In countries, LIFE-AR aims to strengthen governance structures and mechanisms in the long term, to allow LDCs to receive climate finance directly and to channel climate funds to the local level, where it is most needed. An important part of achieving these goals rely on set up and test of the delivery mechanisms countries choose.
In Uganda, the Devolved Climate Finance (DCF) mechanism serves as the country’s delivery mechanism under LIFE-AR. The DCF is built around four core components:
- Climate Resilience Fund (CRF) strengthening existing financial and fiduciary frameworks by embedding climate finance within local government systems, as a special conditional grant aligned with national public finance standards.
- Participatory Planning Institutions embedding climate finance within local government systems, as a special conditional grant aligned with national public finance standards.
- Climate Information & Resilience Planning integrating climate information, risk assessment and resilience planning tools into local government planning processes.
- Monitoring, Evaluation and Learnin to strengthen national and local monitoring, evaluation and learning systems to track results, assess institutional performance and capture lessons over time.
This summary document unpacks how Uganda, through its Devolved Climate Finance (DCF) delivery mechanism, is operationalising both its long term development ambitions as well as the LDC Vision 2050.
