dc.descriptionThe overall objective of this action is to boost the transformation of Uganda towards an inclusive green economy by enhancing the sustainability and competitiveness of a key sector for the country, as it is the Tourism Sector. To attain this, the action aims at equipping MSMEs of the Tourist Accommodation Sector in Uganda to implement Best SCP Practices and Environmental Management Systems (EMS ISO14001), ensuring not only compliance with internationally recognized best environmental practices, but also favouring the creation of decent jobs. At the same time, the action will foster sustainable consumption by consumer awareness raising campaigns and supporting MSMEs of the Tourism Sector on an eco-labelling scheme implementation. Finally, special attention will be paid to enable policy environments for SCP and linking MSMEs to financial institutions.en
