3.0 THE 1999 STRATEGY & FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT & APPLICATION OF IK The IK Stakeholder Consultative Workshop held in 1999 to develop a National Strategy Framework for the development and utilization of IK. The World Bank supported the workshop.

THE 1999 STRATEGY & FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT & APPLICATION OF IK (continued) 3 key structural and physical constraints hampering the wider and optimal utilization and integration of IK in the national development process identified: i)Lack of qualified manpower ii)Absence of organizational structures & a mechanism to coordinate the activities to capture, validate & share IK nationally & regionally iii)Limited financial resources

THE 1999 STRATEGY & FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT & APPLICATION OF IK (continued) A National IK Steering Committee with secretariat at UNCST established to guide the process of IK development and application. Its membership comprised of IK committed individuals from government, private sector, civil society organizations as well as IK bearers and practitioners.

Potential areas for IK application in agriculture, health & natural resource management identified thru studies taken. Capacity of different IK stakeholders (practioners, bearers, & users, policy makers, research scientists, NGOs, CBOs, the University, etc) built in different methods of IK documentation, information sharing & advocacy.

OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT (Continued) Community-based IK Resource Centers established have facilitated communities to start documenting IK in different sectors of the economy in their respective communities, contributing to development of local content & sharing it among themselves. Nurturing of Communities of IK practice. Capacity built among institutions in approaches to integrate IK into their operations, hence bringing IK into mainstream operations

An IK Strategy for implementing the PEAP objectives incorporated in the 2004 PEAP review process to incorporate IK. The strategy defined key IK issues to be addressed & strategies to implement the PEAP. Monitoring indicators were also defined.

7.0 ACTION PLAN FOR INTEGRATION OF IK INTO THE PEAP Addressed the need to mainstream IK in the overall national development process & provides for a systematic & coordinated approach for integrating Uganda’s IK or traditional knowledge systems & practices in the implementation of the PEAP A product of the World Bank supported project on institutional capacity building for integration of IK into the PEAP & seeks to mainstream IK in the development process. The Action Plan outlines the objectives of integration of IK & defines strategies for achieving them

10.0 OTHER EFFORTS TO INTEGRATE IK IN DEVELOPMENT In Government Institutions At the Community level In the Private Sector

11.0 CHALLENGES TO THE INTEGRATION PROCESS Inadequate recognition of IK as an important tool for development. Inadequate documentation of IK, hence its loss on death of bearer. Limited benefits of IK products & services to a few people who appreciate it. The modernization drive of the economy which renders IK backward. Lack of IP laws to protect IK Inadequate resources to sustain IK programmes. Limited stakeholder participation in the integration process
