Uganda

SDSN Uganda works closely with the SDGs Secretariat of the Uganda government, hosted in the office of the Prime Minister. The network participates in the SDG Coordination meetings and supports the government's Voluntary National Review (VNR) stakeholder engagement processes.

In partnership with FAO, Makerere University is supporting climate change knowledge management. Its aim is to build the capacity of Uganda's Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry (MAAIF), Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) and 19 district local governments to generate and disseminate information and knowledge on climate risks and emerging adaptation options, as well as sharing best practices at district and national levels. It has developed the Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Base (CCAKB) and established Knowledge Management and Communication Team (KMCTs) in 19 districts, and trained over 100 participants in knowledge management.

SDSN Uganda focuses on SDG 3 (good health and well-being), and SDG 13 (climate action). In collaboration with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Makerere University School of Public Health, SDSN Uganda is implementing a research project titled "Building Partnerships for Resilience: Strengthening Responses to Health Shocks from the Grassroots," aimed at developing and strengthening international partnerships to conduct research to inform policy and practice that improves effective community-led responses to public-health crises.

SDSN Uganda supports the incorporation of the SDGs in teaching, learning, and research in network universities. SDSN Uganda is preparing the Makerere University Sustainable Development Report (SDR) 2024 to document sustainability in teaching and learning and the university's contribution to achieving the SDGs.
