This statement focuses on the Karamoja and West Nile sub-regions, two areas that face unique and pressing challenges in water and environmental management. These regions are not only ecologically fragile but also socioeconomically marginalized, making them particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, resource degradation, and inequitable access to water and environmental resources.
By addressing the specific issues in Karamoja and West Nile, this statement aligns with the four sub-themes of UWEWK 2025 and provides actionable recommendations to enhance resilience, improve livelihoods, promote climate justice and sustainable development in these regions.
Karamoja and West Nile sub-regions are at the forefront of Uganda’s water and environmental challenges, yet they also hold immense potential for sustainable development.

This statement provides a roadmap for enhancing resilience, improving livelihoods, promoting climate justice, and promoting equitable and sustainable resource management in Karamoja and West Nile, in line with the sub-themes of UWEWK 2025.
