The United

Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nation’s global development

network. UNDP advocates for change and connects countries to knowledge,

experience and resources to help people build a better life. The UNDP provides

expert advice, training, grant support to developing countries including Uganda

with increasing emphasis on assistance to the least developed countries.

The Government

of Uganda, through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with funding

from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) is implementing the project on

“Strengthening climate information and early warning systems in Africa for

climate resilient development and adaptation to climate change (SCIEWS)

Uganda”. This is part of a wider Programme on Climate Information for Resilient

Development for 11 Least Developed Countries in Africa (CIRDA). The project is

being implemented by the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE), in

collaboration with other responsible partners including: the Department of

Relief, Disaster Preparedness and Management (DRDPM)/Office of the Prime

Minister (OPM); the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industries and Fisheries

Resources (MAAIF); The Ministry of Local Government (MoLG); The Uganda

Communications Commission; The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development

(MoFPED). The Uganda National Meteorological Authority (UNMA) and the

Department of Water Resource Management (DWRM) under the MWE are the immediate

beneficiaries of the project.

Due to climate

change, there has been an increase in weather extremes globally which has

resulted into several weather related calamities (Floods, Droughts, Landslides,

Heat waves, Extreme temperatures, and Lightning strikes). Uganda has in the

past witnessed an increase of weather related hazards. In addition, Uganda

currently has no operational lightning detection network or weather Radar,

which are essential means of identifying and predicting thunderstorm activity.
