The work entailed the establishment of a streamlined and efficient no-objection procedure and a coordination mechanism for the NDA to enable Uganda take ownership of GCF-financed programme and projects. The project also led to the development of Uganda’s GCF Country Programme in line with existing climate plans and strategies. The project was implemented by IISD and New Climate Institute.
