Resumen

The National Adaptation Plan for the Agriculture Sector (NAP-Ag) contributes to the second National Development Plan (NDP II) priority of strengthening ecologically sound agricultural research and climate change resilient technologies and practices. Uganda has set the agricultural sector as a priority for the achievement of Uganda’s development targets as reflected in the National Vision 2040 and the global commitments in Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the National Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. The overall goal of the NAP-Ag is to increase resilience of the Agricultural Sector to the impacts of climate change, through coordinated interventions that enhance sustainable agriculture, food and nutritional security, livelihood improvement and sustainable development. The plan covers national circumstances, climate change impacts and vulnerability analysis, policy and institutional framework, adaptation actions, coordination and implementation arrangements, monitoring, reporting and evaluation as well as financing and resource mobilization. The following objectives are hereby pursued: 1) Promote climate resilient cropping systems and value chains 2) Promote climate resilient livestock production systems and value chains 3) Promote climate resilient fisheries and integrated fisheries resource management 4) Strengthen climate information, early warning and disaster preparedness mechanism for a better informed agricultural planning and decision making 5) Promote sustainable natural resources management that enhances the resilience of agriculture and agrarian communities to a changing climate 6) Promote climate smart agricultural research and innovations 7) To enhance knowledge of good practices and partnerships to reduce vulnerability of the agricultural sector to the impacts of climate change 8) Promote a gendered climate smart agriculture programme to reduce the vulnerability of women, youth and other groups This plan was prepared with the technical assistance of FAO and UNDP.
