About this project

The project aims to install climate-smart solar water pumps and irrigation systems in Uganda to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by replacing use of traditional petrol and diesel pumps. These systems will help farmers adapt to changing climate conditions by providing reliable year-round access to water for irrigation, thereby reducing dependence on rain-fed irrigation, particularly during dry seasons.
