| Overview : Undoubtedly, climate change is one of the key development challenges facing Uganda and the other developing countries at large. The country has been ravaged by the effects of climate change over the years associated with costly aftermaths in form of damaged social and physical infrastructure, loss of lives, reversal of past development achievements such as poverty reduction and impeding the achievement of targeted economic growth rates as reported by the mid-term review of the first National Development Plan (NDPI 2009/10-2014/15). The Uganda Vision 2040 and the NDPII have squarely integrated climate change and the approach is building national resilience along a low carbon development path. However, more needs to be done to actualize all planned climate change interventions. It is important to note that climate change integration and awareness creation are continuous processes that ought to be undertaken at every planning cycle if the effects of climate change are to be contained. Accordingly, the National Planning Authority in with financial support from the UNDP plans to develop a succinct but concrete policy brief on climate change in light of development planning: Moving from integration to implementation. This policy brief is envisaged to articulate the key climate change development planning issues and also recommend pragmatic recommendations on how to transition from the planning and integration phase to the actual implementation of climate change interventions. This exercise will be undertaken by a consultant under the direct supervision of the National Planning Authority. Objective: The overall purpose of the assignment to develop a policy brief on climate change in the light of development planning; Moving from integration to implementation. The assignment will be undertaken through consultancy services under the direct supervision of the National Planning Authority. |
