- The Government of the Republic of Uganda has received financing from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) toward the cost of the “Strengthening the Adaptive Capacity and Resilience of Communities in Uganda’s watersheds” project and intends to apply part of the agreed amount for this loan/grant to payments under the contract to hire a consulting firm to produce GEF and AfDB Board Project documents for the “Strengthening the Adaptive Capacity and Resilience of Communities in Uganda’s watersheds” project.
