Capacity needs for gender integration and women’s engagement in energy, environment and climate change action in refugee-hosting districts in Uganda

Settling displaced communities adds pressure on natural resources, especially where host communities also rely on the same resources to meet their needs. The capacity of individuals to cope with the results of conflict is strongly influenced by their gendered roles and responsibilities. Women’s participation in natural resource use and decision making is undervalued. This study was conducted to understand local government leaders and other stakeholders’ actions and capacity in gender integration in natural resource management, and the participation of women in existing environmental coordination mechanisms/structures in five refugee-hosting districts in Uganda.
