Message from the Chairperson- Board of Advisors The 2016 annual report under the theme 'Enhancing community resilience' condenses our activities during

the calendar year 2016.

Thinking global while acting local remains EMLI’s key underlying principle in all our interventions. From

influencing global policy at the United Nations headquarters to piloting livelihood interventions in Kikyusa and

Najjembe sub-counties in Luweero and Buikwe districts respectively.

While 2016 has been a challenging year with the general elections shadowing business and activities, EMLI

has demonstrated commitment to realizing her vision. From laying a successful campaign to save Nyimbwa

forest reserve, fervently protesting the proposed giveaway of Ssezibwa wetland, promoting green schools

that undertake agri-business livelihood interventions. I am momentously honoured to associate with like-

minded people working to save natural ecosystem degradation and loss with the passion to improve

livelihoods.

I am pleased to note that the secretariat has continued to align all interventions to the core programmes as

guided by the strategy although funding shortfalls and limited staff capacity continue to hinder progress.

I am certain that our legacy will prevail to enable EMLI reach greater frontiers. It has been an honour and

pleasure working with you to empower communities to promote sustainable development.

Prof. J.R.S Kaboggoza

Message from the Executive Director

The year 2016 has been both remarkable and challenging. Remarkable in a sense that 2016 marked the

entry into force of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, voluntary national reviews of implementation of

the Agenda 2030, approval of EMLI quadrennial report by United Nations Economic and Social Council,

successful accreditation to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and

supporting Government of Uganda to receive USD 24.1 million for Building Resilient Communities, Wetlands

Ecosystems and Associated Catchments from Green Climate Fund.

Challenging, in a way that we performed far below our projected budget, by only realizing approx. 49

percent of the required funds. We also failed to achieve our indicative indicator targets under key core

programmes such as chemicals and waste, climate change and livelihood. However, this annual report

highlights the achievements realized amidst the aforementioned challenges. Now that our draft resource

mobilization strategy with a funding target of USD 200,000 per year is gaining traction, the pathway to

sustainable financing is promising and relatively more reliable.

Our new partnership with Open Society Initiative for Eastern Africa (OSIEA) creates a window of opportunity

for sustaining our public policy influence and strengthening of our environmental governance programme. In

2016, we convened a dialogue for pastoral communities which recommended their constructive engagement

in NDP II review cycles.

I am indebted to our Donors and Partners for the continued financial support and EMLI family for working to achieve our vision of an empowered healthy and self-sustaining community focusing on sustainable

development.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The report presents achievements and activities implemented from January to December 2016 with

partners to empower communities achieve sustainable development. This year’s annual report is

under the theme ‘enhancing community resilience’.

Despite efforts to decouple economic growth from natural ecosystem degradation, 2016 has witnessed

minimal incidences of degradation though at a high impact.

Our work continues to be challenged by the socio-economic political issues coupled by reduced donor

funding, limiting the realization of our vision of an empowered health and self-sustaining community

focusing on sustainable development. We have fallen way below our fundraising target for 2016, with

approx. 49 percent budget performance mobilizing total income of UGX 304,702,248.

Through our community centered approach, we have supported vulnerable communities in Luweero

and Buikwe district to improve their livelihoods, address extreme weather shocks and raised voices of

pastoral communities in context of enhanced adaptation to climate change. We have supported

interventions aimed at enhancing community resilience and will endeavor to scale –up and replicate

some of them.

Our collaborative engagement strategy has brokered new partnerships and alliances to catalyze

delivery of action. Our membership to the National Climate Change Advisory Committee has broaden

non-state actor engagement in both the pilot program on climate resilience and forest investment

program thus triggering stakeholder consultations and engagements. In addition, our collaboration

with Ministry of Water and Environment, Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development and

National Planning Authority has advanced inclusive stakeholder inputs in the draft Green Growth

Development Strategy.

