Partners for Resilience Uganda Some areas in Uganda frequently experience flooding and drought. Environmental protection needs to be enhanced. The PfR SP Program 2016-2020 strengthens Uganda’s civil society and the Ministries in Integrated Risk Management, especially in policy development and dialogue around policies, investments and practices. This leads to a stronger and sustainable enabling environment for resilience building. This project aims to integrate IRM principles in policy frameworks, investments and programs. This will ensure that the needs of the most vulnerable groups are included in decision making, budget allocation and  implementation of plans re. IRM at the local level. This will contribute towards strengthening communities’ capacities to cope with hazards, to mitigate the effects of disasters experienced and to adapt to changing conditions. Vulnerable people in Uganda will become more resilient to crises in the face of climate change and environmental degradation, enabling sustainable inclusive economic growth. The target groups of the PfR SP program differ per thematic domain. The program directly targets key policy makers, such as national Members of Parliament, different ministerial offices at various levels, NGOs, CSO groups including networks and forums, Multilateral Financial Institutions, local community, private sector and Uganda Manufacturers Association. Indirect beneficiaries are vulnerable small holder farmers located in hazard prone areas in the country.
