These initiatives are designed to enhance food and nutrition security while transforming the country’s agricultural and food systems. By focusing on improving food security and nutrition, FAO’s work supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to poverty, hunger, health, inequality, and sustainability. These projects also promote inclusive socioeconomic growth by encouraging private investment, creating employment opportunities, and increasing incomes, particularly for young people and women.
FAO works closely with the Government of Uganda to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our communication efforts emphasise strengthening partnerships, particularly with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries.

National Agricultural Research Organisation
FAO is at the heart of the UN development system (UNDS), leading efforts to tackle the world's most pressing challenges related to food and agriculture. To achieve its mandate of ending hunger, FAO collaborates closely with other UN agencies, funds and programmes, leveraging their respective strengths and comparative advantages.
United Nations Development Programme
FAO works to increase and strengthen its partnerships with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the fight against hunger and poverty. FAO recognizes that CSOs play a critical role in the fight against hunger given their technical expertise, their proximity to and representation of the hungry and poor, and their increasing presence in the field.
FAO’s programme of work can only be implemented thanks to our generous resource partners who finance and support the Organization in leading global efforts to improve and transform our global food systems and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
