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.Item Analysis of the Dynamics and Obstacles to the Adoption of Technological Innovations: the Case of Rice Farming in Togo(FARA, 2018-02) Alpha T, Bonfoh B, Kpemoua K, Koussa D, Zoupoya K.Item Application of artificial intelligence andsatellite imagery to support pastoralists for Rangeland management(FARA, 2025-06) Abozar Nasirahmadi, Oliver HenselItem Assessment of public private partnership model of solid waste management system in the La Dade - Kotopon Municipality(FARA, 2022-10) Ollenu E.A, Ansa E.D.O, Awuah E.Item Assessment of The Micronutrient Dynamics of Northern Ghana, Supported by Gamma Ray Measurement(FARA, 2025-06) Chike O.
