An East African Landcare Master Class is being planned for March 2012. The class will involve key people from existing Landcare activities in East Africa as well as engage new partners who could assist in building sustainable country Landcare programmes in the region. The Crawford Fund has agreed to support a number of skilled Landcare trainers to travel from Australia to teach part of the class and prepare training materials that can be used for future African Landcare Master Class’s.in building sustainable country Landcare programmesrd in the region.  Within East Africa Landcare provides a viable mechanism to strengthen rural grassroots organisations and networks while introducing new and relevant technologies to simultaneously improve their livelihoods and the natural resource base on which they depend. The class will be held in Uganda with field visits to Kapchorwa to learn from the existing successful Landcare groups and Landcare Network there.
