CLIMATE CHANGE

Kishu Associates is one of the leading research and capacity building consulting firm working on climate change and development in Uganda. KISHU’s aim is to develop a world-class institution that is closely related to local experience, knowledge and research in one of the countries that is most affected by climate change.

It is our mission to gain and distribute knowledge on climate change and, specifically, mitigation, adaptation and thereby helping people to adapt to climate change with a focus on the African continent. By focusing on such work in Uganda, KISHU allows local and international participants to gain direct knowledge of the issues in a real-world context. Through the expertise of Kishu Associates and its local partners, international organisations will be exposed to relevant and grounded knowledge that can be shared and transmitted around the world for the benefit of other LDCs, and their governments, donors and local international NGOs.

Target Goals

• Training future and current leaders on Climate Change and Development
• Conducting research to generate peer reviewed publications on Climate Change and Development, with a focus on Climate Change Adaptation
• Building capacity, specifically for LDCs
• Building and leading a network of partners, mainly consisting of Africa’s based institutes