We accelerated our global and regional policy influence through participation at the sixth special

session of the African Ministerial Conference on Environment in Cairo, Global Environment Facility

Council Meetings in Washington DC, IUCN World Conservation Congress in Hawaii, United Nations

informal consultative process on Oceans and Law of the Sea in New York and twenty second session

of the Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC in Marrakech. Our quadrennial report to United Nations

Economic and Social Council was taken note of. We became accredited to the United Nations

Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) at its fourteenth session in Nairobi hence promoting

EMLI legitimacy platform to influence environment and development issues.

The Chemicals and Waste programme continues to lag behind with only 2 activities executed in 2016

while climate change programme excelled followed by ecosystems & environment management, then

livelihood programme followed by environmental governance programme.

This year, our communication and documentation mechanism has demonstrated the smooth transition

to our prospective practice of becoming paperless. Through our open communication learning and

sharing web based tools, we have reached more than 50,000 people.

We have completed the planning process to celebrate 10 years of service in improving livelihoods

through promoting sustainable use and management of natural ecosystem. Consequently a number of

activities will be held in 2017 including the flagging off our fellows programme aimed at assisting

young people acquaint and broaden professional knowledge and experience in a working environment

CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAMME Climate change continues to be the greatest challenge affecting humanity, ecosystem,

sustainability and livelihoods. EMLI Climate Change programme aims at reducing vulnerability and

building resilience to impacts of climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and

enhancing access to climate finance.

In 2016, EMLI continued to work with her partners to build resilience and enhance adaptation to

climate change. The following are some of the interventions done in 2016.

Influencing the national climate change regulatory framework for Uganda

Building on the briefing paper ‘shaping national climate change legislation in Uganda’ which

demonstrated the importance of national legislation to foster implementation of the UNFCCC,

Kyoto Protocol and the national climate change policy, EMLI developed an occasional paper on

elements of the climate change law in Uganda that enriched the discussions on form and

format of the prospective climate change law. Ministry of Water and Environment particularly the

Climate Change Department based on this paper to develop principles of the regulatory

framework.

Advancing the climate change bill formulation process

As a way of reflecting and informing the climate change bill formulation process in context of the

Paris Agreement, EMLI and partners under the climate change learning alliance such as IITA,

UNFFE and Action Aid Uganda organized a break-fast strategic meeting on the climate change bill

for Uganda to build momentum for climate change legislation in Uganda on 2 September 2016 at

Hotel Africana which attracted a total of 76 participants.

Key recommendations

Contribution to the formulation of the National Adaptation Plan

EMLI developed a NAP technical note to guide the development process of the National

Adaptation Plan for Uganda. The Technical note recommended inter alia, the need for an overall

national adaptation framework guiding formulation of sectoral adaptation plans, undertake

comprehensive national climate vulnerability assessment, and undertake low-regret adaptation

options in the medium term and no regret options in the long term. The ministry of water and

environment used it as a reference for the development of terms of reference to develop the NAP

framework.

There is need to:

review the existing sector gaps to avoid duplication of efforts and coordination of climate change

adaptation actions should be at local level

focus on local financing mechanisms and work together to close the funding limitation and gap

consolidate the Paris Agreement implications and harmonize the existing legislation to support

the implementation of climate change actions.

Outcomes

1 documentary was show cased on community adaptation to climate change

500 copies of NAPA evaluation study report and 100 summary copies were

disseminated

1 video on Climate change effects in Uganda was shared on YouTube urging the

government to increase investment in climate change adaptation and mitigation

Held a media briefing

Voicing non-state actors issues in national climate change committees

EMLI represented CSOs at the various climate change committees including the project

development and the national climate change advisory committee.

Some of the processes are envisaged to help Uganda tap into global climate change funding

windows through drafting bankable projects.

Supporting the COP 22 civil society process

In partnership with Action Aid Uganda, ACODE, ACTADE, EA, EMLI, IUCN and WWF under the

auspices of CAN-U and ENRCSO network, a civil society preparatory workshop on COP 22 was

organized at Hotel Africana Kampala attracting 63 participants to promote dialogue among

negotiators and civil society on how to shape negotiations during COP 22 in the interest of

Uganda. The workshop generated key messages and framed them into a position paper that

informed the government negotiating position during COP 22. This was presented at the national

pre COP 22 meeting, where the government took note of the CSO position paper for further

action.

