Communication plays a pivotal role in climate information systems, not only in shaping how messages are designed, delivered and received, but also in addressing key challenges to climate action.
This case study explores how the implementation of LIFE-AR in Uganda employed an inclusive, multilevel communication plan to sensitise, mobilise and connect with communities across four pilot districts.
By combining traditional and modern communication tools such as radio, market drives, barazas, local leadership structures and digital platforms, LIFE-AR community mobilisation activities enabled wide-reaching, inclusive and context-sensitive engagement. These efforts positioned communities not just as recipients of information, but as active co-designers of climate resilient development in their districts.
The approach generated valuable insights on how the initiative could learn from previous programmes to be more effective. The experiences from the first four districts in Uganda offer critical, context-rich lessons for scaling locally driven and equitable communication strategies to other pilot districts in Uganda. These lessons are equally relevant for other countries and the wider ecosystem seeking to embed inclusive, community-driven approaches in their adaptation programmes.
