The Government of Uganda has developed its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to reduce vulnerability to climate change in priority sectors as well as reduce its GHG emissions by 22% in 2030, compared to the business as usual scenario, through priority actions in the forestry, wetlands, energy, transport, and agriculture sectors, among others. However, the current COVID 19 pandemic might delay the current efforts and divert attention from urgent climate actions. Despite the COVID19 constrained situation, the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MoFPED) and the other NDC Partnership focal points—Ministry of Water and Environment/Climate Change Department (MWE/CCD) and National Planning Authority (NPA)— would like to keep the momentum of climate action going while ensuring a sound economic recovery. Through the NDC-Partnership, the German Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) commissioned the Global Carbon Markets Programme which will support the position of an Economic advisor to work on a ‘Green economic recovery’ for Uganda. The Technical Advisor will be embedded in the Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development under direct supervision from the Director- Debt and Cash Policy. The technical advisor shall work in close collaboration with the Commissioner – Ministry of Water and Environment/Climate Change Department and the NDC partnership focal point in the National Planning Authority
