Implementation of the ‘SWITCH Africa Green” programme in Uganda started in 2015, with technical support from UNEP and funding support from the European Union. The aim of this programme is to support private sector led inclusive green growth by providing capacity for both policy
makers and private sector actors to advocate for Sustainable Production and Consumption (SCP) practices in agriculture, Manufacturing and Tourism. The programme will do this by, first, enhancing the enabling environment for implementation of SCP practices, including the revision, amending and drafting
institutional, legislative, policy and regulatory frameworks to reflect the essence of a green economy, and second, improve institutional and individual capacity within stakeholders for SCP implementation.
This comprehensive implementation plan includes:
i. Development of institutional capacities of policy and economic actors to integrate SCP practices in Agriculture, Manufacturing and Tourism sectors;
ii. Conduct a baseline survey on business conditions on MSMEs and build capacities of business actors to implement SCPs through training on principles, best practices and decision support tools;
iii. Establish a scientific approach to support science based SCP implementation;
iv. Distil and disseminate nationally and through regional wide networks and programmes knowledge, lessons learnt and green practices among stakeholders in the private sector, government and consumers among the SAG countries and beyond; and,
v. Establish a peer training network and database to support integration of SCP mechanisms in Uganda.
