Uganda

ICAT worked with Uganda to enhance its greenhouse gas emission inventory and projection capabilities for the transport and waste sectors, improving the tracking of actions related to Uganda's NDC. This included strengthening the capacity of the sector working groups for inventory management and conducting baseline assessments, as well as operationalizing the NDC tracking framework. A follow-up project currently under implementation is extending the NDC tracking framework to the stationary energy, IPPU, and AFOLU sectors.

Overview

Sustainably enhance the NDC tracking system to build Uganda’s ability to track the NDC actions and create an enabling environment for the implementation of the Climate Change Act. Build on the previous project by extending the NDC tracking framework to the stationary energy, IPPU, and AFOLU sectors.

Overview

Evaluate the greenhouse gas and sustainable development impacts of the Geothermal Energy Development policy to determine its potential for driving transformational change and to identify the resulting outcomes.

Policy assessment

Policy assessment

  • Conduct an ex-ante assessment of the potential transformational impacts related to geothermal energy development in Uganda, with a focus on social and environmental considerations., using the ICAT Transformational Change Methodology.
  • Support capacity building for transparency, and provide insights for the policy design process.
  • Provide feedback on the methodology based on the assessment.
