  1. Compilation of the GHG Inventory – Uganda’s experienceMagezi-AkiikiDepartment of MeteorologyP. O. Box 7025Kampala, UgandaEmail: mageziakiiki@yahoo.com CGE Hands-on Training Workshop on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories for the African Region – Pretoria, South Africa 18 – 22 September 2006

  2. Introduction • Land locked Country with in the East Africa Region • Economy depends on agriculture which accounts for about 40% of GDP • Industrial base comprises mainly light industries characterized by processing of raw materials from agriculture, forestry and water bodies (10% of GDP) • Transport and Communication is on of the service industries which is growing fast

  3. Introduction (contd) • Uganda signed the UNFCCC on 13th June 1992 and ratified it on 8th September 1993 • Uganda compiled its GHG Inventory in 1994 with GEF/UNEP funding • Inventory was updated in 1995 under the U.S. Country Studies Programme • Covered: Energy, Industrial Processes, Solvents, Agriculture and Savannah Burning, Land Use Change and Forestry, and wastes

  4. Industrial Processes • Cement production (Two Factories) • Lime Production • Foam Mattress Production • Solvents (Paint and Dry Cleaning industries)

  5. Problems Encountered • Insufficient Data (Many small lime producers- efficiency not known, Gaps, Not digitized) • Lack of Transparency in Data release (Awareness, Weak inter-institutional collaboration) • Lack of National Emission Factors – IPCC Default Factors used • Lack of relevant Policies (Collection and storage of relevant data) • Lack of follow-up activities (Limited Funds)

  6. Recommendations • Awareness raising for key Stakeholders (data collection and storage) • Government to develop climate policy • Sensitization of relevant bodies on data collection (Uganda Manufacturers Association, Uganda Investment Authority, Uganda National Bureau of Standards)

  7. Recommendations (contd) • Determination of Local Emission Factors under the Enabling Activities Phase II • Up-dating the Inventory as part of compilation of the 2nd National Communication • GEF and other donors should provide funding for follow-up activities
