By equipping journalists  with the necessary knowledge we  can collectively contribute in mitigating climate change and  achieving the Sustainable  Development Goals (SDGs),” he added.

Dr Kidudu disclosed the information while briefing reporters members of the Kagera Press Club (KPC) in Bukoba Municipal Council on Monday.
