1) Key Messages
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
A. There are several initiatives by the Government of Uganda, Development Partners, Civil Society and Private
sector to conserve, sustainably manage and addressing Water and Environment challenges at different scales.
B. Despite this unfortunately, the statics of the status of the Water and Environment in Uganda are appalling,
thus clear negative trends for the status of forests, wetlands,…
C. The projected trends in a Business as Usual Scenario has serious future implications for Citizen’s survival,
sustainable development and National transition into middle income status.
D. The Increasing population pressure excerpts more pressure on the Water and Environment resources.
E. Several sectors (Agriculture, Energy, Industry, Health, …) depend on the Water and Environment for
products and services.
F. The inadequate investment in the Water and Environment sector (now at 4% of the total national budget)
resulted into several National Development Plan II targets not being adequately delivered upon by the
respective Ministries, Departments and Authorities.
G. There are several opportunities in the Water and Environment Sector that should be tapped into.
H. The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development; the National Planning Authority and
Development Partners reflect and re-think the model/formulae applied for financial allocation to the Water and
Environment sector, among other priority sectors. Otherwise, the National Development Plan III targets Will NOT
BE ACHIEVED! Thus, additional resources should be allocated to the Water and Environment Sector.
I. There is need for tapping into the demographic dividend through proactive targeting for effective participation,
involvement and benefits to Youth from Water and Environment management initiatives.
2) Status of Natural Resource Management in Uganda – key highlights
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
2.1 Uganda Country Context – Key statistics
• Population annual growth rate in Uganda is 3.3%, thus Uganda is ranked 32nd globally in 2018 and is
estimated at 45 and 61 million Ugandans currently/now and by 2030, respectively. This means
high/increasing demand for environmental products and services = increased pressure on environment
• Uganda's current forest cover stands at 9% reducing from 24% as it was in 1999 (Sector performance
report by the MWE 2018). Its not surprising as the annual forest loss is 250,000 Ha (MWE, 2016).
• Wetlands national coverage has reduced from 13% in 1994 to about 8% by 2016
• By end of 2018, 28% of the population accessed electricity.
• Poverty level is at 27%, up from 19.7% in 2012/2013 (Uganda National Household Survey 2016/17)
• Very low per capita energy consumption in the world with 215 kWh per capita per year (Sub-Saharan
Africa's average: 552 kWh per capita, World average: 2,975 per capita) (Energypidia, 2019).
• High levels of unemployment especially youth unemployment 78% in 2012/13 and 66% in 2015;
• High income inequalities, regional imbalances, gender disparities
• Vulnerability to the adverse impacts of climate change and external shocks;
• Decreased potential for economic growth (3.9% in last two years), below the Vision 2040 & NDP II
targets;
• Uganda has 16 cubic kilometers of renewable water and annual per capital consumption of 2,800
cubic meters
• The cost of Water Treatment has increased 4 times in the last 10 years due to increased dosage of
chemicals used in treatment of increasing poor water quality due to pollution.
2) Status of Natural Resource Management in Uganda – key highlights
2.2 Key responses and initiatives by the Government and Partners:
1. Commitments made in several multi-lateral agreements of the United Nations e.g. United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change; United Nations Convention on Biodiversity; United
Nations Convection to Combat Desertification; The Bonn Challenge; Nationally Determined
Contributions:
2. Commitments made by Government in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals;
3. National Vision – Vision 2040;
4. National sector policies and legislative frameworks – related policy and legislative reviews by the
Cabinet and Parliament;
5. National Development Planning (NDP) frameworks – now NDP III being developed;
6. Sector Development/Investment Plans for Ministries, Departments and Authorities;
7. Strategies to implement various policy commitments through structured programs and projects;
8. Regular planning, budgeting and approvals by Parliament;
9. 5-years District Development plan;
10. Country strategies and related programs for various Development Partners;
11. Strategic plans and related programs/projects for Civil Society and Networks;
2.3) Key emerging issues in the ENR sub-sector
i) Several ENR policies and laws are under review to address emerging issues. Some of these
include: Wetlands policy/bill; Forestry policy & law; Energy policies/laws (Energy, Renewable energy,
Nuclear policy, ..
ii) Sustainable Water access & utilization – under the current climate variability/change and
increased demands for water for domestic use; production (agriculture/irrigation; Oil exploration
activities; Industrial development;..
