Supervising trees!

Imvepi refugee settlement, Uganda: Our executive director Mr. Alison LEMERI visited some tree growers, beneficiaries of the Ecowall4Tree project that transplanted 50 jackfruits within their households in village 6 of Point I in Zone Two.

This host community beneficiary constructed the Ecowall himself. Amid the extending period without sufficient rainfall, he remains passionate to grow his jackfruits as he waters them regularly.

With the Ecowall, refugees and hosts help protect the trees from external intrusion, contain water, available enough fertile zone, and provide heavy mulching, irrigation and organic waste to the plant.

Regular monitoring is significant to the farmers' continued share of experience, lessons learned, and tackling of emerging challenges.

This project is implemented in partnership with Change Development Initiative (CDI) and Tree Replantation At Young Ornamental Level (TRAYOL).

Today June 9th 2026, Allvox (AV) participated in an enriching training organized by UNHCR focusing on partner procurement practices.

The session enabled us understand the procurement process, procurement documents, tender preparation and bidding, qualification of bidders, contract awarding, implementation and review of transactions, as well as detecting risks, weaknesses, errors and fraud potential.

One big lesson learned is to enhance procurement structure, policies and review of practices.

Introducing Ecowall4Tree project

AllVox (AV) is excited to announce the start of Ecowall4Tree, a climate initiative designed to engage 25 refugee and host households to grow fruit trees in village 6 of Point I of Imvepi refugee settlement, Terego district.

In collaboration with Change Development Initiative (CDI) and Tree Replantation At Young Ornamental Level (TRAYOL), AV works with community members to grow 50 jackfruits using the Ecowall technique, AV’s locally-tested low-cost climate adaptation technology for tree growing in drought-prone areas like Imvepi.

This one-year project has so far transplanted 50 jackfruits within 25 households,  constructed 15 Ecowalls, sensitized beneficiaries on Ecowall and the best tree growing practices like mulching, watering, inputting animal and poultry waste.

The initiative seeks to have enhanced food security, community climate awareness, and climate resilience through improved knowledge and skills in Ecowall tree growing.
