Wetland Management Planning Process - Uganda’s Case

Step 1: reconnaissance, identify and mobilize all stakeholders general resources (Human & equipment)-secure ownership

Step 2: agree on process, time-frame, output with stakeholders

Step 3: CWMP: analyze stakeholder interests, any conflicts existing systems, roles & responsibilities

Step 5:CWMP: agree on objectives of CWMP

Step 6: CWMP agree on management options

Step 4:CWMP: Analyze resources, users, abusers, conflicts

Step 0: identify planning area

Step7: CWMP: zone the planning area

Step 8: CWMP: develop WMP with a monitoring plan

Step 9: CWMP: agree on sanctions

The wise use and management of wetlands has to be voluntarily and

wholeheartedly supported, implemented by all stakeholders, through an agreed

and owned management plan
