1FOREWORD

NEMA’s activities focus on providing support to Government‘s development goal of ensuring poverty reduction in a sustainable manner, within the framework of economic stability and increased environment and natural resources productivity for improved livelihoods, environmental sustainability and socio-economic development in Uganda.

NEMA has continued to contribute to policy planning and implementation processes at both National and Local Government levels so as to ensure sustainable development in the country. Notably, NEMA has contributed to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the formulation of the National Development Plan (NDP), Prosperity For All (PFA) Program, sector policies and plans to ensure that Environment and Natural Resources Management is integrated at all levels.

NEMA made considerable achievements, as demonstrated by the 2009/10 report. These achievements have been possible because of the support from the Government of Uganda, Development Partners, Lead Agencies and Local Governments. Besides, the commitments and professionalism NEMA staff and guidance from the Policy Committee on Environment (PCE) and NEMA Board of Directors (BOD) contributed immensely to the achievements.

Notably, funding gaps and limited number of personnel are the key challenges that are limiting the capacity of NEMA, Lead Agencies and Local Governments in addressing the current and emerging environmental issues. Therefore, there is need to build the capacity of NEMA and its partners (funding, training and tooling) to address environmental problems in the country. Notably, NEMA is currently undergoing institutional review in order to manage the emerging environmental challenges related to oil and gas, climate change and weather variability and electronic wastes.

It is my conviction that this report will inform our partners on the achievements made by NEMA in 2009/10 and act as a tool for public accountability, transparency and corporate image building.

2CHAPTER ONE

1.0 THE STATE OF ENVIRONMENT IN UGANDA

1.1 The current situations and future scenariosThe year 1972 was seen as the watershed for modern environmentalism. The first international conference on the environment – United Nations Conference on the Human Environment – was convened in Stockholm (Sweden). The conference brought together 113 nations, including Uganda, and other stakeholders to discuss issues of common concern (UNEP, 2002). In 2002, the 30 year-mark was an opportunity to assess the progress made in the past, present and the future perspectives. Decisions made since Stockholm 1972 now influence governance, business and economic activity at different levels. They define international environmental law and its application in different countries, determine international and bilateral relations among different countries and regions, and influence individual and society lifestyle choices. However, some things have not progressed, for example, the environment is still at the periphery of socio-economic development, and poverty and excessive consumption continue to put enormous pressure on the environment. As a result, sustainable development remains largely theoretical for the majority of the people in the world today. The level of awareness and action has not been commensurate with the state of the global environment today; it continues to deteriorate (UNEP 2002).

Uganda’s environment has been undergoing rapid change as documented since the publication of the first state of the environment report in 1994. By 2005, the rate of deforestation had increased from 1.76 per cent per annum, in 2000, to an unprecedented rate of 2.13 per cent, a 21.2 per cent increase (FAO 2007, UNEP 2006). Land degradation is also severe. For instance, according to Yaron and Moyini (2003), the country loses about 11 per cent of its Gross National Income per annum as a result of excessive soil erosion alone. Pollution of lakes and river systems continues unabated. Recent estimates indicate that more than 7 per cent of the original wetland area in Uganda has been converted to other land uses (UBOS 1999). This has resulted in loss of biodiversity, especially for species that thrive or breed in wetlands.

A number of factors “drivers” influence the severity and direction of environmental change, and the impacts of such change on ecosystem functioning, and health, and well-being of people. The factors that have considerable impacts on the environment are demographic changes, economic growth, social changes and governance issues, and science and technology with particular focus on e-technology. Although each driver is considered separately, there are links between the different drivers which act individually or in combination - often maximising negative impacts but sometimes producing positive change (UNEP 2006). The drivers also operate at different spatial scales, local, national or international and interact with varying political, policy, economic and social conditions, which have implications on the final environmental outcomes.

Uganda faces the challenge of ensuring adequate supply of arable land, freshwater, food security, housing and livelihood opportunities for almost twice as many people by 2025. Each of these contributes towards the achievement of sustainable development and poverty reduction efforts. The relationship between poverty and the environment is well documented and will continue to dominate the development agenda. For instance, land is a highly volatile and political issue and its control continues to be a critical factor in the

Page 9

N E M A

3country’s development. Land availability has implications on food security, it can be expected that this issue will assume growing importance in Uganda’s politics. The continued growth of the country will require a coherent and pragmatic approach to land use planning and management.

