The government of Uganda and the European Union (EU) have signed a commitment that will enable the implementation of the forest restoration project that will protect Uganda’s declining forest cover.

While addressing the EU delegation at her office yesterday, the Prime Minister, Hon. Nabbanja Robinah, said the 40 million euro 10-year project that kicked off in November last year will restore the most affected forests, such as Bugoma and Mabira. New data from the UN shows that Africa lost 14,000 sq miles of tree cover in 2022.
