Kulika Uganda Project Progress Report: September 11th, 2025
This report covers the period June –August 2025 and it’s the fifteenth progress report since obtaining funds in October 2020. During this period, the project continued to carry out training, production and marketing of briquettes to promote safe, cheaper and clean energy, income generation and contribute to reduction of tree cutting for fuel, thus contributing towards environmental protection.
Progress Towards Adaptation
Briquette Training: During the reporting quarter, the Centre successfully conducted briquette production training for 10 members of the Tusimbudde savings group. The participants were equipped with essential skills including, proper mixing techniques, correct material ratios, and strategies for producing and marketing carbonized briquettes.
Intern Students: In addition, the Centre trained youth from various training institutions. A total of 48 students (16 female and 32 male) received comprehensive training in the production, utilization, and marketing of briquettes.
Domestic Cooking: Kulika Training Centre registered 5 new female headed household clients during this quarter who adopted briquettes for domestic cooking. This resulted in a cumulative total of 272 household clients from the 267 clients reported in the previous quarter Additionally, the Centre onboarded 2 new institutional clients, bringing the total number of institutional clients to ten
Brooding Chicks: This quarter recorded increased adoption of briquettes among the Kyanuna Women’s Group, with six more members embracing the technology for brooding day-old chicks, raising the total number of adopters to eight. Importantly, the seven clients who had taken up the practice in earlier quarters have sustained their use, reflecting continued confidence in the technology. Kulika Training Centre also consistently uses briquettes in its brooding operations, further highlighting the practicality, effectiveness, and long-term sustainability of this energy solution.
Production and Marketing: Briquette production and sales continued to grow steadily during this quarter. The Centre produced and sold 2,299kilograms of briquettes, generating UGX 2,609,000 Ugx, this reflects a significant increase of approximately 180 % in production volume compared to the 1060.5 kilograms produced and sold in the previous quarter.
Community Extension Work: The Centre has maintained continuous monitoring and provision of technical backstopping to the trained women’s groups. In parallel, awareness-raising initiatives on the advantages of briquette production and utilization have been sustained. These sensitization activities position briquette making as a strategic intervention for climate change mitigation, household income enhancement, and the promotion of clean, affordable cooking energy within both community and school environments.
Way Forward for the Next Quarter
