Episode 60: Goat Farming as a Climate Smart Enterprise in West Nile

Goat breeding might seem like an unusual topic for a climate change podcast. But building household economic resilience is a crucial part of enabling communities to survive the trials of a drastically changing and unpredictable climate. Goat breeding is one way to build that resilience. Evaline Simon is a Regional Manager in West Nile for the Climate Smart Jobs project. She draws on her lived experience alongside deep professional knowledge to help communities in Northern Uganda develop new ways of earning income in a sustainable way. She coordinated the goat breeding program at Climate Smart Jobs and has been implementing it as part of the Climate Smart Jobs project. Well worth a listen - Evaline is a profound and compelling talker. Thanks for listening and see you next time, Josephine
