Ndejje University has begun implementing a European Union–funded project aimed at strengthening teaching and research capacity for climate-resilient agriculture and green energy solutions in Uganda.
The project, known as Strengthening Teaching and Research Capacities in Recently Established Uganda Universities to Deliver Climate Resilience and Green Energy Solutions to Farming Communities (STRCUU), is led by Ndejje University’s Faculty of Agriculture under Dr. David Talengera, in partnership with Soroti University.
The initiative seeks to equip both institutions with the skills and resources needed to generate research and practical solutions that support farming communities facing climate change.
It is further supported by the University of Pavia in Italy, the Polytechnic University of Porto in Portugal, and the Research and Education Agency (REA).
During the inception meeting held on 20th November 2025, partners reaffirmed their commitment to delivering the project’s objectives.
Ndejje University Vice Chancellor, Rev. Canon Prof. Olivia Nassaka Banja, pledged the institution’s full compliance with the accountability and operational guidelines of the grant. She directed the Accounts Office and the Project Coordination Unit to follow all procedures outlined in the partnership agreement.
Soroti University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Robert Ikoja-Odongo, welcomed the initiative, saying it aligns with the urgent need for universities to play a more active role in addressing climate challenges.
“We in universities should not wait for solutions to be delivered, but should create them. With partnerships from Europe, our institutions must establish themselves as leaders in climate-resilient agriculture, renewable energy, and water management,” he said.
REA Deputy Board Chair, Dr. Damalie Akwango, urged Ndejje University and other institutions to build stronger intra-African collaborations to attract competitive funding. She commended Ndejje for its commitment to accountability and applauded the proposal team for earning a 72% score in the grant assessment.
