Programme Performance Reports

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), defined in Article 12 of the Protocol, allows a country with an emission-reduction or emission-limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Party) to implement an emission-reduction project in developing countries. Such projects can earn saleable certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2, which can be counted towards meeting Kyoto targets. The mechanism is seen by many as a trailblazer. It is the first global, environmental investment and credit scheme of its kind, providing a standardized emissions offset instrument, CERs.

IFPA-CD, Uganda’s Conservation Success:
Integrating Water Resources, Environment, and
Climate Resilience.

The Simu- Muyembe community-based management plan (CBWMP) is developed under the “Strengthening Adaptive Capacity and Resilience of Communities in Uganda’s Watersheds – Awoja
Catchment (SACRiAC) – Project” with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the African Development Bank. It is presumed that the ten-year plan will ensure the sustainable use and conservation of Simu-Muyende wetland so that it can provide benefits to the community.

The communities around Komirya wetland, civil society organizations, traditional and political leadership of the six sub counties of Kongunga, Aligoi, Kocheka, Kolir, Aminit, and Kachumbala and Bukedea District Local Government provided invaluable information about wetlands management issues and contributed greatly to designing appropriate management and conservation strategies
contained in this plan.

The Nalugugu community based management plan (CBWMP) is developed under the “Strengthening the Adaptive Capacity and Resilience of Communities in Uganda’s Watersheds in
Awoja Catchment – SACRiAC project” with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the African Development Bank. It is presumed that the ten-year plan will ensure the sustainable use and conservation of Nalugugu wetland so that it can provide benefits to the community.

The Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) is implementing the development of three- medium sized irrigation schemes in northern and eastern regions of Uganda, covering an irrigable area of 1,800

BACKGROUND
The Government of Uganda (GOU) represented by the Ministry of Water and Environment
(MWE) has received financing from the World Bank towards the cost of the implementation of
the Irrigation for Climate Resilience Project (ICRP). The project development objective (PDO) is
to provide farmers in the project areas with access to irrigation and other agricultural services,
and to establish Operation and Maintenance arrangements for irrigation service delivery. The 6-
year project will be implemented by MWE with the Ministry of Agriculture Industry and Animal
Fisheries (MAAIF) as the Technical Implementation Partner.
