Uganda is a land-locked country located in East Africa. The Climate Change Knowledge Portal has noted that in past decades, the country has experienced “more erratic rainfalls leading to frequent busting of rivers, mudslides and landslides that lead to loss of lives and property of communities especially those living in the mountainous areas.” Previously known to have a tropical climate with stable rainfall patterns, the effects of climate change have affected the regularity of the seasons with the country experiencing shorter or longer rains and harsher droughts – especially in the eastern and north-eastern Uganda (IOM Uganda). 
 
The Climate Change Department of the Ministry of Water & Environment of Uganda, with the main objective to strengthen Uganda’s implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Kyoto Protocol (KP), identified four sections of focus for their government-led climate action: adaptation, mitigation, outreach, and international relations. Even with the substantial strides made in developing climate adaptation governance systems across Africa over the last decade, actual implementation remains a significant hurdle. The primary obstacles are the lack of effective collaboration between government agencies and the insufficient connection between national, district, and community stakeholders (Institutional challenges to climate change adaptation: A case study on policy action gaps in Uganda, 2017, E. L. Ampaire, et.al). Given its close connection to climate-dependent resources, Uganda faces severe climate vulnerability. The projected changes, such as heightened food insecurity, disease expansion, soil erosion, and flood-related damage, risk undermining the country’s development achievements (Relief Web, 2008).
