    Labor Market Assessment Graduating to Resilience October 2018 “This publication is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the Office of Food for Peace, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under terms of Cooperative Agreement No. AID-FFP-A-17-00006. The contents are the responsibility of AVSI Foundation and Graduating to Resilience and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government.” Graduating to Resilience is implemented by AVSI Foundation in partnership with 2 Executive Summary Launched in October 2017, the Graduating to Resilience Activity (the Activity) aims to help extremely poor Ugandan and refugee households in Kamwenge, Uganda, graduate from conditions of food insecurity and fragile livelihoods to self-reliance and resilience. This Activity is being jointly implemented by the AVSI consortium (or team) consisting of the AVSI Foundation, IMPAQ International, and Trickle Up. To understand the current challenges and opportunities faced by Ugandan and refugee communities in pursuing meaningful livelihoods, the AVSI team conducted a labor market assessment (LMA). The purpose of the LMA was to: understand current livelihoods of Ugandans and refugee households living in Kamwege; identify avenues to strengthen current livelihoods for poor and ultra-poor households; and find ways to connect these households to other viable livelihoods that they could pursue with the Activity’s support. The key lessons learned from the LMA will contribute to the design and content of the interventions implemented under the Activity. To implement the LMA, we used a mixed methods approach to triangulate quantitative and qualitative evidence to examine the current state of the labor market among both Ugandan and refugee communities.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Water resources of a country constitute one of its vital assets that significantly contribute to the socio-economic development and poverty eradication. However, this resource is unevenly distri- buted in both time and space. The major source of water for these resources is direct rainfall, which is recently experiencing variability that threatens the distribution of resources and water availability in Uganda. The annual rainfall received in Uganda varies from 500 mm to 2800 mm, with an average of 1180 mm received in two main seasons. The spatial distribution of rainfall has resulted into a network of great rivers and lakes that possess big potential for development. These resources are being developed and depleted at a fast rate, a situation that requires assessment to establish present status of water resources in the country. The paper reviews the characteristics, availability, demand and importance of present day water resources in Uganda as well as describ- ing the various issues, challenges and management of water resources of the country.

  • Proposal for Uganda
    AFB.PPRC.27-28.2 AFB/PPRC.26-27/2 21 June 2021 Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee PROPOSAL FOR UGANDA AFB/PPRC.27-28/2 Background 1. The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully-developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval. 2. The Templates approved by the Board (Annex 5 of the OPG, as amended in March 2016) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states: For regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process.
