different atmosphere

circumstances and

v.Quantifying hydrologic sensitivity to atmosphere (rainfall-temperature runoff

relationship etc.)

The Uganda National ICT strategy 2012

The strategy articulates the need to use ICT in minimizing ecological

deterioration, handling mishaps as well as in establishment of tracking

systems to prediction and monitor the effect of organic and man-made

mishaps. Under this treatment strategy, ICT can be used on analyze predict

and spread details about regular water sources under a modifying atmosphere.

i.Review increase the National Climate change Policy to determine precise

activities of strengthening the use of climatic change variation and

minimization strategies; including potential developing.


8/19

ii.Review increase the National Development Way to prioritize financing for

impressive ICT program in regular water sources control other climatic change

problems.

iii.Strengthen implementation of the National ICT thinking about curbing

cybercrime and protecting copyrights

iv.There is still need for potential developing at the nationwide stage in the use

of ICT to create regular water relevant atmosphere designs and predictions.

v.ICT services (such as internet) still need to be prolonged further down to the

non-urban places.

vi.Integrating of natural information with modern ICTs to adjust to regular

water relevant stresses is more maintainable strategy which promotes

possession therefore should be promoted.

Conclusion

On part of the parliamentary Community forum on climatic change , and on

my part, I would like to pledge commitment to assisting the use of impressive

ICT program not only to dealing with the regular water relevant results of

climatic change , but to taking on a holistic strategy which embraces all the

areas of the economic system.

The biggest task nowadays is to tell the difference between;

Climate variation and alter (while farm owners have typically adapted to

variation the existing dealing techniques may not be applicable to results of

anthropogenic climatic change.

Human and naturally caused weather/climate variation or changes and

results.

Global medical group notices that individual activities are the primary source/

cause of climatic change and that the burning of non-renewable fuels is

mostly accountable for driving this modification.

Global warming:

While a few still doubt that individual caused atmosphere heating is actual, but

doubt still surrounds how much? When and how far?

While the causes are due to scattered deterioration the globe, no isolated

initiatives can stop the change; there is need for combined activity to control

most of the foreseeable results especially

On key areas like regular water, agriculture and transport. Need to take

appropriate activities on to individual activities that are believed to be

accelerating the interest amount of climatic change through climatic change.

Deforestation, biodiversity loss and contamination are leading to elimination of

local species nearly tipping organic balance of environment. The development

of semi-natural environments (through intense mono-cropping) that allow the

proliferation and emergency situations of new pests

Every catastrophe or excessive climate event should not be tied to CC.

Paving surfaces(urbanization) coupled with reclamation of wetlands in

Kampala and the resultant flooding and failures is not climatic change.

How to gather analyses and make use of climate and atmosphere information

in the procedure of changing results of atmosphere

We are currently relying on the Inter-Governmental board of climatic change

(IPCC) information distribution center and common flow designs (GCMs) for

CC information and information but remember ACTION is highly required at

the minimum stage (community) where weeknesses and effect is highest. The

procedure is how to downscale these details and keeping it effective for local

action-adaptation.

General flow designs (GCMs) now project atmosphere parameters at asolution of 250 km 2 while downscaled design provide forecasts at 50km2.


10/19

The science of atmosphere modeling is complicated and initiatives to share

this science to farming regular water remain rudimentary and fraught with

what is perceived to be contradictory and unreliable information. C v

Within the climatic change science group there is growing attempt to make

discovering more suitable for creating decisions but as yet there is very littleconscious as to how information may be relied on for creating decisions.

There are two primary ways to tackle climatic change variation and

minimization

As third globe nations, our focus is mainly on adaptation; handling the

unavoidable and preventing the unmanageable. Africa nations are particularly

at risk of climatic change because of their dependence on rain-fed agriculture ,

great stages of hardship , lower stages of individual and physical capital and

poor facilities.

Adaptation is a procedure, to a huge level, a behavior response and instilling

alternation in the way places respond needs time.

Water occupies a primary part in the complicated problems with CC and we

must identify its multi-dimensional part in environment durability livelihood

security and financial growth. It is hard to mention any individual activity that

does not require the use of water!

Adaptation and strength to results of climatic change is generally changingregular water control.

