The Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) for the Uganda Investing in Forests and Protected Areas for Climate Smart Development (IFPA-CD) project is a comprehensive framework designed to guide inclusive and meaningful interaction with all project stakeholders throughout the project’s lifecycle. It outlines strategies for identifying and analyzing stakeholders—including primary groups like local communities and the marginalized Batwa ethnic group, secondary influencers, and vulnerable populations—and details methods for effective information disclosure, consultation, and feedback. The plan establishes a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) to address concerns and emphasizes principles of free, prior, and informed consultation, ensuring that engagement is accessible, non-discriminatory, and culturally appropriate, particularly for the most vulnerable, to foster project understanding, ownership, and successful implementation.
