What is our favorite type of weather?

Honestly, for us, at CPAR Uganda, it depends.

The dry season could be our favorite

The dry season is when the majority of our target group – smallholder farming households – have some ‘free time’ on their hands for self-development activity.

Therefore, enabling them to take some time away from their homes and gardens to attend our typically residential training courses.

Life at our Dr. Paul Hargrave Memorial Centre in Lira city. Participants in our residential training on income generation, relaxing; and wile contributing to getting ready for preparation cowpeas leaves.

The conduct of our training courses is also best during dry weather. Enabling hands on practical learning sessions and fieldwork sessions to be effectively conducted outdoors, utilizing spacious grounds of our training centers.

Otherwise, we love the wet season too.

When it rains at the right time and in the right amounts, we celebrate. For we know that our target constituency for which we are established to serve are able to fruitfully engage in ensuring and assuring their own food and nutrition security.

How so lovely it is to visit with our target communities during the rainy season and to find their homesteads and gardens laden with food growing in-field and at different stages of maturity.

Finding food in the home, gives us joy. We can realistically hope our target constituency that we serve consume some of the food that they grow.

And that they do so in sufficient quantities and quality that contributes to preventing them from contracting nutrition related ailments.

And so, yes, there is good in every season.
