Uganda’s agricultural sector is increasingly threatened by climate variability, prolonged dry spells, and the declining reliability of rainfall. Solar-Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS) are emerging as one of the most promising climate-smart technologies to strengthen resilience and increase productivity for the country’s smallholder farmers.
On the 6th May UNEP-Copenhagen Climate Centre together with FAO, the Royal Danish Embassy in Uganda, MercyCorp, GGGI and UNCDF will host the “National Forum for Scaling investment in Solar-Powered Irrigation Systems”.
The event will highlight the high-level investment case for SPIS, showcase innovative aggregator-based and blended-finance models, and explore opportunities to integrate SPIS into national climate investment plans and adaptation finance pipelines. The meeting will also serve as a platform for strengthening partnerships with key ecosystem actors – including technology providers, agribusinesses, off-takers, insurers, and farmer organizations – to support market-driven roll-out of SPIS for climate-resilient agriculture across Uganda.
The event is by invitation only.