Awareness raising and capacity building on climate change

On 9 February 2016, EMLI, under the Consortium of non-party stakeholders of CAN-U and

ENRCSO networks through partners such as Action Aid Uganda (AAU), IUCN, EA, OXFAM, ACODE

in collaboration with Ministry of Water and Environment-Climate Change Department convened

approximately 204 participants for Post COP 21 Forum and NAPA evaluation study launch to share

outcomes of the COP and discuss implications of the 2015 Paris climate change agreement to

Uganda.

For effective implementation of the Paris Agreement the following recommendations were made:

need to establish a climate change trust fund, build the capacity of the various stakeholders, build

supporting institutions to ensure sustainability and pioneer the mobilization of internal resources.

EMLI in partnership with Action Aid and ACODE organized the National adaptation planning

dialogue at Imperial Royale Hotel. Members discussed the effective measures that can help

Uganda to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and access climate financing. The need

to strengthen inter-sectoral coordination through strengthening and facilitating the available

structures and platforms i.e. the national climate change advisory committee, thematic negotiating

groups and the climate change learning alliance; need to ensure multi stake holder engagement,

openness and transparency were some of the recommendations made.

Understanding the country allocation share for Uganda under SGP-GEF operational phase 6

EMLI being the GEF Regional Focal Point for Eastern Africa and the need to tap into other climate

change funding sources, worked closely with MoFPED to coordinate the GEF-SGP briefing meeting

for operational phase 6, the first of its kind to dialogue with CSOs. At least 50 participants were

convened from 15-17th May 2016 at Sunset Hotel Jinja. The meeting urged The Ministry of Finance

Planning and Economic Development to organize more foras on how to help CBOs/NGOs tap into

other windows of climate change finances so as to strengthen climate change mainstreaming into

development planning processes

Promoting multi-stakeholder adaptive learning and sharing

With support from IITA, EMLI continued to coordinate the climate change learning alliance

through the policy awareness and engagement working groups to build members capacity on

climate change adaptation and other related issues. 3 meetings were conducted under the PACCA

project including the capacity building workshop on climate resilience held at City Royal Resort on

3rd/08/2016; understanding the state of agriculture in the Climate change negotiations under the

UNFCCC held on 25th/08/2016 at Kolping Hotel in Kampala, and advancing gender responsiveness

to climate change adaptation held on 29th/08/2016 at the parliamentary conference. A total of 105

members’ capacity was built in climate change adaptation and related issues. Some of the

members have used the knowledge acquired to influence policies at various levels and also

develop fundable projects in that regard. From those meetings the climate change department has

used the recommendations to develop the strategic programme for climate resilience for Uganda.

Promoting community based adaptation initiatives in Luweero district

EMLI and her partners i.e. Environmental Alert, VEDCO, KULIKA Uganda, ARUWE and RUCID

through the auspices of the ENRCSO network strengthened the institutional capacity of District

Local Government and NGOs to promote community based adaptation in Kikyusa and Kamira Sub

Counties.

Various interventions such as awareness raising meetings, learning exposure visits, radio talk

shows and infomercials were undertaken to promote adaptation approaches practiced by

communities in Kikyusa and Kamira Sub Counties.

Effective community based adaptation

practices to climate change promoted

included inter-alia mulching; digging

trenches; planting shade trees; good

fertilizer management and application;

irrigation; compost making; a forestation

and early planting etc. 104 trees were

planted in Luweero district. 49 Peoples’

knowledge was increased on community

based adaptation approaches in Luweero

district especially community adaptation to

droughtFigure showing tree seedlings in the nursery bed by one of EMLI's partners in Kikyusa

ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE PROGRAMME EMLI Environmental governance programme aims at promoting and supporting the environmental

basis for sustainable development. Through initiatives such as promoting public policy dialogues

on environment and natural resources, a number of reforms in Laws and Policies relating to

environment and natural resources have been triggered.

