Deadline: 23-May-23
The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is inviting proposals to build capacity within key government authorities in Uganda to implement the standards, including through a mandatory vehicle inspection programme.
This project responds to a request made by the Ministry of Water and Environment of Uganda to build capacity for the implementation of EURO 4/IV emission standards.
Successful delivery of this project will require close coordination and engagement across several line ministries, including the Ministry of Works and Transport, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Water and Environment, Ministry Finance, Planning and Economic Development, and Ministry of Local Government. This project may also include participation of city and municipal authorities, the National Environment Management Authority, and National Planning Authority.
This project is expected to launch in Q1 2024.
