LAUNCHED!

Pound for pound on #ClimateFinanceUG finance mobilisation, Uganda still falls behind Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda but is ahead of Burundi and South Sudan in the EAC.
This pie chart makes its easily visible
Increasingly, year on year, more of the #ClimateFinanceUG money is coming as debt instruments. Given our debt position and our climate risk position, a case could be made to shift to grants over debt.
That said, outside of government financing, the sources of #ClimateFinanceUG remain the usual suspects 👇🏽👇🏽
While the total number of projects being implemented is going up, the total amount of #ClimatefinanceUG is going down. See the two images for comparison
Uganda has so far spent more than $2.2bn in #ClimateFinanceUG going to more than 1500 projects [OECD figures]
Our climate finance inflows now average about $350mn (could be more of our parliament didn’t dagger our public finance position with their terrible laws)
I think the first part of any #ClimateFinanceUG conversation is to ask; why should you care?
More than half of tax revenue is from agric,Ug has one of the most unique climate features globally & stands to be greatly affected by climate change & your food, tea & life depend on it
I was invited to the dissemination of findings on #climatefinanceUG by @OxfaminUganda
It’s an interesting 100 page report on the inflows of climate finance and where it has been spent.
