These guidelines and action plans aim at establishing appropriate guidance to enable mobilization and proper use of financial resources for financing biodiversity conservation in Uganda. The guidelines and actions plan will address the significant financial barriers to effective implementation of the NBSAP and other national biodiversity conservation plans and programmes in the country. In Uganda’s National Development Plan (NDP), biodiversity is characterised as one of the components of the environment sector, an enabling component of the NDP.  Therefore, biodiversity conservation is an important driver than enhances the performance of primary and secondary sectors such as agriculture, forestry, tourism and industry.