To improve on the effectiveness of its policy processes, Uganda will need to make a number of key investments such as supporting the implementation of the new National Development Plan including human and financial resources; implementing a programme of research that can provide answers to emerging issues or existing problems and the establishment of an environment management information system. This will support planning, early warning, mitigation and the management of vulnerabilities within the country. It will also enhance the inter-linkages between different environmental and social issues and avoid conflicts between policies. A strengthened NEMA that can facilitate effective and efficient responses for Uganda within this fast globalising world is also essential.

1.2 Possible policy options and responses(a) Policy review, legislations and institutional capacity enhancement to address the emerging development

challenges and the associated environmental problems. Such challenges include oil/gas, electronic wastes and climate change with the related environmental issues

(b) Integrated and effective implementation of the National Development Plan while taking into account the existing sector policies and plans to ensure sustainable utilization and management of environment and natural resources:

• Prioritization of the environment and natural resources sector;• Implementation of education for sustainable development strategy and formulation better public

education strategy; • Integration of science and technology for eco-efficiency through pollution control mechanisms like

cleaner production;• Disaster risk forecast and management capacity enhancement;• Integrated Water Resources Management Strategies/policies;• Policies and strategies for managing the fragile ecosystems; wetlands, riverbanks/lakeshores,

hilly and mountainous areas;• Inventorization and economic valuation of natural resources to enhance integration of ENR cost

and benefit values into the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and System of National Accounting (SNA)

• Afforestation/ re-afforestation and forest resources/biomass management policies and strategies;

• Land use, housing and urban development Policies and plans; • Trade and Industrialization policies and plans;• Energy policies and plans;

4CHAPTER TWO

2.0 OVERVIEW OF NEMA’s STRATEGIC POSITION

The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) is a semi-autonomous institution, established in May,1995, under the National Environment Act, Cap. 153, and became operational in December 1995, as the principal agency in Uganda, charged with the responsibility of coordinating, monitoring, regulating and supervising environmental management in the country. NEMA spearheads the development of environmental policies, laws, regulations, standards and guidelines; and guides Government on sound environmental management in Uganda.

NEMA’s activities are focused on providing support to Government’s main goal of ensuring sustainable development through the National Development Plan (NDP); in accordance with the policy framework of the Government of Uganda and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

2.1 Mandate, Vision, Mission, and GoalThe National Environment Act (NEA), Cap. 153, stipulates the mandate of NEMA as the principal agency in Uganda responsible for the management of the environment by coordinating, monitoring, coordinating, supervising and regulating all activities in the field of environment.The Mandate is strengthened by the Vision, “An Efficient Agency, With People in Uganda Living In A Clean, Healthy, Productive And Sustainable Environment”. The Mission is “To promote and ensure sound environmental management practices for sustainable development”; while the Goal is “To promote sound environmental management and prudent use of environment and natural resources in Uganda”.

2.2 The Development ObjectiveNEMA’s development objective is to create, establish and maintain an efficient mechanism for sustainable environmental and natural resources management at the national, district and community levels.

2.3 The Core ValuesOver the years NEMA has established a culture that pursues: client focus; integrity and transparency; professional motivation and commitment; innovation and creativity; open, cross-functional and all participatory decision making and problem solving; partnerships and collaboration; and, passion for sustainable environment.

2.4 Statutory FunctionsAs a regulatory Agency, NEMA draws authority which is embedded in the National Environment Act Cap. 153, to:(a) coordinate the implementation of Government policies and the decision of the Policy Committee on Environment;(b) ensure the integration of environmental concerns in overall national planning through coordination

with the relevant ministries, departments and agencies of government;(c) liaise with the private sector, inter-governmental organisations, non-governmental and governmental

agencies of other states on issues relating to the environment;

Page 11

Annual Performance Report 2009/10

N E M A

5(d) propose environmental policies and strategies to the Policy Committee;(e) initiate legislative proposals, standards and guidelines on the environment in accordance with the law;(f) review and approve environmental impact assessments and environmental impact statements

submitted in accordance with the National Environment Act;(g) promote public awareness through formal and non-formal education about environmental issues; (h) undertake studies and submit such reports and recommendations with respect to the environment as

the Government or the Policy Committee may consider necessary;(i) ensure observance of proper safeguards in the planning and execution of all development projects,

including those already in existence that have or are likely to have significant impact on the environment determined in accordance with schedule II of the National Environment Act;

