We want to give a massive thanx to and for taking point for a truly amazing event.

Together, we managed to donate food, clothes, household essentials, rubbish disposal cans and handwashing equipment. This is vital because these populations are disproportionately affected by both a changing climate and a worsening financial environment making it just harder to cope with children being the most at risk.

How can we improve childrenā€™s health thatā€™s impacted by discrimination?

From our last post , we have spent the last month engaging with the children of Kawempe district understanding how discrimination and itā€™s intersection with other inequalities impacts their health.

The main question still remains, how can we improve childrenā€™s health outcomes?

One strategy is ensuring that the policies that are enacted combat structural racism as well as putting minoritised communities at the forefront of policy agenda.

Why?: From the work that we do, we have evidenced that a childā€™s access to health care is heavily dependent on their parents social economic status. Hence policies that empower minoritised communities while combating structural discrimination in that community often lead to better health outcomes for children.

Have any other recommendations? Leave them in the comments

Over the past few weeks, we have been doing our bit of public engagement as part of The Lancet Commission on Racism and Child Health, this commission is a series of publications aimed at exploring how discrimination impacts childrenā€™s health, particularly how racism, xenophobia, and discrimination impact childrenā€™s health, considering their interaction with other systems. It aims to assess interventions at the structural, institutional, spatial, and individual levels to improve child health and combat these forms of discrimination. Additionally, it seeks to provide actionable pathways for advocacy to eliminate racism and discrimination, ensuring better health outcomes for all children.
Through a series of workshops, we engaged children in meaningful discussions about their experiences with discrimination in healthcare and other areas of their lives. The children expressed their vision for a fair and inclusive health system, leading to the creation of a mural that reflects their hopes for a healthcare system free from bias and accessible to all. This project highlights the urgent need to address systemic inequalities that affect the wellbeing of Ugandaā€™s youngest generation.
Our motivation for this project comes from a deep commitment to ensuring that all children, regardless of their background, have access to equitable healthcare. We believe that involving children in these conversations empowers them and raises awareness of how discrimination affects their health and future. We extend our heartfelt thanks to and our other partners for their invaluable support in making this initiative a success.
Together, we are working to build a more inclusive and just health system for all.

This issue of The Question takes a deep dive into the world of food, with concepts like food sovereignty, a movement that emphasizes local control and sustainability over large-scale, corporate agriculture, an examination of our evolving relationship with what we eat, considering how cultural traditions, personal choices, and even global trends are shaping our plates.

In the grand scheme of human needs, food sits on a throne. It sustains us, defines our cultures, and yet, its impact often goes unconsidered. With this issue of The Question we look deeper at what nourishes us. We havenā€™t simply compiled articles; weā€™ve meticulously researched and crafted a compelling narrative that exposes the intricate web of food, our evolving relationship with sustenance, and the stark environmental consequences of modern practices, we do hope you enjoy reading this quarterly review just as we enjoyed making it.

The term Water heroes can mean so many things, to us it means people and communities that are rising up from the most water stressed areas to conserve that most precious of resources, embodying resilience and innovation in the face of water scarcity. These individuals and groups spearhead transformative initiatives to promote water conservation, highlighting the crucial role of grassroots leadership in addressing global water challenges. By harnessing local knowledge, fostering collaboration, and inspiring collective action, community-led innovations in water conservation play a pivotal role in safeguarding water resources for present and future generations.

At the heart of community-led innovations in water conservation lies a deep understanding of local water dynamics and challenges. Water heroes leverage this knowledge to implement context-specific solutions tailored to the needs and realities of their communities. Whether through rainwater harvesting systems, community-managed water kiosks, or watershed protection initiatives, these innovations reflect a nuanced understanding of the interconnectedness between water, ecosystems, and livelihoods.

Moreover, community-led innovations in water conservation foster a sense of ownership and empowerment among residents, driving sustained engagement and long-term impact. By actively involving community members in decision-making processes, these initiatives promote a culture of stewardship and responsibility towards water resources. As individuals and groups unite behind a shared vision of water security, they not only mitigate the immediate impacts of water scarcity but also cultivate a legacy of resilience and sustainability that transcends generations.

Water scarcity is a multifaceted challenge encompassing physical, economic, and social dimensions that affect communities worldwide. With increasing population growth, urbanization, and climate change, the pressure on water resources intensifies, leading to shortages, competition, and conflicts over access to clean water. Regions facing water scarcity often experience adverse impacts on agriculture, industry, health, and ecosystems, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and hindering sustainable development.

In response to water scarcity, various factors contribute to exacerbating or mitigating the problem. Poor water governance, inadequate infrastructure, inefficient water use practices, and unsustainable resource management exacerbate scarcity issues. Conversely, innovative technologies, policy reforms, community-based initiatives, and international collaborations play pivotal roles in addressing water scarcity challenges and promoting resilience.

Understanding the root causes and drivers of water scarcity is crucial for designing effective solutions. Factors such as population growth, rapid urbanization, unsustainable agricultural practices, pollution, climate change, and inadequate water management contribute to the problem. Integrated approaches that consider social, economic, and environmental factors are essential for sustainable water management.

The has emerged as one of the most impactful events we have been involved with this year and we were pleased to be a part of yet another edition of this idea sharing space this time with a twist, at COP28 in Dubai. Amidst the urgent crossroads of the climate crisis and health challenges, this pivotal event became a melting pot of innovative ideas and diverse perspectives, fostering collaborative solutions that transcended generational boundaries. Beyond a physical space, the cafe symbolized a unified front against climate challenges, with impactful outputs such as one of the most influential panel discussions we have had so far, films, comics, and 'The Question' magazine disseminated to inspire ongoing discussions and broader public engagement. This event set the pace for a transformative journey of collaboration and innovation that we hope to see unfold at future Kampala Climate Cafes and that we hope will help in shaping a sustainable future.

We are excited to publish our blog by on Earth Observation Data.
Earth Observation (EO) Data, obtained through advanced technologies, is vital for understanding Earth's land, sea, and atmosphere. It swiftly collects data over large areas, aiding in environmental assessment.

For marginalized communities, EO data is a powerful tool against injustice, mapping cultural sites, and fostering collaboration.

Despite its benefits, EO data use raises ethical and security concerns. However, its growing interest lies in its potential to address climate change impacts, like migration. In Uganda, climate migration affects communities due to socio-economic hardships and environmental shocks.
EO data is pivotal for policymakers, enabling modeling and forecasting of migration flows. In the face of challenges, researchers in the AfriCultuReS project are using EO data for agriculture sectors in eight African countries, emphasizing community engagement.

While EO data presents challenges, its careful utilization can predict migration dynamics, fostering social justice amid increasing climate disasters.
