Outcome 2: Forestry stakeholders better capable of transforming their mandates;

• policy, legal and institutional framework is updated for and increased support to commercial forestry sector.
• functional capacity of public institutions to support, regulate, coordinate and monitor the forestry sector strengthened.
• technical capacity of private sector and other stakeholders strengthened.

Outcome 3: Downstream industrialization and processing of forest products

• technology skills and methods enhanced
• regulation and coordination of forest products enhanced.

Outcome 4: Applied research for development integrated along the forestry value chains 

• research agenda for commercial forestry developed
• institutional capacity for research along commercial forest value chains enhanced.

Objectives: The overall objective is to contribute to the sustainable improvement of livelihoods and food security of rural population in Uganda and specifically to strengthen the resilience of rural populations and agricultural production systems in the central part of the cattle corridor and build the capacities of communities, commercial farmers and the Government of Uganda to cope with Climate Change

Period: 19 July 2012 - 18 July 2016

Donor: European Union.

Description: The four year project builds on existing initiatives in the area of climate change and aims to implement several of the priorities of the National Adaptation Plan for Action in line with the National Development Plan (2010-2014). The project is organized around three results:

(1) Knowledge and capacities for climate change adaptation strengthened;

(2) Better access of livestock and crops to water through water for production investments; and

(3) Resilience of agricultural production systems improved.

The project interventions are implemented at national and sub-national levels, covering six districts of the Central Cattle Corridor, namely, Nakasongola, Luwero, Nakaseke, Kiboga, Mubende and Sembabule.

At the national level, the project is increasing access to information on CC through capacity building of the Climate Change Department, other national institutions and stakeholders, coordination and action research.

At the decentralized level, the project targets farmers and farmers’ groups (mainly through Farmer Field Schools), and is working in close collaboration with and providing support to the respective District Local Governments, providing capacity development on specific issues related to climate change and agriculture, water for production and others
