African Initiative on Food Security and Environment (AIFE-Uganda) is a non-profit organization incorporated and Limited by Guarantee (January 2016) in Uganda whose role is to organize communities to be proactive against climate change and conserve the environment through biodiversity conservation, climate smart agriculture, research, community mobilization, teaching, and evaluation of practices. These objectives are achieved while working hand in hand with likeminded civil society organizations, governments, and development partners that are both local and international, including the indigenous peoples in Uganda.
We have carried out livelihood projects, campaigns, research, trainings, fieldwork and organized dialogues, seminars, and conferences all aimed at improving the relationship between human beings and conserving the environment while keeping their rights and livelihoods central to our agenda. We have been working on these matters since our establishment in 2016.
