UGANDA CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECT(UCSATP) NATIONAL STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP January 9th 2024 Presentation Outline Background: Why Climate Smart Agriculture Project relevance Agro-industrialization Whose goal is to increase commercialization and competitiveness of agricultural production and agro-processing. Regional Development That aims to accelerate equitable regional economic growth and development Climate Change, Natural Resources, Environment and Water management program That aims to stop and reverse the degradation of water resources, environment, natural resources and effects of climate change on economic growth and livelihood security The project is consistent with three Programs of NDP III Farmer education and Mobilization; Agricultural Mechanization and Irrigation, Disease Control, Partnerships with large scale Farmers ,Proactive interventions in the Fisheries sector; Increase seed production, multiplication, distribution and certification NRM Manifesto and Presidential Directives Enterprise selection; Production and Productivity; Harvesting, post harvest handling and Primary Processing, Agro-processing and Value addition; the Market Agricultural Value Chain Development Strategy (AVDS) (2021-2026) Production, Processing and Marketing (Value Chain Development); Infrastructure and Economic Services; Financial Inclusion; Community Data (Community Information System) Mindset change; ; Governance and Administration Parish Development Model 01 02 03 Project Relevance Project Development Objective(PDO) and Components PDO:To increase productivity, market access and resilience of selected value chains in the project area and to respond promptly and effectively to an eligible crisis or emergency Component 3 Component 1 Component 2 Component 4 Component 5 Strengthening Climate-Smart Agricultural Research, Seed, and Agro-Climatic Information Systems Promoting Adoption of Climate Smart Agriculture Technologies and Practices Market Development and Linkages for Selected Value Chains Contingency Emergency Response Project Coordination, Management, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning 1.0: Strengthening Climate-Smart Agricultural Research, Seed, and Agro-Climatic Information Systems This component will support the development, validation, packaging, and dissemination of context- specific CSA Technologies, Innovations & Management Practices (TIMPs) to target beneficiaries Component 1: Strengthening Climate-Smart Agricultural Research, Seed, and Agro-Climatic Information Systems Key actors: NARS Scientists, Graduate Training of Scientists (Msc, PhD) Instrument: Competitive Research Grants to help adapt TIMPS to local conditions and address emerging research issues. Supports multiplication of seed and strengthening seed systems Key actors: MAAIF, ANGRCs, NAGRC&CB, ZARD’s, private sector, farmer groups and large-scale farmers Support: Improve agro- meteorological forecasting, monitoring, data use, and soil testing Key Actors: MAAIF, UNMA, NARO, and the ZARDIs Instrument: direct financing to support real time delivery of weather information and advisories as well as soil information and advisories Support: Refurbishment and upgrade infrastructure for breed seed and improved seed
