Abstract

In 1991, Uganda launched its first National Environmental Action Plan (NEAP) process. The main purpose of the NEAP was to integrate environmental concerns into the overall socio-economic development process, and further to address concrete modalities for the conservation of Uganda’s natural heritage. The NEAP process resulted in several environmental policies, legislation, institutional arrangements and an investment plan. This forms Uganda’s de facto conservation strategy today.
