THE JOURNEY OF RESTORING DEGRADED NABAKAZI WETLAND IN MUBENDE DISTRICT.
Since June 2025, National Association of Professional Environmentalists (NAPE) with support from Germany based –Partner- (Partner für Klima und Natur gGmbH (PKN) began implementing a project pilot titled “Sustainable Conservation of Nabakazi Wetland Ecosystem for Carbon Sequestration Enhanced Household Food Security and Improved Community Livelihoods in Coffee Producing District of Mubende.” The project aims to restore the degraded Nabakazi wetland which is crucial for biodiversity and climate change mitigation. The project also aims to enhance community livelihoods through sustainable wetland management, restoration of degraded wetland areas, sustainable land use practices and building the capacity of local communities on wetland conservation. The project commenced with a baseline study to identify areas for restoration and this was followed by community outreach, capacity building and sensitization missions on wetland conservation and sustainable agriculture practices along the buffer zones of the wetland.
The project is in direct harmony with Uganda's National Biological Strategic Action Plan (2025-2030) and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework goals, the National Determined Contributions (NDCs), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) primarily aligned to SDGs 6, 13, 14 and 15. These goals aim to protect ecosystems, combat climate change, ensure clean water and manage marine resources sustainably by 2030.
The baseline was duly done and sanctioned by communities and the district project technical team comprised of NAPE project officers as a formidable working document. For more information about the study findings on Nabakazi wetland, Read more on the link below.
