 It is very very important and first of all it has helped us as a country to generate a lot of scientific information which was not there before. The research which has been done has provided us with information about the mountain ecosystems in the country and some of this information is very very important because even the government did not have it. So it is informing the actions which are being implemented and you know it is very important that any action or intervention that is being taken to mitigate climate change must be science based or science informed. We did not have this before Eba was implemented in our country. Secondly the country did not have enough resources say as a government to invest in climate change issues. So it was very very important that under such a situation the local people, the local farmers within their communities or within the ecosystem should make in video efforts. So Eba has helped the local people, the local communities to understand first of all climate change that it is real because there are so many people who did not know it. It is something we began hearing about in around 2010. So it was a new phenomenon to many people including the local communities. But now with the interventions which have been done by Eba projects the local people have come to understand what exactly they should do on their farms to adopt to climate change. Most of these projects which have been carried out in Eba have been used as pilot projects and they have helped the local communities a lot to make interventions to cope up with climate change. So I would think that Eba has been very very important especially for the local communities. It has also brought about fora where different stakeholders are interacting to understand more about climate change and also to think about what should be done to mitigate climate change. Most some of these fora like the stakeholders forum were not there before the Eba was introduced in Uganda. Eba has brought together different actors both from the political leadership and from also the technical leadership. It has also facilitated the process of mainstreaming of climate change interventions into the policies and even the legal framework. Most of the information that is required to do that process has come from the Eba projects. You can now visibly see that in most of the meetings we are having in the country both at national and local level you can see the interaction between the climate change actors from the national level, from the local level, from the community level acting jointly to see that the climate change impacts are combated. We have as I said in the beginning very very fragile ecosystems like mountain Ergon were in 2010, we had a disaster, we had landslide which killed over 300 people. So this has come at a time when we need also to think about disaster risk reduction. So some of these projects are moving together with disaster risk reduction. The Eba has introduced three very important tools in climate change adaptation. One of them is the farm radio. Farm radio is a radio system that gives information to farmers on what to do as far as combating climate change is concerned. The other tool is the border border radio. You know the border borders these are motorcycles carrying passengers and moving around throughout the day and they interact with very very many people and the recent radio as they move or when they are at their stages. And these are platforms that have helped a lot in disseminating information about climate change. The third one is the tree finder application which is installed on mobile phones and it can help an individual in finding what tree species that are needed in one area say when they are doing forest restoration or restoration of degraded areas. Even those carrying out agroforestry this application is very very important in identifying trees that can be planted in a particular area. So the three applications farm radio, border border radio and tree finder application have really caused the revolution in this area. If you wanted to advise maybe farmers or foresters whoever wants to get involved in planting trees you don't need to go to libraries or to go to the government libraries to look for this information. The information is just at your fingertip handy and you can just use your mobile phone to know the tree species for all the purposes whether you want trees for the wood, whether you want trees for shade, whether you want trees for conservation you can easily find them using that application which also came with the EBA.
