National Plan for Management of Wildlife Outside UWA Protected Areas 2021/22-2030/31.

The wildlife management plan for areas outside protected zones in Uganda delineates five strategic programs with specific outputs. These programs address ecosystem management, community conservation, ecological monitoring and research, capacity development, and governance and corporate affairs. Objectives include regulating fires, combating poaching, controlling encroachment, minimizing human-wildlife conflicts, promoting wildlife-based enterprises, conducting research studies, establishing management zones, and enhancing stakeholder coordination. Implementation necessitates the involvement of various stakeholders, with an estimated cost of UGX 91.7 billion over 10 years, emphasizing the need for effective communication and collaboration among governmental bodies, local communities, private sector entities, and civil society organizations to achieve sustainable wildlife management outcomes.

Urgent measures have been implemented to protect the environment and natural resources, with the Vision outlining strategies for wildlife conservation and addressing challenges contributing to biodiversity loss within the country.
