| Overview : Uganda has over the past years experienced frequent disasters that ranges from drought, to floods, landslides, human and animal disease, pests, animal attacks, earthquakes, fires, conflicts and other hazards which in many instances resulted in deaths, property damage and losses of livelihood. With the increasing negative effects of hazards that accompany population growth, development and climate change, public awareness and proactive engagement of the whole spectrum of stakeholders in disaster risk reduction, are becoming critical. The Government of Uganda is moving the disaster management paradigm from the traditional emergency response focus toward one of prevention and preparedness. Contributing to the evidence base for Disaster and Climate Risk Reduction action, the Government of Uganda is compiling a national atlas of hazard, risk and vulnerability conditions in the country to encourage mainstreaming of disaster and climate risk management in development planning and contingency planning at national and local levels. From 2013 UNDP has been supporting the Office of the Prime Minister to develop district hazard risk and vulnerability profiles in the sub-regions of Rwenzori, Karamoja, Teso, Lango, Acholi and West Nile covering 42 districts. The Consultative process which has involved local government officials and community members actively participated in the data collection and analysis has provided useful information on district specific hazards, risks and vulnerabilities. Objective: - To design and print the various profiles which eventually will be disseminated at both national and districts levels
