The accuracy of data on livestock-derived emissions is still currently limited. This is largely because Uganda does not have an efficient and robust data management and emissions inventory system to monitor livestock greenhouse gas emissions GHG).
This is further compounded by the poor record-keeping practices and lack of investment in research that can enable the country to develop specific emission factors resulting from livestock sector specifically and agriculture sector in general. With funding from the EU, local experts are now looking to reverse this trend by embarking on collection of data and generating information that will contribute towards improving the accuracy of livestock emission in the country.
