The enumeration for the 2014 Census was conducted in August/September 2014. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) worked closely with different Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as Local Governments (LGs) to undertake the census exercise.

The project aims to strengthen resilience of approximately half a million vulnerable people to the impacts of climate change, through adaptation technology transfer (strategic objective 1) and climate mainstreaming (strategic objective 2). This project has four components, namely: 1) Climate resilient infrastructure implemented for enhanced livelihoods, 2) Strengthened capacity of communities and institutions for climate resilient planning in four watersheds, 3) Climate information integrated into development plans & early warning systems, and 4) Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) and Adaptation Learning. The project will be implemented in the sub-catchments of Komirya, Sironko, Simu-sisi, Muyembe and Sipi (in the districts of Bukedea, Sironko, Bulambuli and Kapchorwa) within the Awoja catchment. The purpose of this ESMF is to set out a unified process for assessing and managing all environmental and social safeguard issues for subprojects from preparation, through appraisal and approval, to implementation. The ESMF gives information on how to address adverse environmental and social impacts of components of the project and will be applied in sub-projects.
