Uganda hub: Strengthening women and smallholder farmers

This sub-regional hub in East Africa is jointly managed by Kyambogo University and Gulu University in Uganda. Its primary focus is on building capacity for better research impact towards a sustainable agricultural transformation. These objectives are achieved through two specialised courses: ‘Theory of Change to Design for Research Impact’ and ‘Translating Research to Policy and Practice', and through knowledge-sharing platforms, communication and engagement activities, and by promoting the proof of concept outcomes generated by its two change projects:

• Gender-responsive Milk Value Addition and Sustainable Market Access (GEMVAM)
• Urban Food Systems Resilience to Flood and Drought Risks (RUFs)
