Case Studies

Case Study

Strengthening Uganda’s Agricultural Landscape

Uganda’s agricultural sector – vital to its economy and citizen livelihoods – faced significant policy and institutional barriers that hindered productivity, trade, and resilience to climate change. By applying a facilitative, adaptive process to reforming policies, increasing institutional capacity, and promoting climate resilience, Chemonics made strides towards sustainable, long-term growth.
