  • A Case Study of the Teso Sub-Region, Eastern Uganda
    Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 11 (2), April 2012, pp. 217-224 Role of Indigenous Knowledge in Climate Change Adaptation: A case study of the Teso Sub-Region, Eastern Uganda Anthony Egeru School of Forestry, Environment and Geographical Sciences, Department of Environmental Management, Makerere University, PO Box 7062 Kampala, Uganda Emails: [email protected]/[email protected] Received 20.10.2011, revised 21.12.2011 This study examined the role of indigenous knowledge in climate change adaptation in Uganda with specific focus on the Teso sub-region. Specifically, the study identified indigenous knowledge practices used in climate change adaptation, documented indigenous knowledge in climate observation, and identified constraints to indigenous knowledge use for climate change adaptation. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires, individual interviews, focused group discussions and observation of local traditional rites. Local observations confirmed altered climate patterns noticeable from the changes in the planting, weeding and harvesting periods in agriculture, in tree growth, and in wind directions. Farmers still observe the intensity of East-West blowing winds, colour of the clouds in the East, and plant traits for rainfall prediction. In addition, they also rely on the meteorological information disseminated through the local radio stations. Low mastery of indigenous knowledge practices by younger community members and persistently changing weather patterns have challenged community reliance on indigenous knowledge for climate change adaptation. There is need to strengthen dissemination of indigenous knowledge and to integrate modern approaches that strengthen indigenous knowledge in climate change adaptation and resilience. Keywords: Adaptation, Climate change, Indigenous knowledge, Teso Uganda IPC Int.
