Uganda is explicitly listed as an eligible East African Community country. Applicants must be locally based, duly registered civil-society, NGO or community-based organisations operating in an eligible mountain region and have prior experience working directly with mountain communities. Proposed projects must address a climate-change risk or vulnerability using ecosystem-based adaptation or nature-based approaches.
Mountains ADAPT funds local organisations to design and implement ecosystem-based and nature-based solutions that strengthen the resilience of mountain communities. Up to 15 projects will be funded across East Africa and the South Caucasus in the first call.
Benefits
Projects can receive up to USD 30,000 for 12 months, with no specified minimum award. Successful organisations also receive tailored capacity-development and training support. Eligible costs can include project staff and experts, equipment and materials, training, operational and administrative expenses directly linked to project implementation. Co-funding is not mandatory.
Requirements
Applicants provide organisational registration information and certificate, evidence of relevant mountain-community experience, description and evidence of the climate risk, proposed nature-based solution, beneficiaries, gender and inclusion approach and implementation capacity. Selected applicants later provide official organisational bank details and legal-representative identification.
How to apply
Complete UNEP\'s official Mountains ADAPT online application with all required organisational and project information and upload the registration certificate. Submit before 2026-09-15 at 23:59 East African Time.
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