iii) Balancing environmental management and development
--Several Urban forests at risk of conversion due to pressure from industrialization and urbanization;
-- High encroachment and conversion of wetlands in different parts of the country e.g. Lwela wetlands
converted for rice production
--Oil exploration and development in the Albertine rift;
--Proposed degazzattement of part of Bugoma Central Forest Reserve for sugarcane production;
--Conversion of Murchison falls for hydro-power generation;
iv) Technology, Innovation Development & Transfer for advancing climate change adaptation
and mitigation across sectors– Need to prioritize the research needs and advance appropriate
investments
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
2.4) Key emerging issues in the ENR sub-sector
v) A large proportion of Uganda (about 94%) still depending on biomass (using rudimentary
techniques) for their energy needs. Per capita energy use still very low and hence high energy
poverty!
vi) Uganda’s National Forest Stewardship Standard was approved by the Forest Stewardship
Council. Thus, being the 1st & 8th FSC National Forest Stewardship Standard in Africa and Globally,
respectively. Thus, present an opportunity of promoting responsible forest management through
forest certification.
vii) Limited financing for investment in Environment and Natural Resources sector. This is a
major challenge which compromises service delivery in the sub-sector. Furthermore, it results in
weak ENR policy implementation and law enforcement at all levels.
viii) Increasing influx of refugees greatly impacting on the environment and natural resources in
the host communities. This is largely due to high demands for energy i.e. fuel/charcoal, fire wood;
building materials; water. Situation is worsened because often the preparedness by host communities
is inadequate. A comprehensive National Refugee Response Plan developed, but requires
adequate resources allocation for implementation.
ix) Increased incidence of climate change impacts yet there is limited investment in
preparedness and weak adaptation capacity at community levels.
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
2.5) Key emerging issues in the ENR sub-sector
x) Development of Natural Resource based enterprises value chains for community livelihood
improvement and environment and natural resource restoration in landscapes and catchments. For
example: Shear nut butter, Apiary/bee keeping, tourism,
xi) Waste to energy generation to contribute to energy demands in the cities to deliver sustainable
cities
xii) Fast-tracking the Climate Change bill into law to support enforcement of the climate
change policy aspirations – commitments and strategies
xii) Advancing catchment and landscape management approaches for sustainable ENR
management within the 4 water management zones and the 7 forest landscapes across the
country. This will improve coordination among state & Non-state actors
xiii) The National Development Plan III is being developed. Its focusing on
industrialization as an engine for development using a 1 program/project approach,
landscape/catchment management approach; Natural resource based value chain
approach. It requires a change of attitude & mindset among stakeholders.
xiv) Available International funding for ENR and climate change (Green Climate Funds,
Adaptation Funds, Global Environment Facility,…) to tap into – but it requires to build a
requisite technical and institutional capacity for resource mobilization.
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
3) The efforts by CSOs,
3.1 The ENR-CSO Networks efforts since 2009 to date are as follows:
a. Improving coordination and reporting – to Government through the respective
Ministries i.e. Water and Environment; Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industries &
Fisheries; …
b. Advancing structured evidence-based policy engagement to influence policy
formulation and implementation at the national and local levels;
c. Targeted research for generation of information and facts to inform alternative
recommendations;
d. Contribution to environment restoration and community livelihoods
improvements within forest landscapes and water management zones;
e. Issue based targeted area awareness creation (forestry, wetlands, climate change,
renewable energy, oil and gas, green growth…);
f. Targeted technical capacity building for members of the network and the community;
g. Advancing structured collaboration/partnership with strategic partners;
h. Review/development of the Network strategic plan – now have a 10 years strategic
Plan;
i. Membership mobilization, growth & outreach – 50 members, 6 sub-regional
platforms and national levels engagements & district based engagements in over
60 districts across the country
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
3.2) Key achievements of the Network achievements over the years
(i) Considering the Network members continuous participation in Annual Joint
Sector Review since 2009 to-date, the Network has influenced some decisions and
policy implementation at the national and local level.
E.g. Annual undertaking and Agreed actions made during the annual JSR for the
Water and Environment Sector as Government of Uganda commitments to be delivered
upon by the end of the financial year. Several recommendations by the ENR-CSO network
which have been adopted within the annual undertakings are available in the various ENR-
CSOs annual consolidated performance reports and position papers published since 2011
to date.
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
3.2) Key achievements of the Network achievements over the years
(ii) Increased participation and use of policy engagement spaces at different
levels e.g. in the annual Joint ENR Sector Review over the period the number has
increased from 3 including (Environmental Alert, IUCN and ACODE) in 2008 to an
average of 20 CSOs representatives every year to date. Besides, even spaces at the local
government level (e.g. Technical Planning Committees, District Council) are being
utilized through engagements coordinated by the district coalitions on environment and
natural resources.
(iii) Published ENR-CSOs annual performance reports and Positions over the
years, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. The former is published as a chapter
in the annual sector performance report for Water and Environment.
