Abstract

In order to obtain an enriched understanding of the
framing of gender issues in climate change related
policies in Uganda and to explore its impacts on climate
change adaptation at grassroots, the International
Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and the International
Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) analyzed the
influence of current policy and institutional frameworks on
gender and climate issues. The study evaluated the
institutional and political context under which policies
related to climate change are developed and
implemented in Uganda as well as examined the gender
approaches employed at different administrative levels of
the government.
