“Commercial beekeeping improves our livelihoods and supports the protection of our forests and water streams, preventing drought and flooding”: Uganda - Success Story

Since 2019, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in-collaboration with Partners for Resilience (PfR) have developed and implemented scalable Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) models, working alongside various governments and their respective communities in strengthening their capacity and shaping Eco-DRR policy interventions. The content for the success story document has been framed to highlight the voices of local beneficiaries in Uganda impacted by the Eco-DRR project. The success story showcases a human element demonstrating the need for large-scale implementation of Eco-DRR in advancing the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the Sustainable Development Agenda.