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
3.2) Key achievements of the Network achievements over the years
(iv) Increased recognition and request by duty bearers for ENR-CSO Network’s
input/contribution in various policy making processes (e.g. Input into the National
Development Plan II; Review/development of the National Forest Plan, 2012-2022; Input
into the Forest Investment plan and the Strategic Program for Climate Resilience;
Representation of the network on key Government of Uganda led strategic
initiatives/committees).
(v) Establishment and operationalization of district environment coalitions in
selected districts in the Albertine rift (including: Bulisa, Hoima, Masindi, Kabalore,
Kiryandongo) and 6 sub-regional platforms across the country. This has increased
presence of the Network at the Local level and its involvement in policy implementation
at district level to influence policy and practice change for sustainable environment
management. Besides, this as well facilitates linkage of the local environment issues into
the national agenda for the betterment of the sector through informed decision making
by the duty bearers.
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
3.2) Key achievements of the Network achievements over the years
(vi) Increased collaboration among members of the network through joint
planning and implementation of ENR programs and projects to address specific
issues in the environment and natural resources sub-Sector in different parts of the
country.
(vii) Promoted and supported mainstreaming of climate change in local
government development planning and implementation. Thus, members of the
network (i.e. Environmental Alert, Kulika Uganda, RUCID, EMLI, VEDCO and ARUWE)
facilitated stakeholder engagements that resulted in the establishment of operational
district Climate Change Task Forces (in Mubende, Nakasongola, Kiboga, Luweero,
Nakaseke and Ssembabule, respectively) that are charged with a key role of influencing
the incorporation of climate and natural resource agenda into district budgets and
planning process.
ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
3.3) Key lessons learnt
a. The strength of the network lies in its members. Hence, there are several
opportunities within the members, which should be harnessed and leveraged to
contribute towards achievement of the shared goals and aspirations of the respective
members through the network as a delivery mechanism;
b. With effective coordination and unity among the network’s members, a lot can be
achieved through structured engagements targeted towards achievement of shared
agenda. This provides motivation for attracting external support from development
partners;
c. The active participation of the respective governance structures of the network
based on their mandates, roles and responsibilities enables the network to keep alive and
relevant. This should be upheld to keep the networks focus given its vision and mission
statements.
d. The district coalitions and sub-regional platforms on environment and natural
resources provide space for leaders to openly voice their concerns and interests in the
management and use of environment resources.

Status of Natural Resource Management in Uganda

  • 1. Presented during the Half-day Meeting with the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources Committee held on 1st August 2019 at Imperial Royal Hotel, Organized by UWASNET. By: Dr. Joshua Zake (Ph.D), Executive Director, Environmental Alert, On behalf of the ENR-CSO Network Secretariat. P.O. Box 11259 Kampala, Uganda, Tel: 0414510215; ENR-CSO Website: http://enr-cso.org/ EA-Website: http://www.envalert.org
  • 2. Outline of the presentation 1) Key Messages; 2) Status of Natural Resource Management in Uganda – key highlights; 3) The efforts by CSOs; 4) Challenges and Opportunities for collaboration and partnership with the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources to advance to advance sustainable Management of Natural Resources; 5) About the ENR-CSO Network; 6) About Environmental Alert. ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
  • 3. 1) Key Messages ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert A. There are several initiatives by the Government of Uganda, Development Partners, Civil Society and Private sector to conserve, sustainably manage and addressing Water and Environment challenges at different scales. B. Despite this unfortunately, the statics of the status of the Water and Environment in Uganda are appalling, thus clear negative trends for the status of forests, wetlands,… C. The projected trends in a Business as Usual Scenario has serious future implications for Citizen’s survival, sustainable development and National transition into middle income status. D. The Increasing population pressure excerpts more pressure on the Water and Environment resources. E. Several sectors (Agriculture, Energy, Industry, Health, …) depend on the Water and Environment for products and services. F. The inadequate investment in the Water and Environment sector (now at 4% of the total national budget) resulted into several National Development Plan II targets not being adequately delivered upon by the respective Ministries, Departments and Authorities. G. There are several opportunities in the Water and Environment Sector that should be tapped into. H. The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development; the National Planning Authority and Development Partners reflect and re-think the model/formulae applied for financial allocation to the Water and Environment sector, among other priority sectors. Otherwise, the National Development Plan III targets Will NOT BE ACHIEVED! Thus, additional resources should be allocated to the Water and Environment Sector. I. There is need for tapping into the demographic dividend through proactive targeting for effective participation, involvement and benefits to Youth from Water and Environment management initiatives.
