Adaptive and Inclusive Watershed Management: Assessing policy and institutional support in Uganda

The report examines the institutional linkages between gender, water, and climate change in Uganda, noting that while climate change and population growth threaten water security, women face disproportionate impacts due to limited resource access. It finds that Uganda is demonstrating leadership in mainstreaming gender and climate considerations within its water management policy and institutional systems.

• Climate change and rapid population growth are creating significant threats to water quantity, quality, health, and well-being in Uganda, which may hinder the country's development goals.
• Women in Uganda are the primary users of water for small-scale agriculture and households, yet they are most affected by catchment degradation and lack the necessary access to land, credit, education, and income to adapt to climate change.
• Uganda is exhibiting leadership in its institutional and policy frameworks by incorporating gender equality and climate change into the planning, monitoring, and budgeting of water management.
