FOREWORD
The Parliament of Uganda has always addressed climate Change using a multi sectoral and multidisciplinary approach. Whereas Uganda has had considerable damage, disruption of economic activity and claimed lives due to Climate change related hazards such as droughts, floods, storms and landslides, we can by proactive planning reduce the vulnerability of Ugandans to the effects of climate change and variability. Since climate Change affects all sectors in Uganda, there is need for mainstreaming climate change management into the development mainstream owing to the effect relationship between climate Change and development. As Development programs are trying to mainstream climate change in the planning process while taking into account adaptation and mitigation actions, policy makers (MPs) world over have been identified as key actors for promoting innovations amongst their constituencies including provision of an enabling policy environment, oversight and representation.
Parliament already realized the importance of factoring climate Change management into all its frameworks depicted in many interventions one of which is the establishment of the Natural Resources Committee one of the Sessional Committees of Parliament. In addition, the Parliamentary Forum on Climate Change-Uganda (PFCC-U) was formed in 2008 and has over 200MPs who subscribe to it with a goal of ensuring effectiveness in policies and actions for harmonized and coordinated approaches towards climate change resilience and sustainable development in Uganda. PFCC-U takes
cognizance of the roles of parliamentarians as a mechanism for mainstreaming climate change concerns into the national and global development frameworks such as the National Development Plan (NDP), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the Green Growth Strategy (GGS).
As the Speaker of Parliament and Patron of the Forum on Climate Change, I thank all the stakeholders who were involved in this Strategic Plan preparation and formulation. I therefore call upon Development partners, Civil Society, Academia and Private Sector to be actively involved in the implementation of the strategic Plan 2018-2022 for the Parliamentary Forum on Climate Change. In so doing, the country will have been set on the path to improve readiness, reduce risks and enhance resilience to the negative impacts of climate change.

6 THE PFCC - U STRATEGIC PLAN 2018-2022
1.1 The PFCC-U Strategic Plan 2018-2022
This Strategic Plan of the Parliamentary Forum on Climate Change - Uganda (PFCC-U) provides priorities to be implemented by the forum during the next five years, 2018 - 2022. The plan was developed through a multi-stakeholder consultative process involving PFCC-U members, the Executive, staff, representatives of development partners, government institutions and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). The plan was validated during a multi-stakeholder meeting held at Parliament. It replaces the previous plan launched in 2013 and implemented till December 2017.
1.2. About PFCC-U
The Parliamentary Forum on Climate Change – Uganda (PFCC), the first Climate Change forum in Africa, was created in late 2008 to respond to the pressing environmental, social and economic issues presented by Climate Change. The Forum is a network of over 200 Ugandan Parliamentarians working with development practitioners, civil society organizations, and members of the private sector who recognize the urgency and need for immediate action in responding to Climate Change. PFCC provides a mechanism through which Uganda can strengthen
1.0 INTRODUCTION
linkages between the parliaments, executives, the academia and civil society, on Climate Change and related challenges through representation, legislation and oversight.
PFCC provides a voice that facilitates and encourages direct dialogue to promote a more comprehensive approach to dealing with the impacts of Climate Change and preparing Uganda for the future. The Forum works in partnership to reinforce cooperation between Parliamentarians, policy makers, the academic community, civil society, development institutions, and nongovernmental organizations. This approach is unique to the effect that it facilitates broader participation and contribution from a wider stakeholder audience all of which are key for successful climate change mitigation and adaptation in the country.
Climate change is a long-term and cross cutting issue that outlives electoral cycles of parliamentarians and affects every sector of the economy. This means that although MPs matter in framing effective response, so do the permanent institutions and civil servants that support them. If the strategic plan is to be implemented effectively, the staff that supports members of parliament has to be involved.

1.3. Mandate, Vision and Mission
The key Mandate of PFCC is supporting the implementation of the climate change interventions country-wide to enhance awareness on climate change, enhance resilience among constituents and leading to low-carbon development in Uganda. Relatedly, the forum’s Vision is a Prosperous and Climate Change-Resilient Uganda while the Mission is to ensure proactive and coordinated actions from all stakeholders so that the most vulnerable sectors of the economy are climate proofed and sustainable development is achieved.
1.4. Values
The Forum believes that all members will ensure integrity and apply competence to effectively discharge functions to reduce the growing challenges from climate change. Forum members also believe that they shall be sensitive to climate change and bear a strong sense of accountability to the nation of Uganda and particularly their constituents regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation processes.
1.5. Why PFCC-U needs a Strategic Plan
PFCC-U is a dynamic forum involving members from different backgrounds. The forum also attracts interest from different stakeholders with different development orientations. Coupled with the complex system of operation
and the need to integrate effectively in the processes of other agencies including conducting oversight on government, a clear strategic direction was eminent. The plan will also enable the forum to effectively deliver the forum’s mandate, which requires visionary planning and execution of the plan.
The strategic plan is also important for aligning PFCC-U work with national policy and legal frameworks as well as priorities such as Vision 2040. At the international level, the plan will be critical for providing linkage with requirements such as the UNFCCC processes, UN SDGs and various conventions to which Uganda is party and legislators would play critical role in tracking developments from such processes.
1.6. The Strategic Planning process
PFCC-U has been implementing the old strategic plan that ended in December 2017. It is imperative to note that a lot was achieved during the just ended strategic plan period. However, although the plan was comprehensive, the high level of specificity especially in terms of stating interventions generally resulted into implementation challenges. Example some donors were interested in supporting specific actions as part of their priorities but since the list of activities did not include such activity, they could not do much. This meant that several activities previously included in the plan were not implemented. As the
8 THE PFCC - U STRATEGIC PLAN 2018-2022
forum enters into the new strategic period, interventions should be stated in “broad terms” so as to easily integrate specific donor preferences and avoid integration challenges.
The new strategic plan was developed through a consultative process involving initial discussions with the management team, survey of a
section of the membership and other stakeholders, preliminary reviews of the initial draft plan and validated by a broad section of stakeholders. This gives the current plan a comprehensive outlook representing views of PFCC-U members, government officials, CSOs, development partners and relevant stakeholders.