Contributing to the review process of the National Environment Act (NEA)

EMLI has been engaging in the review process of the NEA representing the diverse civil society

organizations in the various interventions at national, sub national and community levels. In this

regard, several NGOs were engaged in the process where they made recommendations for

improvement of the Act.

As a way to reflect on the extent to which CSOs earlier proposals and submissions were captured

in the draft National Environment Act, EMLI in collaboration with AAU and ACODE convened

selected CSOs to scrutinize and provide input to the Act on February 05, 2016 at ACODE

Secretariat. Members made proposals on the various sections and provisions for improvement of

the Act. Such included the need to maintain the National Environment Fund (NEF) as the general

fund with supervision of other related funds.

Furthermore, EMLI participated

at the final review of the National

Environment Act organized by

NEMA in conjunction with

Ministry of Justice at Ridar Hotel

Seeta from February 9-11, 2016.

The meeting recommended that

oil and gas regulations be

incorporated in the national

nvironment act.

Influencing global meetings on environmental governance

EMLI participated at the sixth special session of AMCEN aimed at developing declaration, decisions

and key messages to address the environmental dimension of agenda 2063, 2030 agenda for

sustainable development and the Paris agreement on climate change, . In addition, EMLI

Executive Director represented CSOs at the 2016 IUCN World conservation Congress in Hawaii,

USA from 1-10 September, under the theme “Planet at the Crossroads”. The Congress aimed

at improving natural environment management for human, social and economic development

which cannot be achieved by conservationists alone.

The African common strategy and Brazzaville declaration were endorsed to support the strategy

and facilitate implementation of the action plan and civil society views. The congress provided a

platform for EMLI to share its good practices on ECO schools initiative that integrates children and

environmental conservation. EMLI was able to block new partnerships.

Raising voices for pastoral communities

EMLI with support from OSIEA enhanced

pastoral communities’ adaptive capacity to

climate change, during a forum organized in

Mbale from 11-13 December 2016. The forum

provided a platform for agriculture, climate

change and natural resources policy makers and

pastoral communities to discuss the effective

adaptive measures for enhanced capacity of

pastoral communities to climate shocks.

The recommendations from the forum included

the need to; form a policy advocacy group for

engagement on issues of pastoralists with policy

makers with focus on NDPII based on the

existing structure under NDP review; engage

with UWA in case of national parks and

boundaries with regard to forest related issues, National Forestry Authority (NFA) and forest sector

support department (FSSD) whereas engaging ministry of energy and mineral development on

mining issues. On the critical emerging issue of the Turkana, the forum recommended that

Uganda and Kenya governments should intervene and agree on responsibilities. The pastoral

policy advocacy group was formed as a platform to represent pastoralists in the various

government processes and engagements. This is envisaged to advance some of the

recommendations made at the forum.

ECOSYSTEMS AND ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME The EMLI Ecosystems and Environment

programme aims at empowering

communities to sustainably manage their

environment and natural ecosystems

through initiatives such as restoration of

degraded ecosystems (especially

wetlands). This has given communities

hope to wisely and judiciously utilize their

ecosystems while conserving them for

future use and posterity. Our commitment

under this Programme focused on

involvement of communities in sustainable management of natural resources through improved

community engagement in natural resources management.

Deepening eco-schools schools

Environmental management and protection majorly centers on developing a harmonious

relationship between people and the natural environment in which they live. This is done through

providing environmental education that fosters and develops the capability to analyze, understand,

manage and improve the relationship among people, ecosystems and natural resources.

Through the eco-schools program, EMLI with support from GGF established 3 school

environmental clubs so as to promote environment management and education in Heritage,

Kikube and Nkoyoyo primary schools of Buikwe district. The Clubs are anticipated to play the

advocacy role on environmental management related activities in the school and the adjacent

communities. A total number of 150 pupils participated in the environmental clubs.

“The pressure on forests for fuel wood has been reduced due to the installation of the efficient energy cook stove in our school; we now use less wood fuel of 3 trips from the 5 trips, saving a total amount of UGX 60,000 per week”.