  • 4. 2) Status of Natural Resource Management in Uganda – key highlights ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert 2.1 Uganda Country Context – Key statistics • Population annual growth rate in Uganda is 3.3%, thus Uganda is ranked 32nd globally in 2018 and is estimated at 45 and 61 million Ugandans currently/now and by 2030, respectively. This means high/increasing demand for environmental products and services = increased pressure on environment • Uganda's current forest cover stands at 9% reducing from 24% as it was in 1999 (Sector performance report by the MWE 2018). Its not surprising as the annual forest loss is 250,000 Ha (MWE, 2016). • Wetlands national coverage has reduced from 13% in 1994 to about 8% by 2016 • By end of 2018, 28% of the population accessed electricity. • Poverty level is at 27%, up from 19.7% in 2012/2013 (Uganda National Household Survey 2016/17) • Very low per capita energy consumption in the world with 215 kWh per capita per year (Sub-Saharan Africa's average: 552 kWh per capita, World average: 2,975 per capita) (Energypidia, 2019). • High levels of unemployment especially youth unemployment 78% in 2012/13 and 66% in 2015; • High income inequalities, regional imbalances, gender disparities • Vulnerability to the adverse impacts of climate change and external shocks; • Decreased potential for economic growth (3.9% in last two years), below the Vision 2040 & NDP II targets; • Uganda has 16 cubic kilometers of renewable water and annual per capital consumption of 2,800 cubic meters • The cost of Water Treatment has increased 4 times in the last 10 years due to increased dosage of chemicals used in treatment of increasing poor water quality due to pollution.
  • 5. 2) Status of Natural Resource Management in Uganda – key highlights 2.2 Key responses and initiatives by the Government and Partners: 1. Commitments made in several multi-lateral agreements of the United Nations e.g. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; United Nations Convention on Biodiversity; United Nations Convection to Combat Desertification; The Bonn Challenge; Nationally Determined Contributions: 2. Commitments made by Government in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals; 3. National Vision – Vision 2040; 4. National sector policies and legislative frameworks – related policy and legislative reviews by the Cabinet and Parliament; 5. National Development Planning (NDP) frameworks – now NDP III being developed; 6. Sector Development/Investment Plans for Ministries, Departments and Authorities; 7. Strategies to implement various policy commitments through structured programs and projects; 8. Regular planning, budgeting and approvals by Parliament; 9. 5-years District Development plan; 10. Country strategies and related programs for various Development Partners; 11. Strategic plans and related programs/projects for Civil Society and Networks;
  • 6. 2.3) Key emerging issues in the ENR sub-sector i) Several ENR policies and laws are under review to address emerging issues. Some of these include: Wetlands policy/bill; Forestry policy & law; Energy policies/laws (Energy, Renewable energy, Nuclear policy, .. ii) Sustainable Water access & utilization – under the current climate variability/change and increased demands for water for domestic use; production (agriculture/irrigation; Oil exploration activities; Industrial development;.. iii) Balancing environmental management and development --Several Urban forests at risk of conversion due to pressure from industrialization and urbanization; -- High encroachment and conversion of wetlands in different parts of the country e.g. Lwela wetlands converted for rice production --Oil exploration and development in the Albertine rift; --Proposed degazzattement of part of Bugoma Central Forest Reserve for sugarcane production; --Conversion of Murchison falls for hydro-power generation; iv) Technology, Innovation Development & Transfer for advancing climate change adaptation and mitigation across sectors– Need to prioritize the research needs and advance appropriate investments ENR CSO Secretariat C/o Environmental Alert
  • 7. 2.4) Key emerging issues in the ENR sub-sector v) A large proportion of Uganda (about 94%) still depending on biomass (using rudimentary techniques) for their energy needs. Per capita energy use still very low and hence high energy poverty! vi) Uganda’s National Forest Stewardship Standard was approved by the Forest Stewardship Council. Thus, being the 1st & 8th FSC National Forest Stewardship Standard in Africa and Globally, respectively. Thus, present an opportunity of promoting responsible forest management through forest certification. vii) Limited financing for investment in Environment and Natural Resources sector. This is a major challenge which compromises service delivery in the sub-sector. Furthermore, it results in weak ENR policy implementation and law enforcement at all levels. viii) Increasing influx of refugees greatly impacting on the environment and natural resources in the host communities. This is largely due to high demands for energy i.e. fuel/charcoal, fire wood; building materials; water. Situation is worsened because often the preparedness by host communities is inadequate. A comprehensive National Refugee Response Plan developed, but requires adequate resources allocation for implementation. ix) Increased incidence of climate change impacts yet there is limited investment in preparedness and weak adaptation capacity at community levels.