2.0. THE SITUATION ANALYSIS
2.1. The context
According to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Climate Change is a modern threat to the global community in many aspects. Uganda’s vulnerability stems from extreme climatic events such as drought and flooding, due to seasonal water supplies. Recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Report projects an increase in average temperatures in Uganda by up to 1.5ºC in the next 20 years and up to 4.3 ºC by the 2080’s. The same report predicts changes in rainfall patterns and total annual rainfall amounts with an increase in rainfall of 10-20% over most parts of the country. However, along the cattle corridor and mostly semi-arid districts, rainfall is expected to decrease significantly.
Interestingly, close to 80% of Uganda’s population depend on rain fed agriculture as the main source of livelihood. The sector also contributes close to 30% of the national GDP. In consideration of these facts, the eminent effect of climate change is going to directly impact on the livelihoods of households and the national economy. Example in 2016, the prevalence of prolonged drought was at its peak in most parts of the country. Districts like Nakaseke, Mubende, Kiryandongo and others in Busoga sub-region lost nearly
half of the annual maize and other crop production. Similarly significant decline was registered in livestock production in Nakasongola, Isingiro and Karamoja districts due to lack of pastures and water.
Additionally, the high reliance on natural resources also increase vulnerability of the national economy and people’s livelihoods. Of recent, droughts significantly affected water levels and undermined hydroelectricity production and potential for irrigation. Coupled with other factors like having among the highest annual population growth rates (3.2%) in the world, low per capita income, weak and inadequate infrastructure, the situation can only be exacerbated by the effects of climate change when no action is taken.
However, there is growing pressure to tackle climate change right from national to international levels owing to its anticipated negative impacts on the livelihood of nations and global economies. The UNFCCC requires that nations institute laws and policies for addressing climate change to reduce vulnerabilities of their citizenry. Uganda is currently implementing its National Climate Change Policy (NCCP) and other frameworks like NAPAs and NAMAs. The process of drafting the climate change bill has also started and
10 THE PFCC - U STRATEGIC PLAN 2018-2022
this will actively involve parliament.
In consideration of the on-going processes, the role of parliament must be enhanced so as to ensure effectiveness in oversight, legislation and representation with a climate change perspective. Therefore, MPs need to be adequately prepared and
informed about the details of climate change, its impacts and what can be done to adapt or mitigate against the impacts. The existence of PFCC presents an opportunity and having in-place an elaborate strategic plan is a clear roadmap for involving MPs in the fight against the negative impacts of climate change in Uganda.
2.2. The SWOT analysis

d. Limited awareness of some stakeholders about MPs’ roles and mandates
e. Limited awareness of the public about actions for accelerating climate change actions in the country
f. Some policy provisions undermining recommended climate change responses
g. Ever changing global politics and priorities on climate change interventions
2.7. Lessons/experiences from previous period
PFCC-U has worked closely with several parliamentary fora in different countries. The engagement with the Climate Parliament presented significant levels of exposure for the Uganda MPs to learn from international best practices and domesticate such experiences to the local context. Such engagement strongly supports the need to fill in the capacity gaps identified during the needs assessment conducted alongside the strategic plan development process.
Valuable lessons have been learnt of cases where similar forums elsewhere have successfully lobbied government projects or interventions to address climate change impacts. Questions
need to be asked, how PFCC-U can best engage with the different agencies to ensure that such lessons are replicated. This is within the understanding that members’ ownership is critical for the success of any government project. It is therefore important to ensure members motivation in the programmes of PFCC-U. Equally important is for the forum management to devise mechanisms for building effective relationships with other parliamentary fora and structures. This is critical for consensus building amongst MPs from the different blocks hence providing a solid platform for supporting specific climate change related provisions that may come through for debate in the floor of parliament. It also becomes a mechanism for fostering accountability among government agencies.

