The FAO has received funding from the European Union to implement the second phase of the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) Project in Uganda.

“It seeks to contribute to making rural households, particularly in Uganda’s cattle corridor, more resilient to climate change effects and food insecurity by promoting sustainable and gender transformation actions,” said Ayebazibwe Agatha, FAO’s Communications Officer.

This new phase of the Project- GCCA+ dubbed Scaling up agricultural adaptation to climate change in Uganda seeks to contribute to making rural households, particularly in Uganda’s cattle corridor, more resilient to climate change effects and food insecurity by promoting sustainable and gender transformation actions.

The project will be implemented in nine districts in the Central Cattle Corridor; six from the first phase- Sembabule, Kiboga, Mubende, Luwero, Nakaseke and Nakasongola and three new districts- Lyantonde, Gomba and Kalungu. The GCCA+ Project comes at a time when GCCA+ aims to:

  • Improve knowledge and capacity of relevant institutions, in gender-responsive climate change adaptation and mitigation.
  • Foster gender responsiveness in household income generation and climate resilient livelihood capacities
  • Enhance ecosystems adaptive and mitigation capacities.
