Introduction

Empowering Community for Self Sustenance (ECOSS) is seeking to launch a new initiative aimed at preserving environment, properly manage waste and promote sustainable energy solutions in urban areas of kalisizo and kyotera town councils. This document outlines the objectives, expected outcomes, and proposed activities for the “Urban Environment Resilience Project.”

Background

With the increasing challenges of climate change and urban pollution, there is a critical need for innovative solutions to protect the environment, manage waste disposal and promote renewable energy. The “Urban Environment Resilience Project.” seeks to address these challenges by implementing energy-efficient technologies and raising awareness about sustainable practices within city environments.

Objectives

• Objective 1: Partner with local community on planting trees along urban roads.
• Objective 2: Conduct educational workshops on energy conservation for urban residents.
• Objective 3: Sensitize urban communities on waste management and disposal.

Proposed Activities

• Activity 1: Plant trees – Partner with local community to plant tree around the two towns. The planting of the trees will be completed in three phases over six months.
• Activity 2: Community Workshops – Organize and facilitate monthly workshops for residents, focusing on practical energy-saving measures and the benefits of renewable energy.
• Activity 3: Waste management – Hold a series of workshops and sensitization activities to promote proper waste management and disposal of plastic wastes.

Expected Outcomes

• Outcome 1: Increase tree coverage – Achieve a 40% reduction in cutting down of trees and step up tree planting along urban roads.
• Outcome 2: Increased awareness on energy conservation – Enhance urban community knowledge on energy conservation, leading to a 30% increase in residents adopting the use of energy saving stoves.
• Outcome 3: Increase awareness on proper waste management – achieve 40% awareness in waste management among urban residents leading to 60% increase in proper waste separation, storage and disposal.
