The 4 Regional Climate Hubs are decentralized coordination and capacity-building centers established in Uganda’s four regions (Central, Eastern, Northern, Western). They are not new buildings, but structured regional platforms embedded within existing OPDs or partner institutions to reduce costs and increase sustainability.

Each hub will include:

1. A Regional Coordination Structure

• A designated Regional Climate Focal Person

• A structured workplan and reporting framework

2. Training & Capacity Platform

• Inclusive climate governance curriculum
• Safe evacuation and disaster preparedness training modules

3. Accessible Resource Center

• Policy briefs and advocacy materials
• Digital repository of climate resources

4. Policy & Advocacy Interface

• Quarterly engagement meetings with district councils
• Regional policy dialogue forum
• Documentation of climate inclusion gaps

5. Community Mobilization Mechanism
