Uganda is a landlocked country located in East Africa.  In recent decades, the country has experienced increasingly erratic rainfall, leading to more frequent river flooding, mudslides, and landslides that have caused loss of life and damage to property, particularly in mountainous areas(Climate Change Knowledge Portal)   While Uganda historically had a tropical climate with relatively stable rainfall patterns, climate change has altered the regularity of the seasons, resulting in shorter or longer rainy periods and more severe droughts, especially in eastern and northeastern regions (IOM Uganda). 
 
Uganda’s Climate Change Department within the Ministry of Water and Environment aims to strengthen the country’s implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol. The government has identified four main areas of focus for climate action: adaptation, mitigation, outreach, and international cooperation. Although significant progress has been made across Africa in developing climate adaptation governance systems, implementation remains a challenge. In Uganda, key obstacles include limited coordination between government agencies and weak links between national, district, and community-level stakeholders ( E. L. Ampaire, et.al, 2017).  Uganda’s strong dependence on climate-sensitive natural resources makes it particularly vulnerable to climate change. Projected impacts, including increased food insecurity, the spread of diseases, soil erosion, and flood-related damage, could undermine the country’s development progress (Relief Web, 2008).
