Feedback workshops with communities in Eastern Uganda. W6
1. Two-day workshops were held in each study site in the four districts of Soroti, Tororo, Iganga and Kamuli. Four to five villages, who attended the last workshop were invited for this second round of workshops. Forty -five to eighty percent of those who attended the first workshop were present. 2. The discussions especially during the first day of report presentations were lively and helped to bring those who were not in the first workshop on board. The deliberations in each theme were demonstration of the issues that were central to the communities' interest. 3. One issue that kept on recurring is population increase and failure of the communities to deal with it. Although family planning is an accepted method of population control in the world, some of the communities were not free to discuss it and even at family level it may not be discussed. There is need therefore, for the communities to be sensitized on methods of family planning in order for them to make informed choices while discussing this problem. 4. FITCA-EMMC project is coming to a close. Before it winds up activities in the region, it is important to hold a stakeholders' workshop to entrust the work of environmental monitoring and management in these communities to other organisations that will be able to provide the financial resources to see the work progresses and also external monitoring to strengthen the internal monitoring system put forward by the communities.