(j) undertake research, and disseminate information about the environment;(k) prepare and disseminate the national state of the environment report (NSOER) once in every two years;(l) mobilise, expedite and monitor resources for environmental management; and(m) perform such other functions as the government may assign to the Authority;

2.5 Institutional Set-up 2.5.1 NEMA Structure

At the apex of NEMA’s institutional set-up is the Policy Committee on Environment (PCE), chaired by the Prime Minister. The PCE consists of the Ministers responsible for the following: Environment and natural resources; Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries; Finance, and Economic Planning; Education and Sports; Trade, Tourism and Industry; Health; Gender, Labour and Social Development; Local Government; Works and Transport, and Energy and Mineral development. The Board Chairman and the Executive Director are ex-officials. The role of the PCE is to: provide policy guidance, formulate and coordinate environmental policies; liaise with the Cabinet on issues affecting the environment; identify obstacles to the implementation of those policies and programs; and, perform any other functions that may be assigned by the Government.

The Minister responsible for Environment, who is also the alternate Chairperson of the PCE, provides overall policy direction, supervision, guidance, and monitors performance of NEMA and the implementation of government policies.

NEMA is governed by Statutory Committees and Board of Directors, with a well established Secretariat carrying out the daily functions. The governance of the Authority is vested in the Board of Directors (BOD) appointed by the Minister responsible for Environment. The role of the BOD, among others, is to oversee the operations of the Authority, review the policy and strategic plan of NEMA; approve budgets and plans, monitor and evaluate the performance of NEMA, and provide guidance to the Executive Director. The recently inaugurated BOD is the fifth since the inception of NEMA.

There are two Committees of the Board in-charge of Personnel/Administration, and Finance, respectively. The Board also has five Statutory Technical Committees handling matters pertaining to: (i) Soil Conservation; (ii) Licensing of Pollution; (iii) Biodiversity Conservation; (iv) Environment Impact Assessment; and, (v) the Adhoc Committee on the Development of Environmental Standards.

Page 12

Annual Performance Report 2009/10

N E M A

6The NEMA Secretariat (internal structure of NEMA) is composed of the: Office of the Executive Director (including the Deputy Executive Director, and the Monitoring and Evaluation, the Legal and Public Relations Sections); Department of Finance and Administration; Department of District Support Coordination and Public Education; Department of Policy, Planning and Information; and, Department of Environment Monitoring and Compliance. The Office of the Executive Director oversees the daily operations of NEMA, and it is also responsible for providing legal advice and taking care of public relations matters.

2.5.2 Linkages with Line-Ministries and DistrictsThe line-ministries constitute the horizontal linkage with NEMA. While NEMA is responsible for monitoring, planning and coordination of environmental matters, implementation role is the responsibility of the relevant line-ministries. The Environment Liaison Units focal-points exist in each line-ministry and are charged with the responsibility of integrating environmental concerns into the respective line-ministry sectoral plans, and implementing environmental activities within their mandate, for example, reviewing Environment Impact Statements (EISs).

2.5.3 Linkages with the Districts

The districts form the vertical linkage with NEMA. The development of strong links between the resource users and the Authority is very crucial for effective implementation of the National Environment Action Plan. NEMA therefore, has focused programmes aimed at: building local government environmental planning capacity supported by an information and knowledge base, to enable them to sustainably manage the environment and natural resources within their jurisdiction

In this respect, NEMA has been over the years assisting local government to develop their respective environmental action plans, policies and bye-laws, recruitment of district environment officers, project support, tooling/equipping, among others. Hence, NEMA has focused its programme activities on building local government environment management capacity to enable them advocate and take initiatives to manage their own environment and natural resources in a sustainable manner; (the capacity building initiatives by NEMA are aimed at enhancing decentralized environment management in local governments).

2.6 Stakeholder CollaborationNEMA ensures that environmental concerns are integrated into the planning processes at national, local governments, and community levels. Since environment management is a cross-cutting matter, it calls for networking and partnership with different stakeholders, to ensure sustainable socio-economic development. The stakeholders that NEMA collaborates within environment management include: donors/development partners; lead agencies; local governments; communities; NGOs/CBOs; media; academia; the public; individuals and the private sector.

