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.
