Building Resilient Communities, Wetland Ecosystems and Associated Catchments in Uganda

The document outlines a comprehensive Gender Action Plan for a climate resilience project in Uganda. It specifies gender-responsive actions across three main outputs: the restoration and management of wetland hydrology, the improvement of agricultural practices and livelihoods, and the strengthening of access to climate and early warning information. The plan emphasizes the equal participation of men and women in leadership, the integration of sex-disaggregated data in monitoring, and the tailoring of technical training and infrastructure to meet the differentiated needs of both genders.

• The project's first output focuses on restoring wetland hydrology through small-scale water storage and catchment rehabilitation, requiring the integration of gender roles into management training and the inclusion of women as 'champions' for water management technologies.
• To improve agricultural practices and livelihoods, the plan proposes increasing crop diversification for women, documenting indigenous knowledge from both genders, and identifying female community members to lead the adoption of alternative livelihoods.
• The strategy for strengthening climate and early warning information involves identifying the differentiated needs of men and women regarding the format and content of weather advisories and developing gender-sensitive training manuals for dissemination.
• The action plan mandates the use of sex-disaggregated data and gender-specific indicators to track progress, including the number of women in leadership positions within water user groups, cooperatives, and wetland management committees.