Raising awareness on the World Environment Day celebrations

World Environment Day is a United Nations

initiative to raise world-wide awareness and action

for the protection of our environment. The national

celebrations were held on 6 June 2016 in Gulu.

EMLI and partners i.e. UDYNET and Buikwe district

natural resources offices celebrated the world

environment day in Buikwe district on 21st June

2016 to raise awareness on environmental

management and sensitize community members and

schools on the need for environmental management. Activities such as; tree planting, exhibition

of renewable energy technologies and school competitions through songs and poems from the

school environmental clubs were done. Selected schools; Nkoyoyo and Heritage primary schools

shared their experience on the use of the renewable energy technologies.

In such a way to encourage schools to participate in environmental management related activities,

EMLI awarded Kikube primary school that emerged best with a goat and donated 30 fruit tree

seedlings to the 3 participating schools. Tree planting, use of efficient energy cook stoves and

capacity building of children were promoted for proper environment management. The LC.V

Councilor used the ceremony to inform community members about the availability of tree

seedlings at the district.

Radio talk show on environmental management

On 21st December 2016, EMLI was hosted on 107.5, Inner man FM to raise awareness on

environmental management and governance. Issues like greening the economy as a model in

attaining sustainable growth and development were discussed in addition to poor governance and

non- compliance with environmental laws by the communities. One of the listeners requested

EMLI to provide more information and training models about briquettes making and how to access

the briquette making machines.

CHEMICALS AND WASTE PROGRAMME The economy of Uganda is growing at a very fast rate with inefficient methods of production.

Quantities of chemicals are imported for use in agriculture, forestry, veterinary, health and mining.

The chain of importation involves transportation, storage, use and disposal. Such activities have

been reported to be done with limited technical knowledge, skills and equipment thus exposing

the public to a number of risks and hazards which compromises public health and environment.

EMLI Chemicals and Waste programme aims at increasing capacity to environmentally sound

management of chemicals and hazardous waste.

In 2016 plan of work, EMLI committed to raise awareness on Chemicals through public awareness

on radio talk shows, public seminars and Information Education and Communication materials.

The following interventions were undertaken in that regard.

Nasana Town Council promotes living in a clean environment

EMLI supported a local partner Brighton cares

Uganda during an environmental cleaning exercise

in Nansana Town Council to demonstrate and

sensitise the community about proper waste

management. During the event, Garbage was

collected and properly disposed, communities were

sensitised about the dangers of poor waste

management and how to maintain living in a clean

environment.

To keep on track with the environment issues EMLI

advised the community to revitalize the local

environmental committees and urged Nansana

Town Council to support the committees. EMLI also

recommended for establishment of an

environmental club in Kazo mixed primary school to

nurture students who are environmentally

conscious.

LIVELIHOOD PROGRAMME EMLI Livelihood Programme aims at harnessing natural capital for improved human well-being

through providing long term context-specific solutions to local communities that will improve

health, food and nutrition security and increase income. This was implemented through the

following interventions.

Promoting the saving culture and agribusiness

EMLI with support from the GGF supported Uganda Youth at Risk Development Network

(UYDNET) to establish a saving scheme for the briquette making groups in Buikwe. The groups

opened up a joint bank account under the names of UYDNET briquette making project. The saving

scheme formation emerged as a need to strengthen the operations of the briquette making project

to enable the community members acquire skills and know how in briquette production while

developing a saving culture and accessing loans for alternative viable livelihood initiatives. The

group members identified some agri-business initiatives for example poultry keeping as an

alternative source of income generating activity

to supplement their savings due to the

availability of feeds, market in the area,

relatively cheap labour, minimal risks and less

capital needed to venture into such business.

The Village Saving and Loans Association

(VSLA) initiative capacitated community

members trained in briquette making in areas

of Kizigo and Najjembe parishes. It is envisaged

that VSLA will grow in size to allow other

community members join and practice the

saving culture. The livelihood of 55 members has been improved through the saving scheme and

agri-business enterprise in Buikwe.
