Presentation transcript:

Characteristics, challenges and opportunities Mulundu, M Sseguya, H Outline

Characterization Share of agricultural sector in the three countries (GDP, employment) Description of who does what among the population and their access to key resources (women, youth, land holdings) Prevalence of poverty, hunger and malnutrition (compared to 2014 figures in proposal document on Wiki)

Challenges/constraints Yields below potential Land degradation Low soil fertility (inherent) Pests and diseases Vagaries of weather/climate variability Low use of proven agronomic practices as a result of inadequate access to information/extension, unreliable agro input supply systems Institutional barriers - poor markets for inputs and farm products, poor farmer organization)

Challenges/constraints contd … Livestock specific – lack of quality feed and pasture, management practices and breeds Postharvest management (losses) and processing Nutrition – dietary practices, food safety issues

Opportunities… Supportive policies/plans for agriculture Local partners – public and private Innovations from Africa RISING phase 1 will be refined and packaged for scaling with relevant partners
