Consultations with beneficiary communities are an ongoing process being undertaken by the Uganda Wildife Authority and the National Forestry Authority on the ground for planning project activities within their specific localities. UWA Community Conservation Wardens continually engage with neighboring communities and undertake project-related community meetings. At the national level, the Project Coordination Unit at the Ministry of Water and Environment has also been organizing specific consultation sessions with national civil society organizations (CSO) on a regular basis, including members of the Environment and Natural Resources Civil Society 4/29/2022 Page 1 of 11 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Uganda Investing in Forests and Protected Areas for Climate-Smart Development Project (P170466) Organizations (ENR-CSO) Network.

It was designed as one of a series of management effectiveness assessment tools around the World Commission on Protected Areas Framework. It comprises a detailed questionnaire Comments: (30 questions) that covers a broad range of management effectiveness issues, with the total score for each protected area ranging from 0 to about 100. This indicator measures the adaptive capacity of resilience as modification / improvement in the ecosystem.

Baseline for this indicator will be determined based on 2020 visitor numbers (as due to the COVID pandemic, the visitor numbers are expected to drop and establishing a baseline based on the 2019 numbers would distort the baseline situation); target will be established building off this established baseline. This indicator is a proxy indicator for measuring increased tourism-related project benefits. Comments: Specifically, communities adjacent to protected areas benefit under UWA"s benefit sharing scheme, whereby 20% of all park gate proceeds are distributed to projects in adjacent communities - hence, the higher the number of visitors, the more funding is distributed to communities under this scheme. There are other benefits from tourism - such as increased employment opportunities, improved markets for local produce and handicrafts, increased tax revenue from tourism businesses that are more difficult to quantify.

The end of project target includes 270 jobs (created in wood processing hubs and tree nurseries) and 9,225 temporary jobs (in tree planting). It is expected that other jobs will be Comments: created by the project, both permanent (in community ecotourism facilities) and temporary (under contracts of technical service providers) but these are difficult to quantify before activities start. The project team will report on such jobs created through regular project reporting. This indicator measures the transformative capacity of resilience as an outcome of increased incomes.

The indicator measures the civic engagement in management of forests under the CFM and CRM arrangements and in community forests. The end of project target is Comments: based on, on average, 50 persons consulted in each community under CFM, CRM and CF and additional 100 persons around central forest reserves with the boundary demarcation activities.

The end target is set at approximately 25% of the current number of refugee households registered in settlements in the Comments: target areas, considering the scheme will be very targeted only to households with persons with special needs. Overall Comments PDO As project activities have not fully started on the ground, most values are the same as the baseline values. The METT will be next assessed at the mid-term review point.
