Uganda Investing in Forests and Protected Areas for Climate-Smart Development Project

The development objective of Investing in Forests and Protected Areas for Climate-Smart Development Project for Uganda is to improve sustainable management of forests and protected areas and increase benefits to communities from forests in target landscapes. This project has four components. 1) The first component, Improved Management of Protected Areas (PAs), will focus on improving management of government-managed forest and wildlife PAs to ensure they can continue to generate revenues and provide important environmental services. 2) The second component, will increase revenues and jobs from these forest and wildlife PAs through targeted investments in tourism and productive forests. 3) The third component, Improved Landscape Management in Refugee Hosting Areas, will encourage establishment of greater tree cover in refugee-hosting landscapes on host community land outside PAs, supporting sustainable forest management and landscape resilience on private and customary land. 4) Project Management and Monitoring, will support overall project management and monitoring.
