The assessment was conducted
for the purposes of mapping out existing climate
actions and strategies, and institutions in order
to identify channels through which the EASE-CA project
team can intervene and influence policy processes
in pursuance of a pro-poor focus. These
studies on sustainable energy and other climate solutions
have 3 major parts, which aim to: Document current
status; Identify opportunities for advocacy and lobbying;
and Map out CSOs and SMEs. |

East
Africa NGO Cooperation Project "EASE-CA": Four
national NGO organizations of INFORSE-East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, and
Tanzania) cooperate in
the 3-year project in 2019-2022.
Project Partners are: SusWatch Kenya, UCSD
and JEEP in Uganda, TaTEDO in Tanzania, INFORSE-East Africa
c/o TaTEDO, INFORSE, and NFRE (see contact details underneath).
- The overall development objective of the Project is increased
access to sustainable energy and other climate solutions to local communities
in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania with both women’s and men’s full and
effective participation and leadership for improved livelihoods and
reduction of poverty. This will be realised by combining Civil Society
Organization (CSO) activities on local, national and international
levels in ways, where they reinforce each other. The project primarily
works towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1 (poverty), SDG5
(gender), SDG7 (clean energy), SDG 13 (climate action), and SDG 17
(partnerships).
- Objectives/Activities include:
- Local Activities in 3 districts in Uganda: Empower poor,
rural communities to get access to clean energy and improved livelihoods
in an economic and climate friendly way. Seminars, trainings reaching
out to rural households, training of trainers (ToTs), local leaders,
planners. Themes include: clean cooking, water, food security, tree
planting, solar energy, sustainable energy & development, income
generation to reduce poverty, entrepreneurship etc.
- National level: Strengthen Civil Society Organisations
(CSO) activities in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Strategies & scenarios
for 100% renewable energy. Meetings of CSO Coalitions, joint CSO proposals,
presentations for national planners & decision-makers, dialogues
with stakeholders, media campaign.
- International Level Advocacy: Strengthen Networking
and participation of CSOs, exchange of experience and give voice to
CSOs at United Nations’ Climate Negotiations (UNFCCC).
- Publish: African Catalogue of local solutions (print,
web, mobile).
