Understanding The Nature And Role Of Public Participation In Environmental Decision Making In Uganda

Author(s) Nuwagaba Collins
Country Uganda
Abstract Public participation is a key element of sustainable environmental governance, especially in Uganda, where engaging diverse stakeholders is essential to addressing environmental challenges. This paper explores the nature and role of public participation in Uganda’s environmental decision-making, focusing on its legal framework, practical implementation, and effectiveness. It examines how the public helps shape policies, assess environmental impacts, and influence decisions at both local and national levels.
Despite Uganda's progressive laws, such as the National Environment Act, public participation faces challenges like limited access to information, low awareness, and weak institutional support. This research highlights the importance of meaningful public involvement in improving environmental outcomes and fostering equity, transparency, and accountability. Strengthening public participation through capacity building, stronger legal enforcement, and partnerships between government, civil society, and communities is essential for achieving sustainable environmental governance in Uganda.
Keywords Public participation, sustainable environment governance, methods of public participation
