About US:
Uganda Vision 2040
has the primary aim of seeing Uganda become a middle income country by 2040. To
bring about this Vision the Government of Uganda (GoU) has development a number
of supporting plans, policies and strategies, but all fall within the National
Development Plan II (NDP2). The NDP2 mentions a number of strategic
agricultural commodity options which it believes, if supported and grown, can
help move Uganda towards its Vision 2040. One of the commodity sectors
mentioned is the livestock sector, and in particular Uganda’s ability to
produce some of the best beef in Africa. However, for this to be achieved a
number of sector challenges need to be addressed including; outdated and
non-enforced policies, poor production, productivity and quality assurance
practices, and marketing and processing facilities which do not meet current
international standards.
