Long before the initiation of modern scientific methods for weather forecasting and climate
prediction, most of the local people used traditional ways and indicators of rainfall
forecasting/prediction in order to develop local adaptation and mitigation strategies. The main
objective of the study was to assess the influence of indigenous knowledge on climate change
adaptation in climate change adaptation and mitigation by local communities in Kidongole sub
county, Bukedea district by identifying the climate change indicators as a basis for adaptation in
the community, finding out how the indigenous knowledge practices promote the adaptation to
climate change and exploring the possible climate change adaptation and mitigation measures for
the local community. The study was descriptive in nature and a total of 65 respondents were
chosen as the sample size comprised of farmers that engage in crop or animal farming and/or
both, a few agricultural officers, local leaders and the environmental officers. The sampling
techniques that were used were simple random sampling and purposive sampling. Data was
collected using questionnaires, observation and document review. The data was mainly analyzed
using frequencies distribution tables to acquire frequencies and percentages and the data was also
presented in form of pie-charts and frequency distribution tables. The study found out and
concluded that; most of the respondents could explain the meaning of climate change and the
main indicator of climate change in Kidongole sub-county is unreliable rainfall.
