Selected project
Short description of project The two main natural hazards that communities are
exposed to in Uganda are drought as well as floods.
Drought mainly features in the North-east of the
country, i.e. Karamoja Region and Acholi Region,
while floods occur mainly in Teso Region as well as
the neighbouring areas, i.e. Acholi and Karamoja
Regions. Adverse effects of climate change are
already visible in the regions. In the 1980‟s and
1990‟s Karamoja for example used to experience
severe drought cycles every 10 years. During the
last decade, severe drought conditions have
become more frequent, coming every two to three
years. From 2006 to date Karamoja has
experienced severe drought. When rains began in
the second half of 2007, they were short and
torrential, leading to widespread flooding and
destruction of property and infrastructures and loss
of lives in many parts of Teso Region but also in
Karamoja Region.
24
These climate changes affect both crops and
livestock leading to depletion of food stocks, low
incomes, high prices and livestock disease.
Development interventions have concentrated on
immediate crisis, especially providing emergency
relief for famine stricken populations especially the
distribution of food aid (including food for work;
supporting therapeutic and supplementary feeding
centres). While emergency humanitarian assistance
is extremely important, resources need to be
invested also in strengthening the capacity of the
community to build internal sustainable
mechanisms to cope with long term adversity.
Governmental and non-governmental interventions
should be geared at enhancing long term
sustainable development, implying that
humanitarian assistance needs to be integrated
with long-term development strategies, if they are
to promote sustainable livelihoods.
Households are extremely vulnerable to natural
hazards such as flood and drought. When these
occur they often result in food insecurity and a
weakening of the social service delivery system.
Many of the natural hazards faced are made worse
by environmental degradation and the effects of
climate change.
Households possess an inadequate understanding
of the links between climate change, environmental
degradation and increased risks of disasters.
Subsequently they also lack adequate capacity to
reduce the risks associated with disasters. When
disasters do occur there is also a lack of economic
capacity to recover without significant external
interventions. With few other options for economic
empowerment communities are often forced to turn
to tree cutting and other forms of environmental
degradation, such as wetland encroachment, to
sustain their livelihoods, especially during the dry
seasons.
Level staff still lack significant practical experience
in disaster risk management, climate change and
climate change adaptation and there is a need for
institutional and capacity building.
The interest in climate change adaptation is only
beginning; therefore the capacity of local
governments is also quite low in terms of the ability
to analyse the context of climate change and
climate adaptation. There is also a resource gap
between what is available for adaptation measures
and what is needed. In terms of environmental
degradation, current enforcement of natural
resource policies is generally inadequate. This has a
number of causes including inadequate facilitation
25
from the macro level and a need for increased
understanding regarding the trade-offs between
short-term economic benefits of ecosystems and
the long term socio-economic benefits of
ecosystems.
Under the UN Framework Convention on Climate
Change, Uganda Minister of State for Environment
has prepared its National Adaptation Plan of Action
(NAPA) in 2007. However, while the interest exists,
decision makers still lack the experience and
resources necessary to implement meaningful
policies.
The national platform for DRR is just beginning to
be developed, while the Ministry of Water and
Environment has formed a Climate Change Unit.
However this unit lacks adequate funding to be able
to implement activities at the community level.
There is a national level policy for wetlands
management but enforcement at the local level
remains a challenge. At the macro level there is a
need to develop and operationalize systems for
early warning, early action which will be linked to
the meso and micro level.
Overall, it is necessary to have knowledge transfer
from the micro to the macro level and financial and
technical support from the macro to the micro
level.
Objectives of project - Objective 1: To increase the resilience of
communities to disasters, climate change and
environmental degradation
- Objective 2: To increase the capacity of civil society
organisations (CSOs) to apply disaster risk
reduction (DRR), climate-change adaptation
(CCA) and ecosystem management and
restoration (EMR) measures and conduct policy
dialogue
- Objective 3: To make the institutional environment
from international to grass-root level more
conducive to integrate disaster risk reduction,
climate change adaptation and ecosystem-based
approaches
- Intervention strategy 1: Strengthening
community resilience (related to DGIS strategy
„DAB‟)
- Intervention strategy 2: Strengthening of civil
society (related to DGIS strategy „MO‟)
- Intervention strategy 3: Policy dialogue and
advocacy for stronger DRR/CCA policies and
increased resources at all levels (related to DGIS
strategy „BB‟)

