Government of Uganda has called on the regional member states of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) to handle the effects of environmental challenges seriously.
The State Minister for Karamoja Moses Kizige says despite interventions, member countries like Uganda still witnesses devastating impact of climate change that have severe effect on people’s livelihood and the general economic growth.
Kizige said this while representing the Minister for Relief and Disaster Preparedness at the opening of the one week long IGAD Drought Disaster Resilience and Sustainability Initiative (IDDRSI) steering committee meeting at Entebbe today.
However, the IGAD Director of Agriculture and Environment Division Mohammed Moussa believes that a regional policy or law that protects the environment is urgently needed besides individual member responsibility to protect the environment.
