What we're doing

This project will support Uganda to develop a strategy for organic waste management that aligns with its current policies, including the National Environment Management Act, existing national regulations on waste, and ambitions for the 2025 NDC update. This project is also expected to build capacity within relevant national and subnational institutions on technology solutions, policy and legal frameworks, and financing options to spur further action on waste separation, organic waste diversion from landfills, and deriving value from organic waste.

At a minimum, this project is expected to deliver:

• The Government of Uganda endorses the sector strategy for organic waste management by the end of the project or soon after.
• The Government of Uganda has greater access to finance to implement its organic waste management strategy by the end of the project or soon after.
• National and subnational government authorities in Uganda have a demonstrated increased capacity for organic waste management by the end of the project