Water- relevant mishaps such as droughts, flooding, landslides, wind storms

and hailstorms promote well over 70% of mishaps in the nation and destroy

an regular of 800,000ha of plants annually, causing financial failures in excess

of approximately US $65 million. Large-scale atmosphere activities such as

El-nino and La- nino, are identified as the key causes of the most severe

water-related mishaps in Uganda.

Drop degree of Pond Victoria; droughts have significantly affected regular

water sources, hydro electricity manufacturing and agriculture, among many

other areas. The great regularity of famine has persisted since 2000 and

Uganda particularly suffered in 2004/2005, when manufacturing of

hydroelectricity declined substantially, throwing the nation into a energy crisis

undermined financial commitment and slowed the countrys financial growth.

Pond Wamala reduced by 50% in the last 50 years.

It is expensive and system breakdown

This is a shift from the manual stationary indicators to information loggers to

real-time.

Meteorological information is mostly collected manually and sent by regular

mail! Sometimes transmission from met station is by DOOGEE X5 Prophone

calls or SMS but this is not institutionalized. After research, information fromUNMA is sent by email to stakeholders.

Way Forward

Adaptation to climatic change variation is not new, but climatic change is

predicted to existing heightened risk, new combinations of risks and

potentially grave repercussions. African-american has always struggled to

survive economically, technologically and environmentally), the existing

dealing techniques had proven to be effective and had become part of our

tradition. However, this may not apply in the existing wave of unpredictable,frequent and extreme conditions in climate. African-american therefore still

has to keep adjusting with hardships associated with hardship, disease,

illiteracy among others. The new techniques have to be systematic

(Knowledge based) rather than independent cautiously preventing the

business as usual techniques.

While most govt sectoral programmes are dealing with maintainable control of

environments and atmosphere there is need for combined activity at strategy

and institutional stage and overview of the different roles and responsibilities

of the organizations and stakeholders. The use of ICT is not a panacea to

climatic change but one of the means to spread details about CC. It should

not be treated as superior but complementary to the existing means. Given

our low degree of computer literacy, prior training to the use of ICT equipment

for this purpose should be embedded in any variation program. Use of ICT in

ICT variation comes to bridge the gap between the evolving perform ofatmosphere researcher and the user places.

It is therefore crucial that the effect of ICT mediated variation in helping the

potential and strength of other places is assessed over a many years. While

the causes of CC originate from regional/global sources, REAL activity to

reduce the severity of results is essentially rooted at local stage with such

methods like tree growing, effective use of energy, reducing, reusing and

recycling of materials. Climate science should be handled by the technological

group while the critical mass consuming and applying the information/

information should be devoted to activities at local and local stages in order to

reverse the existing trend; like the EIA practice, it should become a

requirement to mainstream climate and atmosphere evidence all our sectoral

growth financial commitment. We need to upgrade enhance our climate

tracking systems. Limited financial commitment in atmosphere science:

Weather and atmosphere information and information selection, research,

distribution and action; the lack of adequate information and information to

completely comprehend the changes and trends. We have huge gaps in

information and information to create a situation at nationwide and local

stages which in turn affect s preparing and creating decisions. For example,only 1/10th of met channels are functional.

Strengthen the potential of authorized institutions-out of time frame and

inadequate processing systems and equipment: Increasing the accuracy of

predictions needs helping the quality of the designs, which in turn needs

higher processing energy.

Poverty is risk factor to atmosphere change;

There continues to be a great need to identify information organised by

natives. Although in the face of a modifying atmosphere it is not certain that

existing variation techniques will be sufficient in the long run, yet they must be

the position to start on the which to begin. Local technological innovation that

aid places to deal and adjust to excessive climate activities but do not

advance well on the ground and may even lead to violation of basic individual

rights. Time-after it is discovered that places which discuss their guidelines,

techniques and techniques are those that can improve their strength to modify

and challenges;

Sustainable variation to climatic change is not possible without use of climateand climatic change information in variation strategies;


14/19

The use of insurance, financial commitment in regular water sources

facilities, ground and regular water preservation to enhance farming

productivity, restoration of degraded environments, delivery of accurate and

effective climate (rainfall) information to cultivator places for preparing.

Having the information or information without activity will not save the day

need to discuss costs of generating information, distribution and implementing

appropriate activities that improve group strength.

Adaptive preparing is needed to embrace growing conditions require quick

response.

