Lake Victoria Basin extends into five countries, namely Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda.
In the Lake Victoria Basin (LVB), climate change is inadequately integrated into regional transboundary water catchment management which is increasing the vulnerability of LVB communities. This problem is expected to intensify under the conditions of future climate change, specifically increasing variability in rainfall patterns and increasing mean annual temperatures.
The overall objective of this regional project is to reduce vulnerability to the negative effects of climate change in the five Lake Victoria Basin countries by building climate resilience. To achieve this objective, there are five project outcomes:
- Strengthened institutional and technical capacity to integrate climate resilience into transboundary water catchment management.
- Improved delivery of accurate and timely climate information to regional and national policymakers, technical officers and local communities.
- Climate change adaptation technologies transferred to communities to reduce their vulnerability to climate change.
- Regional resilience to climate change promoted through innovative, community-based projects.
- Improved knowledge management frameworks for the collection and maintenance of regional knowledge in transboundary water catchment management and climate change adaptation practices.
