UGANDA’S FORESTS ARE PROVING THAT CLIMATE FINANCE CAN WORK, IF THE WORLD IS PAYING ATTENTION Loss has dominated conversations about tropical forests for many years. Declining tree cover, rising emissions, and the pressure on governments struggling to balance development with conservation have shaped the narrative. Uganda knows these challenges well. But the global discussion often omits how countries are responding and the progress being made.

In 2008, the Directorate of Water Resources Management (DWRM) and the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) adopted a strategy to de-concentrate IWRM at the regional and river basin or catchment level with central oversight and guidance. One of the mains reasons behind this strategy is that it brings IWRM functions closer to stakeholders (farmers, townspeople, local government officials, etc.). Doing this helps to concentrate the focus onto real problems, to improve the analytical underpinnings of programs and projects and it also provides the opportunity for stakeholders to participate in the formulation of plans and the development of new water infrastructure.

In this document, a summary of the main weather and climate events that occurred in Uganda during the calendar year of 2022 is provided. The major weather and climate events are documented using observed rainfall and temperature data in line with ACMAD and WMO, including reports from meteorological stations across the country.
