Uganda: Farmers will get better access to markets

A new IFAD-funded programme in Uganda will help increase incomes, boost economic growth and reduce poverty by improving farmers’ access to markets with better infrastructure. The programme will be funded partially by a US$15,000,00 IFAD loan to the Government of Uganda. The Community Agricultural Infrastructure Improvement Programme, co-financed by the African Development Bank, will cover 26 districts in central and eastern Uganda, representing about 27 per cent of the country’s land area.
