A crucial foundation for a peaceful and sustainable future lies in water and environmental management, yet significant challenges persist. On the second day of the Uganda Water and Environment Week (UWEWK) 2025, a keynote presentation shed light on several pressing issues, including water scarcity driven by heightened competition among various user groups such as farmers, pastoralists, urban water supply, and industries. Other concerns included land degradation due to overgrazing, deforestation, and unsustainable farming practices; unequal access to resources; weak governance and institutional frameworks; limited human resources; poorly enforced water permits; climate change; social and political factors; poverty and inequality; and rapid population growth.

UWEWK 2025: A Hub for Advocacy, Policy, and Knowledge Sharing: UWEWK has become a flagship platform for advocacy, policy influence, and knowledge sharing, bringing together government leaders, cultural institutions, academia, and development partners.

The Project Implementation Manual (PIM) provides the operational framework guiding the execution of the Integrated Forests and Protected Areas for Climate-Driven Development (IFPA-CD) Project in Uganda. It outlines institutional arrangements, implementation procedures, financial management, procurement, monitoring and evaluation, and safeguards compliance. The PIM translates the Project Appraisal Document and Financing Agreement into practical steps for executing entities, ensuring consistency, accountability, and efficiency in achieving project objectives related to forest conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods.
