Uganda - Support SLCP national planning and deliver methane roadmap [UG-22-001]

Opening Date: 8 June 2022
Closing Date: 30 June 2022
Estimated project cost: US$ 150,000 – 175,000

 

Overview

This project aims to advance work previously funded by the CCAC  to finalize “Phase 1” of the national planning process for short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) mitigation, equipping Uganda’s Ministry of Water and Environment to include SLCP mitigation in its NDC implementation plan.

Expected project outcomes

Through the proposed outputs and activities, the project should achieve the following by its completion:
 

Outcome Indicator Target

1. Uganda’s government endorses the methane roadmap

 Number of action plans, roadmaps, strategies, or other future plans with SLCP targets or mitigation measures formally adopted, endorsed, and/or implemented 1

2. Uganda’s government integrates SLCPs into their NDC implementation plan and GHG emission inventory development processes.

Number of action plans, roadmaps, strategies, or other future plans with SLCP targets or mitigation measures formally adopted, endorsed, and/or implemented

 1

3. Uganda’s government has improved estimates of methane emissions from key sectors to apply the IPCC Tier 2 methodology

Number of government entities with a demonstrated improved capacity for SLCP action

 1

Minimum required outputs

The project should deliver at a minimum:

  • Training to a National SLCP Unit that includes building capacity for: 
    • The integration of SLCPs into NDC implementation plan
    • The integration of SLCPs into greenhouse gas emission inventory development processes
    • preparing a SLCP analysis
    • Resource mobilization for mitigation measures
  • Workshops to improve estimates of methane emissions from major sources including oil and gas, agriculture, and waste by collecting data to improve methane emissions estimates and applying IPCC Tier 2 methodology for Uganda
  • An assessment report  that sets out the mitigation potential of priority methane mitigation measures in oil and gas, agriculture (including soil carbon capture, storage and use- CCSU) and waste in Uganda taking into consideration measures already included in the NDCs.
  • A methane roadmap that follows a methodology agreed with the CCAC Secretariat and is aligned with the national SLCP plan and NDCs.

Applicants are encouraged to propose additional outputs as needed to ensure the expected project outcomes are achieved.

GLOSSARY

Methane roadmap

Should be in line with a modality agreed with the CCAC Secretariat. At minimum, a “methane roadmap” must:

  • Identify methane mitigation pathways.
  • Assess the cost of implementation.
  • Assess the institutional arrangements for implementation.
  • Develop a monitoring and evaluation framework for the methane mitigation pathways.

It may also include:
 

  • Improvements to the national methane inventory
