“This paper is an analytical comparison of the promises made by Uganda’s different
political parties in their manifestos (2011 – 2016) with regard to the measures
proposed to address the challenges facing the agriculture sector. The comparison
is along eight major areas generally considered key for agricultural growth and
development in Uganda. These areas are: agriculture sector financing; agricultural
inputs; agricultural credit for farmers; agro-processing and marketing; agricultural
education; agricultural extension and advisory services; agricultural research and
technology development; and water for agricultural production.”
