Uganda

FAO Uganda, in collaboration with the Government of Uganda and its partners, is driving key development projects aligned with the Uganda’s Vision 2040 strategy. 

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.
