Support to Developing a Market - Oriented and Environmentally Sustainable Beef Meat Industry in Uganda under the 11th EDF The action entitled 'Developing a Market - Oriented and Environmentally Sustainable Beef Meat Industry in Uganda' aims at achieving a harmonised and efficient regulatory environment in the region; and contributing to a competitive, profitable, job-intensive, gender-responsive and environmentally-sustainable agricultural sector, which respects as far as possible animal welfare practices and is responsive to the different needs of women and men, mainly in terms of food security, nutrition, and social welfare, and with a focus on smallholders and small beef-related agribusiness. The specific objective of the action is to use a holistic value chain approach in the targeted geographical areas, to leverage an increase in the overall performance of the meat industry (in terms of production volume, quality, value addition and increased employment) of the Ugandan meat industry. The action will be implemented in direct management (direct award operating grant and procurement) and in indirect management with the Government of Uganda.
Nalubaale and Kiira hydropower plant rehabilitation project The specific objectives of the action are twofold: 1) to guarantee provision of green, affordable and reliable renewable energy by refurbishing of NKHPP turbines and equipment and carrying out ancillary civil works, and; 2) to ensure economic/social infrastructure and livelihoods protection on the Nile River Basin by improving NKHPP resilience against climate change. This should contribute to the general objective of securing and extend access to clean energy (SDG7) beyond the actual 19% access rate to the grid to 60% by 2030 as per the Uganda National Development Plan III&nbsp;and to support further sustainable industrialisation (SDG9) while making more resilient the country and the Nile Basin against climate change impact (SDG13).Uganda has currently 1235MW of total installed generation capacity of mainly renewable energy. Hydropower accounts for 90% and it is concentrated on the Nile River where several hydropower plants operate in a cascade scheme. As the Nalubaale-Kiira hydropower plant (NKHPP) is located at the outlet of the Lake Victoria and at the peak of the hydropower cascade it is a crucial infrastructure for controlling the water level on the Victoria Lake and water discharges on the Nile River what affects 290 million people in the Nile Basin. NKHPP 380MW of renewable energy accounts for 30% of the installed capacity in Uganda. It also provides the cheapest electricity to the Ugandan grid network (USD cents 1.2 per kWh) what contributes to contain the cost of electricity and increase affordability to it. However, NKHPP is almost 70 years old and its&nbsp;generation units have reached their lifespam what increases the risk of failure and therefore forced outages and black-outs affecting the grid stability and the country productive economy.

Water and sanitation in refugee hosting communities The Action addresses priority investment needs in the water and sanitation sector in refugee-hosting areas in Northern Uganda. This is necessary due to the significant pressure on public services delivery resulting from the constant influx of refugees, but also increased climate change challenges in form of extreme weather events like longer and more frequent droughts, heavy rains and flooding. A two-pronged approach shall be taken, by responding to long-term needs, contributing to enhancing water supply, household and community sanitation facilities, sustainable storm water / surface drainage infrastructure, and adapted solid waste management (SWM), benefitting both refugees and the Ugandan population. The programme approach will promote operationalising the humanitarian-development Nexus as the responsibility for the development, management and governance of these WASH (including SWM) services is transitioned from humanitarian institutions (e.g. UNHCR) to local stakeholders / state institutions (e.g. Ministry of Water and Environment, private service providers and/or public utilities such as the National Water and Sewerage Corporation, NWSC), thus fostering a longer-term, sustainable approach to basic services in line with the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework, CRRF.
