The Uganda Water and Environment Week (UWEWK) promotes sustainable socioeconomic transformation through advocacy, knowledge exchange, and partnerships. The upcoming event, UWEWK2025, will focus on resilience in water and environmental management. It calls for collaborative efforts from various stakeholders to address Uganda’s pressing environmental challenges, emphasizing the importance of regenerative practices.
The Uganda Water and Environment Week (UWEWK) is an annual event organized by the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) through the Water Resources Institute (WRI). Launched in 2018, it aims to foster sustainable socioeconomic transformation in Uganda, serving as a platform for knowledge exchange, advocacy, and dialogue to enhance the country’s water and environmental resources. High-level participation from various stakeholders consistently marks this event, including political leaders and local governments.
UWEWK serves as a vital platform for fostering discussions on sustainable water and environmental management strategies in Uganda. The call to action stresses the necessity for collaborative efforts involving government, civil society, and the private sector. Initiatives must focus on implementing climate-smart practices while empowering communities, particularly vulnerable groups, to foster resilience against environmental changes. By acting collectively, Uganda can achieve a sustainable, equitable future for all its citizens.
