UNYFA

UNYFA is an initiative of Uganda National Farmers’ Federation started in 2015 being an umbrella organization for all agro-based youths in Uganda.

UNYFA is driven by the desire to have a holistically transformed youth in agriculture for a sustainable economy: its target group is of youth between 12 to 39 years of age who are rural and/or urban agro-based and young farmers in and out of school/ Institutions. Due to diverse interests of farmer groups/farmers’ based organizations, young farmers need specific training; UNYFA provides platforms for these youths where they can express and acquire tailor-made training.

UNYFA Set to Empower 800 Young Farmers Across 8 Districts in Uganda.

These include Masaka, Mubende, Ssembabule, Nakasongola, Jinja, Kamuli, Buyende and Iganga.

This followed a new collaboration as we joined We Effect as a new implementing partner, launching a 3-year programme.

The Strengthening Food Rights & Livelihoods programme is designed to support the realisation of the right to food for women, young people, and children, while building community resilience and fostering equitable, sustainable food systems.

Through the Resilient Young Farmers Initiative for Sustainability & Empowerment Project (RISE), 800 young farmers across 8 districts will benefit from strengthened youth-led agriculture, enhanced climate resilience, and inclusive markets.

Our continued commitment to women empowerment is demonstrated by the impact we have made over the last 3 years through the Enhancing the Capacity of Rural Women in Agribusiness (ECAWA) project.

"About 87% of the women acquired leadership skills, 40 women took part in the international exchange and training programmes, and 95.5% successfully implemented new transfer ideas, exceeding the 70 percent target," reveals Gina Krebs, Project Manager, ECAWA.

Rural women from farmer-based organisations have been empowered through capacity building. The women were given startup capital worth UGX 1.2 million.

Our cooperation with the German Association of Rural Women, dlv, made this joint action possible.

A coffee exchange program participant, Mercy Atugonza, shares her views of the program.

“Since NUCAFE is where I started my coffee journey, it was a great place for me to learn from again. I was able to learn more about coffee marketing and teaching young people how to barista.”

Mercy appreciates the opportunity to learn from her tandem partner saying, “Time management is one of the things that I learned from my tandem partner during her stay at our farm. She also enjoyed the nature walk and agrotourism activities at the farm.”

“Eleonora was able to learn about coffee from the farm to cup. We started from the coffee mother garden, pot the scions to make cuttings, and go through all stages of raising coffee seedlings. This was done based on the KR varieties, and this was done at farm holdings located in Kakiri.” Mercy explains.

She adds, “There was a lot to learn, including proper management of the main coffee garden, staking, and harvesting till production, where she got a chance to visit the Banura coffee shop.”

Stakeholder engagement facilitates collaboration, creating new ideas, leading to product and process improvements.

Additionally, it is the backbone of any successful national event, bringing together various perspectives to identify gaps and provide practical solutions that elevate overall performance.

To ensure that the national agricultural shows remain efficient, inclusive, and impactful, the Uganda National Farmers Federation (UNFFE), in collaboration with our partners Andreas Hermes Akademie (AHA), convened an evaluation workshop for the recently concluded 31st National Agricultural Show (NAS) and the 4th National Agricultural Education Show, (NAES).

The workshop aimed to review the shows’ performance and generate actionable recommendations to strengthen their effectiveness and reach but also conceptualise how the NAS and NAES will be.

“I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to each one of you for taking the time to join us today, and more importantly, for the invaluable contributions you made towards the successful organization and implementation of this year’s Show,” Perez Kawumi, Deputy CEO, UNFFE.

The stakeholders engaged included the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF), NARO, NAGRC&DB, exhibitors, school heads, and teachers etc whose contribution will facilitate improvements for future editions.

“The 31st National Agricultural Show was yet another landmark event that brought together farmers, agribusinesses, researchers, innovators, government institutions, and development partners all united by a common goal: to celebrate and promote agricultural excellence, innovation, and resilience.” He added.

Meet Ms. Nachan Janet, whose participation in the ECAWA project has empowered her community in Kotido.

Two years back, through her effort, the Kotido District Farmers Forum was born.

The group, comprising about 560 members, bulks farm produce, mainly maize, sorghum, millet and groundnuts, and markets it to achieve better prices.

Apart from engaging in bulking farm produce, Ms Nachan grows sorghum and groundnuts.

She began implementing her agribusiness idea by purchasing shea butter from farmers in the Lango subregion.

Nachan has trained the members of her group in soap processing, both solid and liquid, and the next step is for her group to engage in growing shea butter trees in order to get the materials on the farm.
