ULP: National Conference on Urban Environment

Living Earth Uganda organised a National Conference on Urban Environment in Kampala from April 21 to April 22 2008. The theme of the conference was "Enabling Urban Poor to realize their potential though partnerships".

The conference brought together policy makers and implementers, civil society organisations, private sector companies and donors in order to share lessons learnt and experiences from Living Earth's Urban Livelihoods Project.