Although once off tasks are able to deliver technological potential and

community learning encounters has shown that allowing the potential to applyatmosphere details are a resource intense procedure that needs time.

Therefore it is important that financing for climatic change variation goes

beyond lead tasks and once-off interventions and instead allow local

organizations to explore the relevant problems and create the broad set of

institutional and technological equip them for the battle.

It is not too late, the globe can recover if we act now by slowing down, respect

and care for the earth, let us be local of characteristics but not colonizers of

this planet-Lest characteristics will always win.

The inability to localize seasonal and daily predictions is significant

impediment to the use of predictions by farm owners.

Forecasts are produced in English; however UNMA together with its partner

has put systems set up for translations into 12 local languages.

Packaging of the predictions is in medical format (such as regular, above

regular and below normal) is not easy recognized by the farm owners.

Need for strategy oriented research which is not with NCCP

Mainstreaming climatic change in sectoral growth / engage in atmosphere

evidence financial commitment

Increase financial commitment in regular water resource facilities.

3.0 Opportunities within the project relationships


15/19

Presented by Dr. Macopiyo Laban

This project has been done in collaboration with other partners from Latine

The united states, Japan and African-american. The program will end in May

next year. We need to create idea notices for the long run. The contributors

are very happy and feel they will proceed assisting the program and do thingsbetter.

This kind of distribution perform shop is very crucial, very happy with the

participation and everybody in this project. We would like to take advantage

with capital from contributors in accordance with the deals. We have signed

memorandum of knowing in Latina The united states. Those relationships go

beyond what we have at the moment. Please contact us so that we can create

idea remember that consist of incorporating strategy so that we can industry

our perform outside there. What is imagining the program part is something

good to operate together.

4.0 Concerns and reactions

This section contains questions and response from members after different

demonstrations that were produced by different awardees. These involved

demonstrations in energy factor form (attached) from Experts and PhD

students from colleges seen in Malawi, South African-american, South africa,

Cameroon and Uganda. The questions included:

Question 1: Mekonnen Adnew your suggestions were generally for the govtand lacked group stage engagement. What is your view?

Response: It is the Government that is doing more about the variation but

indicated some suggestions about group. I used about 8 categories because

of the system and most of them are affected by regular water quality problems.

Question 2: David Ilimos suggestions need addition of strategy frameworks.

Response: I involved some strategy frameworks in my results and will be able

to add in more

Question 3: Mekonnen what did you mean by spatial scale?

Response: This involved the various categories I used in my research

Question 4: Francis Smell what is independent interpolation even though that

you involved the use of inverse distance interpolation to summarise your

results.

Response: I attempted to use interpolation and inverse weighting technique

because of my characteristics of classification.


16/19

Question 5: Mekonnen what is the take home message for researcher since

all your suggestions are for government?

Question 6: David Ilima there was restricted knowledge of hydrological

circumstances.

Response: There are suggestions in my research for strategy creators for

example on hydrological circumstances. True there are bore holes available

but I considered why they fail? I thought there are hydrological circumstances

which is roofed in my objectives.

Question 7: Francis Smell you stated much about climatic change variation

and forgot about variation. How do you look at the two issues? Can we use

others other than monetary systems?

Response: Without ICTs it would have been impossible for this research.There are some imperatives about climatic change especially during the dry

season individuals line up till afternoon. But the crucial within design and style

not actually due to climatic change is useful.

Question 8: Barasa Bernard, year 2014 has not ended, what is your view time

frame?

Response: I Used Landsat to evaluate lake regular water level and to

discover the amount on monthly and every week foundation using measured

information. This technique can be used on every week foundation incatchment places. In regards to famine, there is a lot of literature about

climatic change results and aspects accountable for climatic change but to

what level they can achieve this each month is what I considered.

Question 9: David illima, I suggest you add on the issue of agroforestry as a

evaluate which should be tackled particularly in towns.

Question 10: Mekonnen there is need to have a further knowing about the

yearly repercussions of climatic change. You need to consist of aspects

contributing to those changes. Go further to discover the about river. That

position has a lot of industrialization. This is an position that can go to strategy

creators.

Question 11: Farmers invest to adjust climatic change variation because many

of natives are stuck and have no knowledge of climatic change but have

always had dependency syndrome. May be it can be the increment of money.

You can come up with a great perform strategy which contains interest

amount of 1o% but they go for the loan that carries 20%.

