Natural resource and climate change management are critical to the reduction of disasters, achievement of increased household incomes and improvement of quality of life of the population. Agenda 2030 (SDG 12, 13, 14 and 15) sets targets for combating the effects of climate change and sustainable management of water resources, land, terrestrial ecosystems, forests and the environment.  Goal 7 of Africa Agenda 2063 calls for putting in place measures to sustainably manage the continent’s rich biodiversity, forests, land and waters and using mainly adaptive measures to address climate change risks. The strategic focus of NGS in this programme will be to contribute towards reduction of  environmental degradation and mitigation of the adverse effects of climate change for sustainable economic growth and livelihood security in Northern Uganda.
