Promoting Resilient Communities and Local Economies in Uganda, through the Local Climate Adaptive Living (LoCAL) Mechanism <p>As a LDC and the 12th most vulnerable country globally to climate change , the effects of climate changes on and Uganda¿s growing population will result in extreme challenges for the country. Increasing variability in rainfall and rising temperatures can reduce the amount of agricultural land, shorten growing seasons, hamper crop production, undermine the (ground) water resources and alter the occurrence and distribution of pests. Uganda is furthermore experiencing significant impacts characterised by changing weather patterns, drop in water levels, increased frequency of extreme weather events (e.g., mudslides, landslides, and flooding) that have increased over the last 30 years . Climate change has affected agriculture, water, health and human settlements. The rural poor and marginalized groups are particularly vulnerable and poorly equipped to cope with and adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change.</p><p>In order to increase its resilience and ability to cope with these effects of climate change, the country need to invest massively in green projects, at different levels. The underlying intervention logic for this action is that access to climate finance is vital for the country to reach its sustainable development and climate resilience objectives. Therefore, this action aims to support access to climate financing in a comprehensive approach and at three different levels. This contract with UNCDF will cover Component 1 (local level)</p><p>Component 1 : Through the implementation of the Local Climate Adaptation Living Facility at country level. The LoCAL mechanism is recognised as a government-led, internationally recognized country-based mechanism for channelling climate finance transparently and effectively for local action. The LoCAL approach will consist in: 1) raising awareness and strengthening the capacities for subnational climate change adaptation at both District and central levels (including gender sensitivity), 2) supporting the integration of climate change into local planning and budgeting processes and financing local adaptation interventions and investments and 3) establishing and deploying an effective performance-based climate resilience grant system (financing mechanism) that can attract various other sources of climate finance. This will increase the results obtained in terms of climate change resilience at local level.</p>

Enhancing protection of rights and freedoms of vulnerable communities in regard to; land access, ownership and utilization among the refugees and host communities of Northern Uganda <p class="ql-align-justify">This Action has been prepared by KRC-Uganda in partnership with Centre for Social Cultural Rights Africa (CESCRA) and Women and Rural Development Network (WORUDET) and in full consultation with the contacts from the communities in the three refugee settlements and the host communities. This was done with assistance from the contacts of the on-going project in the three settlements (Palabek, Rhino and Bidibidi) run by the same partners and from local leadership who were consulted in various periodic review meetings. Furthermore, a number of studies have been conducted to identify the missing gap that will be filled by this action within the three refugee settlements. These studies included; the baseline study (2021), contextual analysis (2021) and the Mid-term project evaluation (2023).</p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify">Uganda remains one of the leading countries hosting refugees in Africa and third world over with a total refugee population of <strong>1,532,168 (UNHCR, March 2023) </strong>with women and children making 80% of the total refugee population.<strong> </strong>Uganda operates a settlement approach which makes its refugee policies accommodative where refugees are availed with land use rights for settlement and economic self-reliance. Therefore, refugees are permitted freedom of movement, legal employment, access to markets and user rights to be allocated plots of land as means to economic freedom. However, Uganda¿s refugee policy fails to address land negotiations and acquisition and pre-construction. The settlement¿s physical layout has often times resulted into disagreements that lead to conflict between the refugees and the host communities.</p>
