1.0 Background<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Government of Uganda has identified and prioritized equitable access to productive land, sustainable natural resources management and integrated landscape planning and management as critical development pathways for meeting economic growth, poverty reduction and industrialization. One of the country\u2019s critical landscapes faced with vast land management challenges is the Mt. Elgon landscape. This mountain landscape is a food basket supporting a population of approximately four million people with productive yet vulnerable resources. The Mt Elgon landscape is a source of critical goods and services that support biodiversity, watersheds, local community livelihoods and socio-economic development Because of the critical nature of the Mt Elgon landscape, a project was conceived to address the vast land management challenges facing the landscape.
\u00a0
Promoting Integrated Landscape management approach for conservation of the Mount Elgon ecosystem in Eastern Uganda project is a Government of Uganda project funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the UN Environment. The project is being implemented by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) in collaboration with relevant partners at national and district levels. It aims to enhance food security and conserve the ecosystems that provide critical goods and services for rural livelihoods in the Mt. Elgon landscape.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The project goal is to enhance conservation of ecosystems that provide critical goods and services for rural livelihoods and food security in the Mt. Elgon landscape.\u00a0
The project objective is to transition the Mt. Elgon landscape to a sustainable, biodiverse, climate-resilient, integrated landscape with efficient coffee and staple crops (maize, beans, banana and Irish potato) value chains.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
