Advancing and scaling up sexual and reproductive health services for climate adaptation and resilience in Uganda
The impact of the climate crisis on SRH is increasingly evident, particularly for women and girls, yet Uganda's key climate policies still exhibit lack of concrete actions to address SRH vulnerabilities. Prioritizing SRH within climate adaptation efforts, especially through resilient health systems and livelihood support such as climate resilient agricultural training and vocational programs for women and girls is key to advancing both gender and health equity, and climate resilience in Uganda. This should be supported by robust gender disaggregated data, stronger institutional coordination, and inclusive, community-led planning.
