VIDEO | Water at the Heart of Climate Action in Uganda

Water at the Heart of Climate Action (WHCA) is helping countries in the Nile Basin to increase climate resilience and reduce vulnerability to water-related risks. In Uganda, WHCA supports national and local institutions to enhance early warning systems and improve coordination across sectors. Activities include strengthening data collection, forecasting capacity, and community engagement to ensure early warnings reach the last mile. The programme prioritizes locally led action, with Ugandan organizations driving the design and implementation of solutions. WHCA also works to integrate water management into climate adaptation strategies, helping communities anticipate and respond to risks before they escalate.
