Facilitating agricultural led inclusive economic growth in Southwestern, Eastern, Northern Uganda and Karamoja Region

Background

The Feed the Future Inclusive Agricultural Market Activity (FtF IAM) is a five-year program implemented by DAI Global Inc. The Activity seeks to increase incomes and improve the livelihood of households through agriculture-led inclusive economic growth in 38 districts across four zones in Uganda (Southwestern, Mount Elgon area, Karamoja and parts of Northern Uganda). Layered on the principles of inclusive market systems, inclusivity refers to the active participation and engagement of all actors looking to participate in the market system including the poor, women, youth, ethnic minorities, or other marginalized groups who are often excluded or even exploited by the traditional market systems.

The Activity will contribute to the Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) Uganda Country plan goal of reducing hunger, malnutrition and poverty and the USAID/Uganda Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) 2016-2021 five-year goal of strengthening Uganda's systems to accelerate inclusive education, health and economic outcomes. FtF IAM adopts a market systems development (MSD) approach that aims to work with key actors in the agricultural markets to generate opportunities within the agricultural sector that are inclusive of women, youth and other marginalized groups. FtF IAM will focus on cross-market functions that improve efficiencies in the market systems.
