TERMS OF REFERENCE (ToRs) FOR EXTERNAL AUDIT.

Environmental Alert, in partnership with Südwind Verein für Entwicklungspolitik und globale Gerechtigkeit, is implementing the project “Resilient Communities to Health and Climate Change Hazards in Uganda (RCHCH-U),” supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection.

The project has a duration of 24 months (01 November 2024 – 31 October 2026) and aims to improve the resilience of health centres, schools, and vulnerable communities, particularly women, school-going children, and the elderly, in the disaster-prone and conflict-affected districts of Kasese and Ntoroko in the Rwenzori Region of Uganda.

The project improves access to energy, sanitation, and hygiene services by constructing and rehabilitating WASH facilities in schools and health centres. It also promotes community awareness and education by strengthening the capacity of Village Health Teams (VHTs), School Health Clubs (SHCs), and Health Unit Management Committees (HUMCs), while enhancing sustainable livelihood opportunities to reduce poverty and food insecurity.

National Tree Planting Day.

About the ROOTS Campaign and The National Tree Planting Day 2026.

The Running Out of Trees (ROOTS) Campaign is a nationwide tree-planting initiative launched in 2019 by the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) to promote the planting of at least one tree per Ugandan annually. The campaign builds on Uganda’s 2014 Bonn Challenge commitment to restore 2.5 million hectares of degraded landscapes by 2030 and is implemented in partnership with the private sector, development partners, civil society organisations and other stakeholders. ROOTS focuses on reforestation, landscape restoration and forest conservation to address forest loss and climate change. The campaign runs throughout the year and culminates in the National Tree Planting Day (NTPD). The 2026 NTPD, initially scheduled for 2 October at NaFORRI, Mukono, has been postponed to 27 November 2026. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
