Project description

The project goal is to strengthen institutional capacity for Rio Conventions implementation and environmental data and information management in Uganda to improve the reporting process to the Rio Conventions and ensure sustainable development through better design and enforcement of environmental policy. The project's strategy emphasizes a long-term approach to institutionalizing capacities to meet Rio Conventions obligations through a set of activities that lay the foundation for effective decision-making and policy-making regarding global environmental benefits. Specifically, the project will be implemented through two components, namely, establishing a national institutional framework for environmental management, and development of coordinated information and data management system. Active participation of stakeholder representatives in the project life cycle facilitates the strategic implementation of project activities, mainly at the district level, in line with project objectives. Moreover, the inclusion of multi-stakeholders contributes to the adaptive collaborative management of project implementation and promotes long-term sustainability of project outcomes.