Where are beneficiaries located? The Ugandan Partners for Resilience will focus on
communities that are directly dependent on natural
resources to sustain their livelihoods. All of the
target groups have few other options for economic
empowerment which, coupled with other social and
political factors such as conflict and poor
enforcement of environmental regulations, has led
to significant encroachment on fragile ecosystems,
resulting in massive environmental degradation. As
a result of this degradation, communities are
leaving themselves increasingly vulnerable to
recurring disasters such as floods and droughts.
When these disasters occur, they weaken the
socio-economic institutions within the community,
by increasing poverty, decreasing school
attendance and increasing the existing challenges
to social service delivery. Without taking action, the
linkages between all of these factors will continue
in a negative feedback cycle that will be further
exacerbated and catalysed by the predicted effects
of climate change. While the linkages presented
here are often viewed as quite complex, it remains
clear that deliberate and effective community
managed interventions, with a focus on disaster
risk reduction and ecosystem management, are
necessary to reduce the challenges posed to
sustainable and effective livelihoods development.
In the Lango sub-region, particular focus will be
placed on Lira and Apac districts. These districts,
located in the north, are prone to flooding and
drought. This area has a high concentration of
wetlands in varying states of environmental
degradation and is also an area of depleted forest
cover.
The Karamojong are agro-pastoralists, in the semi-
arid Karamoja region of northeast Uganda. Rainfall
in this area is very sparse, more frequently leading
to drought, however when it does come it often
causes flash flooding locally as well as in
neighbouring Teso. This area is also characterized
by high rates of soil erosion and deforestation. Due
to the harsh environment in this region, the
Karamojong have a history of roaming across the
27
Karamoja border into the Acholi and Teso regions.
This, in conjunction with traditional practices and
modern weaponry, has lead to a long history of
conflict in these communities which is likely to be
stressed by the effects of climate change. As
almost the whole population of Karamoja region is
vulnerable to the effects of climate change, the
Resilience Alliance will work in all districts of
Karamoja, Kotido, Kabong and Abim in the north
and Moroto, Nakapiripirit and Amudat in the south.
The Acholi/Iteso are subsistence farmers located in
a low-lying, mostly flat region, prone to flooding
and drought. These regions also have significant
environmental degradation specifically in the form
of deforestation. The Teso region also has a high
concentration of seasonal wetlands and, sharing a
watershed with parts of Karamoja, is also at a high
risk of flash flooding. This watershed connection
poses interesting challenges and opportunities for
upstream-downstream management between two
communities, which have historically been in
conflict with each other, however are becoming
increasingly peaceful. As mainly the population in
areas bordering Karamoja region and Lango sub-
region is vulnerable to the effects of drought and
flood, the Resilience Alliance will work in selected
districts of Acholi sub-region, i.e. Kitgum, Pader,
Amuru and of Teso sub-region, i.e. Katakwi and
Amuria districts.
The Partners for Resilience have selected these
communities because of their high vulnerability and
overlapping environmental hazards. These hazards
will increase as a result of climate change and
further environmental degradation. The common
hazards in the target areas also provide a unique
opportunity for direct knowledge sharing between
the target communities. These target communities
are also critically dependent on natural resources to
sustain their livelihoods with few other options for
economic empowerment. The locally based
Partners for Resilience also have a strong presence
in the target communities with extensive
experience working with these communities in
other sectors. This combined with a high level of
mutual respect and support between the
communities and the Partners for Resilience will
provide a solid foundation for the implementation
of the desired activities. It is also a strategic
decision to focus on natural resource related risks.
Since the communities are highly vulnerable to the
health of their local environments, the Climate
28
Centre and Wetlands International will provide
crucial guidance on integrating best practices
surrounding ecosystem management and climate
adaptation into the community based DRR
approach.

with 9 technical staff in 4 districts through 3
offices. In the meantime more project staff has
been recruited. Target groups comprise of local
communities/parishes who take care together for
the premium for health care services for pregnant
women and new-born children. New packages for
health insurance are implemented now for the
other members of the communities as well.
Selected project
Short description of project The “reducing delays to maternal and neonatal
healthcare services in Bushenyi district” is a three-
year pilot project funded by Cordaid and
implemented by Save for health Uganda. It is to
test the possibility of improving utilization of
maternal and neonatal healthcare (MNH) services
by rural families using the health micro insurance
approach. Having piloted the original approach
where financial pooling is by all parish families but
benefits limited to pregnant women and the new-
borns (within their first 28 days) for one year, SHU
in consultation with Cordaid added two approaches
to realizing the project objectives after several

complaints of exclusion raised by the other
community residents who were not direct
beneficiaries. The two additional approaches are: 1)
two products in one scheme: The first product for
obstetrics services with automatic membership
after a fixed parish premium is paid, and the
second being a voluntary membership arrangement
covering general medical services excluding
obstetrics care; 2) Universal coverage – This
approach will automatically cover all village
residents after the village pays a fixed premium.
Access to obstetrics care is with better facilitation
including transport. Communities will now have the
opportunity to choose the best option.

Selected project
Short description of project The overall objective of the programme is to
improve the health status of the population in the
Diocese of Jinja. The programme focuses on the
one hand on how the DHO is functioning and on the
other hand on how 6 health centres are functioning
which will take place in a Performance Based
Financing approach. The health centres elaborated
business plans how they want to improve their
functioning. As basis the Standard Unit of Output
(SUO) is used, which is a (weighed) measure of the
Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau (under which all
catholic facilities fall) to monitor performance of the
health facilities over time and between them. In the
SUO calculation 1 SUO = 5*In Patients + 1* Out
Patient + 2* delivery + 0,3* AnteNatalCare + 0,2*
immunization doses. With SUO, the accessibility is
measured (total SUO), the equity (user fee per
SUO), the efficiency (costs per SUO) and the
productivity (SUO per staff). Also quality (%
qualified staff, patient satisfaction score, drug
prescription) is measured and used in bonus
calculations.
