Climate-smart agriculture, as defined and presented by FAO at the Hague Conference on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change in 2010, contributes to the achievement of sustainable development goals. It integrates the three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental) by jointly addressing food security and climate challenges. CSA is composed of three main pillars – sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes; adapting and building resilience to climate change; and reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, where possible. This study was commissioned by the FAO Sub-regional Office for Eastern Africa under the auspices of the project “FAO Technical Support to the COMESA-EAC-SADC Programme on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in Eastern and Southern Africa (OSRO/RAF/307/COM)”. The study had the major objective of identifying and documenting CSA initiatives, technologies, practices and stakeholders in the Eastern African Sub-region with a special focus on Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda, so as to produce a report that would enable stakeholders to understand the opportunities and constraints associated with adopting particular CSA technologies and practices, the scale of CSA adoption and the drivers and bottlenecks to CSA adoption in the sub-region as stipulated in the terms of reference. There is opportunity to use this information to inform agricultural related policies, programmes and projects in the sub-region with the aim of sustainably increasing agricultural production and productivity; building resilience to climate-related hazards; and contributing to climate change mitigation. ETHIOPIA, KENYA AND UGANDA | v ACKNOWledgements The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) acknowledges the support of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) through the project “FAO Technical Support to the COMESA- EAC-SADC Programme on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in the Eastern and Southern African Region (OSRO/RAF/307/COM)”, which has enabled this study and is providing support to other activities promoting the scale up and scale out of conservation agriculture and other climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices in Eastern and Southern Africa. This report has been prepared by Esther Njeru, working as an independent consultant for FAO in conjunction with Edward Kilawe and Sebastian Grey of the FAO Sub-regional Office for Eastern Africa (FAOSFE). Acknowledgement is given to Amare Mengiste of FAO Ethiopia (FAOET), Wilson Ronno and Barrack Okoba of FAO Kenya (FAOKE) and Martin Ameu of FAO Uganda (FAOUG), the FAO national focal persons on CSA who assisted in organizing various aspects of the study in their respective countries. The FAO also expresses its gratitude and appreciation to all the respondents in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda for their invaluable contributions towards the realization of this study. The authors express their gratitude to Mitzi du Plessis for managing the editing, design and layout of the publication in collaboration with graphic designer Elke Momberg. ©FAO vi | EASTERN AFRICA CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE SCOPING STUDY ABBREViations/acronyms ACT African Conservation Tillage

Indeed, decentralisation aimed at empowering people to make their own lawful decisions, attain equitable distribution of resources among and within Local Governments; and ensure improved service delivery by minimising centralisation of decision-making by the Central Government. Decentralisation also empowers Local Governments to generate local revenue through improved local tax collection and making political leaders and civil servants more accountable to the population.

It incorporates all views and ideas from all our stakeholders ie. Central government, the District, Civil Society Organisations, NGOs, the private sector etc. This Plan Highlights Councils endeavors and commitment towards the Mission and Vision it set out.Council has also budgeted for operation and maintenance of all council assets to provide sustainability of its undertakings. As the political head of this institution iam delighted that this development Plan has evolved through a participatory consultative process which started with village priority setting meetings, followed by parish level prioritization, Plan/ Budget Conference and through the relevant planning organs. It is therefore my belief that we all own the outcomes of the process which have been reflected in this document as projects and programmes for implementation. Satisfactory provision of the services requires the support of all stakeholders mentioned above.

    CHAPTER 10 NATURAL AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES The Feasibility Study on the Construction of JICA / MOWT / UNRA A New Bridge across River Nile at Jinja Oriental Consultants Co., Ltd. Final Report Eight - Japan Engineering Consultants INC. 10. NATURAL AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 10.1 Natural Environmental Study 10.1.1 General This Chapter summarizes the initial environmental examination (IEE) for the engineering options (i.e., three route alternatives, named Routes A, B and C, respectively), regarding the study on natural environment, and potential environmental issues associated with the implementation of each alternative option. Firstly, the current baseline of the environmental condition surrounding the study site is described. The study area is located between Lake Victoria and the on-going construction site in Bujagali Dam, so that the current local environmental topics, linking both sites, were also studied. Technical site inspections were carried out in November and December 2008 and February and March 2009. Based on the major findings obtained from the technical site inspections and the review of available reports, the baseline environmental information, regarding the natural environment surrounding the study area, was collected. Based on the baseline environmental information and the engineering features of each alternatives, prepared by the study, the IEE was carried out. Basically, the IEE was carried out in two steps. In the first step, a preliminary IEE for two scenarios was carried out: (i) Do - Nothing scenario, and (ii) Do – Project scenario for all prepared route alternatives (i.e., Routes A, B and C); for which preliminary scenarios analysis was conducted. In the second step, a more detailed, route-specific IEE was carried out using more specific engineering information prepared in March 2009, and possible adverse environmental impacts that may occur during and/after the construction of works for each alternative alignment option was summarized.
