Description

This paper discusses environmental regulation in Uganda: Successes and Challenges. The policy framework, the constitution, the framework environmental law, various sectoral environmental laws and regulations, provide a framework for environmental regulation in Uganda. More than ten years since the framework law was enacted, the country has faced numerous challenges but has also registered some successes. I shall here below outline policy considerations that informed the law and then discuss a few provisions
of the framework law and the sectoral laws that were harmonized with the framework law. I will also discuss
the successes and challenges in environmental regulation,
using a few provisions.

The laws discussed below have continued to promote the concept of conservation of natural resources and sustainable development. This section will briefly discuss the successes and challenges in the use of a few environmental regulatory tools.
