Uganda’s updated climate commitments present a crucial opportunity to move from gender awareness to gender-transformative action. Regenerate Africa’s new policy brief, created in collaboration with the Population Institute and Panorama Global, examines how Uganda’s Updated NDC (NDC 2.0) recognizes gender as a cross-cutting issue but stops short of operationalizing measurable gender objectives, clear financing lines, and institutional accountability. Key findings show that while gender is acknowledged across mitigation and adaptation sectors, there are gaps in gender-disaggregated baselines, gender-responsive budgeting, and formal frameworks to track gender outcomes. This brief provides targeted recommendations to ensure NDC 3.0 delivers measurable, inclusive, and accountable climate outcomes.
