Scaling Inclusive Climate Change Policy Reforms for Low carbon Transition in Uganda
REFNo: NS1199ES

Main Objective 1. General objective: to unlock opportunities for inclusive financing that supports low-carbon development across sectors in Kenya and Uganda, through actionable evidence, scalable financing models, and strengthened institutional and community capacities. Specific Objectives 1. ?To map the climate finance value chain, identifying key actors, policies, fiscal tools, and institutional frameworks, and assess how effectively they address the needs of smallholder farmers, women, youth, and marginalized groups. 2. ?To analyse how public finance can catalyse private investment for mitigation by identifying effective mechanisms, and assessing the barriers and enablers to private-sector participation. 3. To co-design and test a scalable and context-responsive financing model that equitably channels climate finance to marginalised groups, with embedded strategies for policy uptake and replication. 4. To strengthen institutional capacities to identify and develop inclusive low-carbon development strategies across key sectors, particularly smallholder agriculture and decentralized renewable energy.
