May 12, 2022
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and partners prioritize inclusive nature-based solutions in the achievement of Uganda’s Vision 2040, the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In recognition of the need for greater women’s inclusion and leadership in Uganda’s sustainable development, UNDP has partnered with the Government of Uganda and multi-sector partners to support in various ways.
Women hold a pivotal role in responding to climate change and possess important local knowledge and leadership skills in natural resource management. This capacity must be harnessed through empowering women and girls and fostering inclusive participation in climate change decision making. There is an urgent need for women and men to have equal opportunities for realizing their full potential, while contributing to and benefiting from social, cultural and economic development.
