OUTCOME 4:
STRENGTHENING NATURAL RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT, CLIMATE RESILIENCE AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
USD 2.35 million was mobilized for
development finance and climate finance,
enabling the installation of 20 meteorological
station networks to aid real time weather
monitoring and updates
1 MegaWatt solar system at the 350 bed
Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by 200 tons
8 automatic hydrological stations were
installed in communities across the country
to observe meteorological and hydrological
elements and provide warning information to
communities.
University of Eswatini has established a
knowledge centre with three key legislation on
environmental sustainability and green energy
promotion.
Result 1: Supported Renewable Energy Expansion
The UN installed a 1 Mega Watt solar system at the
350 bed Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital. This green
energy investment is expected to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions by 200 tons of CO2/year and increase
renewable fraction by 72% in the hospital while also
reducing its energy bill by $176,714 per year. The UN
has supported the drafting of regulations for mini grids
to promote the use of renewable energy in the country.
Eight automatic hydrological stations were installed
in communities across the four regions to observe
meteorological and hydrological elements and provide
early warning information to communities. These
include Croydon on the Black Mbuluzi river, Siphofaneni
on the Usuthu river, Lubulini on the Ngwavuma river,
Bhunya on the Usuthu river, Mpisi farm on the White
Mbuluzi river, Big Bend on the Usuthu river, Mlawula on
the Mbuluzi river and Matsamo on the Lomati river.

Result 2: Enabling Policy Environment for Sustainable
Energy
The UN supported the University of Eswatini (UNESWA)
to establish a knowledge centre with 3 key legislation,
including the Environmental Authority (EA) Act, the
Eswatini Electricity Company (EEC) Act, and the
Energy Regulatory Authority Act. This included a
strategy to implement policy. Two gender inclusive
policy guidelines were disseminated, including the
Hand Hygiene for All Costed Road Map and Hand
Hygiene Markets. The UN supported the review and
finalization of the Open Defecation strategy. Five Bills
and regulations on Climate Change, Forestry, Biosafety,
Chemicals, and Ozone were initiated to address climate
change effects, with UN support.
Result 3: Increased Resource Mobilisation for Climate
Change
With UN support, a total of USD 2.35 million was
mobilized for development finance and climate finance,
enabling the installation of 20 meteorological station
networks to aid real time weather monitoring and
updates. A total of US 1.27M was mobilized to respond
to climate change risks.
Open Defecation Strategy reviewed and
finalised.
