November 9, 2026

This case study highlights how the Uganda Red Cross Society, through the PASSAGE Project, is strengthening community resilience, protection and inclusion in Musas, Uganda.

By establishing a community-led radio early warning system, the initiative has improved access to timely climate and disaster risk information, enhanced community preparedness, and created opportunities for women, youth and persons with disabilities to participate in decision-making.

The case study showcases the transformative role of inclusive, locally led early warning systems in promoting gender equality, strengthening social cohesion and protecting vulnerable communities from climate-related and other risks.
