    Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services Policy-Oriented Proceedings: Discussions and Recommendations – Enabling Private Sector-Led Agricultural Extension and Sustainable Last-Mile Service Delivery in Uganda
    (AFAAS, 2026) AFAAS, UFAAS
    This publication documents the proceedings, discussions, and policy recommendations emerging from the Uganda National Agricultural Extension Week 2026 (UGNAEW2026), held under the theme “Unlocking Uganda’s Agricultural Potential: Multi-actor Extension and Advisory Services for Resilient, Digital and Market-Oriented Food Systems.” The proceedings focus on strengthening Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services (AEAS) in Uganda through private sector-led approaches, digital transformation, agroecology, professionalization, and market-oriented service delivery. The report synthesizes keynote presentations, policy dialogues, thematic sessions, case studies, workshops, and stakeholder consultations involving government institutions, research organizations, extension practitioners, farmer organizations, development partners, and private sector actors. It identifies systemic challenges affecting Uganda’s extension ecosystem, including fragmented coordination, weak regulatory frameworks, inadequate professionalization, limited digital integration, insufficient market orientation, and low private sector incentives. The proceedings conclude with comprehensive policy recommendations aimed at repositioning extension systems as market-driven, digitally enabled, professionalized, and partnership-based systems capable of supporting resilient and competitive agrifood systems in Uganda.