3.0 CONTRIBUTION OF NEMA TO NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

3.1 Contribution to National Development and regional/ international partnerships

Uganda’s economy heavily relies on the environment and natural resource base. Agriculture continues to determine Uganda’s success in terms of economic growth and poverty reduction. The sector’s share of GDP remains high at 21 per cent having only recently reduced from 47.7% in the late 1990s and 41.6% in the early 2000s. The sector also continues to absorb the largest share of the labour force, for which more than 73 per cent of the population is engaged in agricultural production – in mostly the primary agricultural sub-sector. Primary sector products in particular, feature prominently in Uganda’s development plans – in the previous PEAP and now in the National Development Plan.

NEMA has played a leading role in the formulation and development of policies, plans, laws, regulations, guidelines, and standards; training and skills development; integration of environmental concerns in planning processes; and, environmental information and education and review of various sector policies.

The laws and regulations focus on aspects such as pollution and management of different natural resources.

Training and skills development includes training and equipping of different stakeholders.

Environmental information and education has led to development of environmental education curricula for primary to tertiary levels, as well as non-formal and informal sectors and integration of ENR management into university and tertiary institutional programs

NEMA has participated fully in the formulation of national development programs/projects like plan for the National Development Plan (NDP), the Plan for the Modernization of Agriculture (PMA), National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS), Northern Uganda Social Action Fund (NUSAF), Peace, Recovery and Development Plan for Northern Uganda (PRDP) and Prosperity for All (PFA) Strategy and implementation of the MDGs.

NEMA participates in regional and international projects, fora and organizations to enhance sound environment management and sustainable development with particular focus on the international conventions (ratification and domestication) and cross border environmental resources. Such fora or organizations include Lake Victoria Environment Management Program (LVEMP), Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), East African Community (EAC), Multi Environmental Agreements (MEAs), UNDP, UNEP and other regional/international partners.

Currently NEMA is coordinating/ implementing/ participating in some international projects related to the following:• Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Municipal Solid Waste Composting Project• Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM)• Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)• Ozone Depleting Substances• Rio-MEAs (Multi-Environmental Agreements)

8CHAPTER FOUR

4.0 NEMA’S PERFORMANCE 2008/9 FY

One of the key outputs of NEMA is an annual report, and this has been done since its inception in 1996. The 2009/10 Report, however, has been enriched in scope, targeting a wider readership at all levels of governance in Uganda, as well as other partners and stakeholders.

NEMA’s annual report is important because it serves the purpose of legal requirements by Government of Uganda, NEMA Financial and Accounting Regulations and requirements by programmes/projects. The annual report is also essential for public accountability for resources utilized and corporate image building.

One of the core functions of NEMA is to ensure compliance with the environmental laws and regulations among different regulated communities, to ensure a clean and healthy environment. The Compliance and Enforcement Strategy (CES) of NEMA aims at achieving 100% internal organizational performance and 70% facility (developments – e.g., projects) compliance to environment-related legal requirements by the year 2014. The key expected outcomes of successful implementation of this strategy include: increased self monitoring and auditing; reduced public complaints; reduced water, air and land pollution; increased EIA and permit applications; increased regulated community participation in compliance monitoring; reinforced credibility of environmental protection efforts; and, reduced ecosystem loss and increased ecosystem restoration and ecosystem services.

The long term impact of the CES will be improved environmental quality, public health and increased economic benefits to individuals, to society, and Uganda’s economy, by reducing costs and liabilities both at the level of an individual entity and implementation of development initiatives, respectively. The Strategy has the following key result areas achieve the desired goal, namely: enhance compliance monitoring, enforcement and reporting; strengthen compliance assistance for increased impact; ensure timely review and processing of EIA and permit applications; enhance data collection, processing and analysis for decision making; enhance provision of ecosystem services; environment integration into policies, plans and programmes/projects at national and local government levels strengthened.

4.1 NEMA’s KEY RESULT AREAS/ STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES The performance pillars that are in NEMA’s five-year Strategic Plan emphasize continuous performance improvement to meet the emerging environmental issues and development challenges like oil and gas, urban waste management and climate. The performance pillars are:a) Environmental compliance and enforcement of environmental law, regulations and standards enhanced;b) Environment integration into policies, plans and programs/projects at national and local government

levels strengthened;c) Access to environmental information, education/awareness, and public participation enhanced;d) NEMA’s institutional capacity to perform its mandate strengthened; ande) National, regional and international partnerships and network for effective environment management

and sustainable development enhanced.
