Strategies for attracting investment in Uganda's renewable energy initiatives need to target global nvestment. To attract foreign investors’ participation in the Ugandan electricity sector, hard currency denominated contracts are required to mitigate foreign exchange risk. The Electricity Regulatory Authority is seeking support to assess various options to further balance economic and financial viability of renewable energy investments.

This Technology Transfer Advances Uganda's

• Nationally Determined Contribution to "increase the amount of renewable energy capacity by at least 1,100 Mega Watts compared to business- as- usual by 2030, generating an estimated 4.6 - 5.2 Tera watts (TWh) (million watts) more than in the business-as-usual scenario case. Technologies include hydro, solar, biomass and geothermal".

The CTCN Forum was an occasion to develop and strengthen the regional network of NDEs and their relationship with other technology stakeholders, with a view to identify matchmaking opportunities to CTCN requests or other climate technology activities. Participants dioscussed the Paris Outcome in relation to Technology Transfer and Technology Mechanism, linkages between the Technology and Finance Mechanism; as well as shared experiences on set up and activities of NDEs at national level and use of CTCN Technical Assistance.

The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) presents its Progress report (2014- August 2015), which highlights CTCN results in key services (technical assistance, access to information and scaling up international collaboration). 

The aim of this CTCN Webinar on water adaptation technologies is to introduce the participants to climate change issues, adaptation and technologies in water resources management and in water dependent sectors, respectively.

Key documents

In this webinar, Grant Ballard-Tremeer, founder and director of Eco (a member of CTCN), presented the elements of good practice in low-carbon climate resilient project development.
