POLICY BRIEFS

POLICY BRIEF- NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR FLOOD RESILIENCE

Flooding is a recurring disaster in Uganda’s mountainous, rural landscapes—especially in the River Nyamwamba catchment. While Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) like buffer zone restoration and on-farm tree planting offer effective, low-cost flood resilience, their adoption remains limited.

This policy brief shares key findings from a recent study in the Nyamwamba catchment, highlighting how flood experience, access to risk information, and household land use dynamics influence NbS uptake. It offers practical recommendations for scaling nature-based solutions for flood resilience in river Nyamwamba catchment and similar rural agricultural-mountainous landscapes.
