Strengthening agriculture adaptation to climate change in Uganda - GCP/UGA/041/EC

Uganda is greatly affected by climate change. This manifests through drought, floods and landslides, which have increased over the past decades, especially drought. The country’s economy and the well-being of the population are intricately linked to the natural environment, and therefore highly vulnerable to climate change. Against this background, it was necessary to strengthen the resilience of rural populations, cattle keepers and agricultural production systems, and build the capacities of c ommunities, commercial farmers and the Government of Uganda to cope with climate change.