Response: A cultivator sometimes needs external influence and therefore

govt and community collects what is called community goods. With


17/19

independent variation, the benefit goes to the cultivator but enjoyed by

everyone and therefore money is the route of your time and attempt.

Question 12: Francis Odour: Finding how did you come up with the

discovering that men have higher chances to adjust to the effect of climatic

change. Are you not being subjective?

Response: Male were 2.5 times higher in variation of climatic change

technique than females. Men are the owners of the asset; they own land and

prepare for plenty of your time and attempt. In situation females are to use the

land, typically they have to ask a man.

Question 13: Barasa you need to comprehend figures that indicated a

decrease in lake position. The figure shows 82.1% you need to explain this

figure for a lay man.

Question 14: Barasa the hailstorms make some variations and also some

intriguing information that the river level within the preservation places tend to

vary. What is your comment on this?

Question 15: According to the idea Innovative applying ICTS. Am looking at

where is the end user in the country? I would like to know if within the project,

there is a center in applying to indicate the exact site for wells considering the

non-urban woman.

Response: In the position were the research was carried out, there wasapplying that was carried out for the borehole position.

Question 16: Mercy what type of remote sensing information and the climatic

change aspects did you use that can be adopted in other parts like Uganda.

What kind of community techniques did you use? Where there any

relationship between the two?

Question 17: With the use of stereo, does everybody speak the same

language in Cameroon?

Response: Yes in Cameroon there is a common language that is spoken and

recognized by individuals.

Question 18: Daniel Murgor, what is the difference between climatic change

and variability?

Response: What is happening now is the function of climatic change in all

these activities. Farmers were asked about what they were thinking about

climate and atmosphere and the experience of farm owners over a duration of

efforts and the same changes of climate.

Question 19: Caroline Manie, from South africa metrology developed a

cellular climate alert. Am wondering what assembling your shed is covering. Is

it the same content or something within your perform you did? Within the

same natural information to prediction climate. Will you be interested to

discover and be interested in teaching meteorologists?Question 20: Daniel Murgor, Farmers methods to community information; I

didn t see that component of the function of information authorities in

distribution of information.

Question 21: Sale Abou, you said that the significant food crop is sorghum

and because of climate changes, manufacturing is very low. Many people

have failed to adjust. Do you think this can be modified? Is it possible to

introduce other plants other than sorghum now that the details are not

available?

Question 22: Your design seems to be dealt with expansion authorities, why

did you choose to use expansion authorities as intermediary to the farm

owners. You can use farm owners to share to other farm owners. What

technique can they use to share to farmers? Is it possible to get in use of

expansion authorities in communicating information directly to the farmers?

Response: For the sake of adopting of new innovation there should be

possession from ministry of agriculture especially expansion officer who

cooperate with the in the farms. They cooperate with the directorate of growthin the sub county. Trusting the details does not always mean the use of

information. Additional aspects use of fertilizers. The realization they are

aware about the details, they should be able to integrate these details with

their information.

Question 23: Daniel Murgor in your demonstration you mentioned that

variation techniques are available. How are individuals maximizing the use of

these strategies? Do you think the use of variation techniques will exist? We

are dealing so the variation techniques but adopting is the problem. What is

your discovering on this?

Response: Adaptation techniques are available but adopting is the problem in

my results.

Compliments from Rich Kyambadde Ministry of Water and environment-

Climate change unit in Uganda.

To enrich your research we can use the most recent technology and use it

comprehensively. Map out other places and use them for strategy directives.

You need to discover the reason why some techniques are failing. Mapping iscomprehensive and involves a lot of techniques, strategy frameworks, power

of places and durability and some of the perform for standard interval.

Mapping the regular water aquifers and regular water flows is a necessity in

the use of ICTS in atmosphere resilient developing in African-american.

5.0 Ending remarks

Closing comments were provided by Dr. Gidudu Anthony who mentioned that

there are so many Africans methods to climatic change and some of them can

be seen in many publications. He stressed that the system that has been

established between different stakeholders is very crucial in solving the

problems triggered by climatic change. He thanked the group innovator of

ICTWCC whose attempt was evident by the demonstrations from various

students. He mentioned that at the GIS centre they will be able to system with

different organizations that consist of UBOS, NARO, IUCN and other partners

from different nations.