4.2. Roles and responsibilities
The implementation of interventions during the new strategic period will require active participation and involvement of the executive, members and the secretariat. The executive will need to offer guidance and strategic decision making in implementation of planned activities. They will also take part in sensitizing other members about updates and emerging issues in the climate change sector. It will also be imperative that the executive plays a critical role in reviewing institutional policies and actively engage government and development partners to commit funding for the Forum.
Relatedly, the members will need to exhibit significant commitment to the vision and objectives of the forum so as to necessitate building of confidence and trust among other stakeholders who may be interested in supporting or working with PFCC. This will require fulfilling their individual obligations in attending strategic workshops, meetings, trainings and providing input to the forum’s activities including renewing their subscriptions. Most importantly, members will need to be proactive by conducting research on climate change issues and using findings to make presentations in the floor of parliament and other important meetings nationally and internationally.
To achieve the new objectives, the Secretariat will need to be effectively
facilitated to provide effective coordination. This will involve soliciting for important information (nationally/internationally) on new climate change trends, funding opportunities or potential collaborations/partnerships to be shared with the executive for further guidance. Analysis of the status of implementation of policies such as the National Climate Change Policy, and frameworks like NAPAs, mainstreaming guidelines will be critical. The secretariat will need to identify and develop a cohort of fundable priority interventions from the strategic plan that could easily be taken up by specific development partners who may only be interested in a specific component of the strategic plan.
At the parliament level, the secretariat will need to strategically position PFCC as a forum of choice among the different departments within the parliament including the office of the Rt. Hon. Speaker, Leader of Opposition, heads of different committees, MPs not subscribing to PFCC and the general parliamentary staff. This will help draw more interest onto the work of the forum. To realize these, concerted efforts must be made to build capacity of the secretariat staff including members of the forum.
4.3. Stakeholder involvement
In implementing the strategic plan, several stakeholders will need to be involved as they bring in different experience and resources to support
20 THE PFCC - U STRATEGIC PLAN 2018-2022
the work of the forum. The key stakeholders for PFCC interventions primarily include; CSOs, Private sector, line ministries, opinion leaders, academia, and development partners.
Local NGOs/CSOs can support the advocacy in line with PFCC’s interest. Development partners can provide lessons on best practices, technical input to strengthen PFCC’s capacity to implement its planned activities including funding for interventions. Government agencies are the primary source of information regarding implementation status of climate change projects and budgetary
allocation/support for climate change activities. The academia provides a critical avenue for research and source of new findings in climate change issues while the media can provide a mouth piece for publishing relevant information generated by the forum.
In consideration of the complexities of the various stakeholders and their influence to the work of the forum, it will be imperative that PFCC leadership considers undertaking a comprehensive stakeholder mapping and analysis and prepare an appropriate engagement strategy with the respective stakeholders.

5.0. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Overall, the main purpose for conducting Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is to track progress in the strategic plan implementation process while identifying challenges and recommending new strategies for effective realization of all the results anticipated. The M&E process will provide regular review of the progress of implementation in terms of in-puts, outputs/targets and quality of services. It will involve routine information gathering, analysis and reporting to members, the parliament, development partners, and relevant stakeholders.
To guide the overall M&E process, detailed framework is provided in Annex I. The M&E framework will focus on the following:
a. Promoting accountability for the achievement of strategic plan objectives through the assessment of outputs.
b. Providing the basis for systematically collecting and analyzing information on the changes arising from strategic plan activities.
c. Promoting learning, feedback, and information sharing of results and lessons learned during the implementation of the strategic plan.
d. Enabling PFCC identify key information needed to guide the smooth implementation of the strategic plan
In a bid to closely monitor implementation progress of the strategic plan, a mid-term review should be conducted in the year 2020 and a terminal evaluation for the strategic plan implementation should be conducted in 2022.
Information dissemination
Information, new lessons/knowledge and experiences on Strategic Plan performance will be disseminated to Donors, Partners and PFCC networks through climate change networks, working groups on different thematic issues, newsletters, and conferences/meetings (nationally/internationally) through compilation of reports, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials.
22 THE PFCC - U STRATEGIC PLAN 2018-2022
6.0. RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT
Risk management is a process involving identifying, evaluating, prioritizing the risk and at the same time, managing and mitigating the risk. Most of the risks identified are included in the situation analysis section as opportunities, challenges and threats. The forum should strive to understand and effectively manage the risks in order to achieve its objectives and priorities. Other risks identified during data collection for this strategic plan include; insufficient funds to implement planned activities; competition with other partners for the same donor resources and high expectations of members that if not met may disappoint the voluntary membership.
To effectively manage the risks will require; prioritizing spending of
available funds, use of cost efficient alternatives to deliver activities e.g. utilization of parliamentary facilities to hold meetings and increasing the sharing of information with broad stakeholders regarding the importance of the forum in climate Change sector and increasing fundraising efforts to secure resources for the effective implementation of the strategic plan. Taking these forward, PFCC may need to identify a resident management consultant on a retainer basis or build internal capacity to support the secretariat in further programme development, resource mobilization and other management aspects in a bid to foster financial sustainability and minimize vulnerability to risks. Overall, a comprehensive risk log will need to be developed and management framework instituted.
Hon. Dr. Keefa Kiwanuka of Kiboga East Constituency Vice Chair Natural Resources Committee and PFCC-U Central Region Executive representative deliberating
