    Skills Training

    VOCATIONAL & TECHNICAL SKILLS

    Living Earth Uganda works to design and deliver training programmes that build capacity of instructors from vocational training institutions (VTIs) in the country. For instance, recently LEU implemented the same in Bulisa, Hoima and Masindi districts under its Jobs & oil project.

    This is key to increased confidence and capacity amongst instructors from VTIs, enhanced delivery of vocational training and improved learning experience for students.

  • Water, Sanitation & Hygiene

    LEU has extended its frontiers to supports eco enterprise development. This is done through the development of a cadre of rural enterprises in communities that border protected areas including national parks, forest and wildlife reserves.

    A case in point is Hoima, Bulisa and Masindi districts where the enterprises will receive training to improve their business management skills and to identify and develop projects for which funds from the Revenue Sharing Agreements offered by Uganda Wildlife Authority can be invested.
