Ensuring Climate Resilience and Energy Substitution for WASH Systems in Drought-Prone Districts of Karamoja Subregion, Uganda

Karamoja region experiences high year-to-year variability in climate cycle, including unpredictable rainfall patterns, which undermines the already limited resources and development through recurring droughts, flash floods and prolonged dry spells. Most of the population is typically affected by a sequence of shocks that pose significant challenges to livelihood security. The project will enhance resilience of vulnerable populations by implementing climate-smart technologies for water supply, strengthening capacity to implement and monitor climate-resilient WASH programming, and enhance climate shocks capacity through ecosystem restoration and conservation. UNICEF's Social and Environmental Standards and Procedures will be used to manage any environmental and social risks.
