Project or context description
Uganda is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including rising temperatures, increasingly erratic rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events. In response, the Government of Uganda has placed climate resilience and green economic transformation at the core of its development agenda.
Clean cooking has been identified as a key driver for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving household health outcomes, and supporting an inclusive energy transition. The Government has demonstrated strong commitment through several policy frameworks, including the National Development Plan IV (NDP IV), the Energy Transition Plan, the National Integrated Clean Cooking Strategy (NICCS), and the eCooking Strategy.
Within this context, the project “Supporting Uganda’s Green Transition and Public Investments Management for Sustainable Growth”, financed by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), aims to strengthen Uganda’s capacity to manage climate-sensitive public investments and support low-carbon development pathways.
As part of its technical assistance mandate under the project, Expertise France is seeking short-term experts to support the development of Uganda’s clean cooking sector through two complementary areas of intervention: (i) clean cooking standards and (ii) monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) systems for clean cooking.
