Agriculture is the back borne of Uganda`s economy. Over 80% of the population are involved directly in farming or depend on agriculture related services for their survival. Despite the fertile soils, favorable climate and available markets, the rural farmers have remained poor due to inadequate extension services, unguided enterprise selection, lack of information and access among others.

Team Work Afrika (TWA) in its mission and vision of addressing the millennium development goals (MDGs) has identified the following as practical solutions for poverty alleviation:

§ Good agricultural practices (GAPs)
§ Enterprise cost/benefit analysis
§ Post harvest handling and storage
§ Value addition
§ Markets and marketing linkages

Enterprise focus:
Our enterprise focus mainly relies on improving:
§ Organic farming
§ Piggery
§ Poultry
§ Apiary
§ Fish farming
§ Livestock
§ Markets and marketing linkages
§ Farming as a business
  • Piggery Project
  • Farming with Organic Manure

With the above solutions in place, the Uganda rural farmers will have their socioeconomic status improved. This means increased food security, reduced malnutrition, improved biodiversity, low pest and disease incidences with reduced gender based violence.
