Fostering Entrepreneurship to Accelerate Impact
Fostering entrepreneurship is critical to sustainably increasing incomes in last-mile communities. Today, hear from RTV's very own Jolly Nyiramahoro on how RTV's Secure, Improve, Sustain Program helps thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs in rural Uganda break the cycle of ultra-poverty.
COVID-19 and the Health Vulnerability of Last-Mile Communities
In this episode of RTV Chit-Chat, we meet with David Kafambe, Raising The Village Head of Programs. David talks about the health situation in last-mile communities and how the COVID-19 pandemic is intensifying the pressure. He also tells us about Raising The Village's Health interventions as part of our holistic programs.
Livestock Production in Rural Areas
In this episode of RTV's podcast, we meet with Ibrahim Lukenge, Raising The Village’s Veterinary Officer. Ibrahim will take you through his typical day of work and share his insights about the role livestock assets play in the life of last-mile rural communities.
Replicating Success: How Raising The Village Works with Local Governments
Our partnerships at the National level with the Govt. of Uganda, and our close collaboration with the local governments in our districts of operations are instrumental in the success of our programs. In fact, local government extension workers are responsible for conducting training, providing treatments, and following up throughout the project lifecycle.
Let us find more about this in my conversations with Disan Kasozi, RTV’s Replication and Technical Team Manager, and Sawiya Ndikuyeze, a Community Development Officer (CDO) of Murora Sub-county in Kisoro district.
