- The Accelerating Climate Technology Transition (ACTT) project aims to foster diffusion of nationally prioritized technologies for climate mitigation (such as energy for productive use) by generating market assessments, connecting technology providers with end-users and investors and generating concepts, and financing models relevant for increasing uptake and investment into specific ‘ready to market’ climate technology solutions. Knowledge, recommendations, and models generated in the project will be fed into policy and investment mobilisation processes through facilitation, partnerships and network linkages established and/or supported by the project and specific replication opportunities will be pursued across technologies and countries. The project seeks to address two key challenges 1) the low level of linkage between technology suppliers, potential off-takers and investors; and 2) the inadequate evidence on the progress/viability of climate technologies in meeting NDC targets. The ACTT project in Uganda builds on the previous TEMARIN project on market strengthening for climate technologies. The ACTT project will have a specific focus on solar irrigation pump (SIP) technologies for smallholder agriculture. The ACTT project is implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP-CCC), supported by UNOPS, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (DANIDA). Agriculture is the lifeblood of Uganda’s economy as it employs over 70% of the population (mostly smallholder farming), contributes about 25% to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), and 33% of export earnings. Of the 80% of Uganda’s arable land area, only about 35% is cultivated to produce a variety of crops. Uganda is also reputed to be among the leading producers of coffee, bananas, oil seed crops, nuts, fresh fruit and vegetables, and essential oils. However, commercial productivity is limited by reliance on conventional methods, the changing climatic conditions, and the limited use of inputs including quality seedlings, fertilizer, pesticides, and irrigation systems. According to the World Bank, the long rainy season hitherto enjoyed by rainfed agriculture has now shortened by three months on average from nine to six months, and the dry spells within the rainy season may be further worsened. At present, only about 2% of the irrigation potential (covering 77,000 hectares of irrigated land) is utilized. Uganda’s National Irrigation Policy however, sets an ambitious target to irrigate a total of 1.5 million hectares of land by 2040 with half of the irrigation potential close to surface water resources that reduce unit cost and major infrastructure requirements. While Uganda possesses abundant freshwater resources close to the surface suitable for a more affordable micro-irrigation solutions, previous interventions have mostly focused on much larger and costly irrigation schemes connected to the grid for large commercial farmers, and only limited intervention exists for smallholder farmers who dominate the agriculture sector and are equally facing the challenges of drought. Small-scale irrigation systems offer several benefits including flexibility, modularity, technology sharing, affordability, water efficiency and rapid returns. Business models exist for small-scale irrigation solutions capable of serving 1 - 2 hectares of land and where investment costs can be recouped in less than 3 years. Despite the obvious benefits, only 1% of farmers in Uganda adopt irrigation technologies that mostly rely on diesel power which offers lower upfront cost compared to its solar counterpart which offers a relatively lower maintenance cost. Also, the smallholder agriculture market (which includes a significant proportion of women farmers) is often overlooked due to their limited ability to meet the high upfront costs of solar irrigation pumps. On the other hand, the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) estimated that over 100 million solar water pumps could be installed in Af
