Sustain Africa's
work in Uganda

The 2022 Sustain Africa programme was rolled out in Uganda in August 2022 and finished in February 2023. Input suppliers Yara and ETG offered 20,000 MT of discounted fertilizer to 100,000 farmers in all regions and 114 districts in the country. Concessional funding was provided by Rabobank. AFAP was the implementing partner in Uganda.

For the 2023- 2024 season, a target of 18,000MT of fertilizer from Sustain Africa partners Grainpulse, Unifert and ETG will be supplied to 180,000 farmers, along with extension services and seed. AFAP is the implementing partner.

Overview of the
situation in Uganda

Agriculture contributes 25% to Uganda’s GDP and employs 80% of the population. The Government of Uganda recognises that the agriculture sector is central to the achievement of its development aspirations as articulated in Vision 2040 to transform Uganda from a predominantly low-income country to a competitive upper middle-income country. Achieving this requires increasing agricultural production and productivity using productivity-enhancing inputs particularly fertilizers. Fertilizer use in Uganda is extremely low (on average 1.5 kg per hectare per year) compared to neighbours Kenya with 32Kg/ha, Rwanda with 29Kg/ha and Tanzania with 6kg/ha. The country shows some of the highest soil nutrient losses in the world. The urgent need to increase fertilizer use levels and access in Uganda is emphasized in third National Development Plan (NDP111) 2020/21-2024/25 which targets an increase fertilizer adoption from 2.5kgs to 25 kgs per hectare. The Government launched an e-voucher system in 2019 to subsidize agri-inputs as part of the Agriculture Cluster Development Project in partnership with the World Bank. The system will end in 2023 .
