------- Government of Uganda and UNDP host High Level Dialogue on Biodiversity Financing in Uganda -------
The BIOFIN project seeks to address the biodiversity finance challenge in a comprehensive and systematic manner with an aim of enabling government to construct a sound business case for increasing investment in the sustainable and equitable management, protection, and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
One of the biggest challenges in Agriculture is weather. Uganda has experience epidemics in the last 5 years; it is safe to predict that every five years we have a disaster of some kind. Some of these are attributed to our usage of natural resources including land, vegetation and water resources. Central in the management of these resources is NEMA - National Environment Management Authority. NEMA is mandated to conserve biodiversity in Uganda; something which remains key for inclusive development as Uganda.
Tomorrow Tuesday May 30th, 2017 at Serena Hotel in Kampala, NEMA with UNDP Uganda will host a discussion themed “Catalyzing increased financing for Biodiversity conservation in Uganda”.
