One “inhuman” scheme has left behind “misery and trauma” in villages, residents say
The £33m aid project was designed to help poor Ugandan farmers deal with the impact of climate change.
But the reality saw their crops and homes destroyed in an “inhuman” project that left them “on the brink of starvation”.
Local government officials, who were guarded by armed security forces, razed crops, trees and homes as they claimed to be re-wilding wetland in a project run by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which has received £2.6bn in UK taxpayers’ money.
