Technical assistance to the developing a market - oriented and environmentally sustainable beef meat industry in Uganda

The overall objective of this project is to contribute to a competitive, profitable, job-intensive, gender-responsive and environmentally-sustainable agricultural sector in Uganda, in order to alleviate poverty and improve food and nutrition security.

The specific objective of the project is to use a holistic value chain approach in the targeted geographical areas, to leverage an increase in the overall performance (in terms of production volume, quality, value addition, increased employment and environmental sustainability) of the Ugandan meat value-chain.

The purpose of the project is to support both the public and the private sector, with a focus on smallholders and small beef-related agribusiness, to work together towards promotion of an environmentally-sustainable, climate-resilient, low-emission, local and regional meat industry - which respects as far as possible animal welfare practices and is responsive to the different needs of women and men, mainly in terms of food security, nutrition, and social welfare.

Results to be achieved:

  • Result 1: The policy, legal, regulatory and institutional framework, including standards, guidelines and best practices along the beef value chain are reviewed, updated and enforced. A particular focus will be set on women's empowerment and on mitigation of climate change/environmental impacts.
  • Result 2: Beef meat production, productivity and quality assurance in the targeted areas is enhanced, giving priority to climate smart, environmentally-sustainable, locally-developed practices including smallholder agriculture and attention to rural livelihoods and formation of producer groups, including women's groups when available.
  • Result 3: Improved marketing, transportation and value addition for beef meat from the targeted area: aiming to promote local meat consumption to stimulate the market, stimulating the demand for processed meat products, increasing safer meat processing and ensuring animal welfare practices during transportation.
