ESAFF Uganda ESAFF Uganda is the largest small-scale farmer-led policy influencing organisation in Uganda.

A grassroots small-scale farmers' organisation in more than 50 districts in Uganda. Eastern and Southern Africa Small Scale Farmers Forum (ESAFF – Uganda) is a Small Scale Farmers’ national umbrella which was formed in 2002 as a direct response to the need to create a forum where Small Scale Farmers are able to deliberate on and voice their concerns. The forum was established to bring together small scale farmers into a social movement to build common aspirations, learning and linkages. It brings together small scale crop farmers, pastoralists and traditional fisher folks.

"Across communities, there is still a challenge of limited access to clear land information, over-reliance on brokers, restricted access to officials, and weak institutional capacity which continue to deny communities timely and fair land services. There is a need for enhancing coordination with traditional authorities, strengthening grievance redress and whistleblower protection mechanisms while scaling up land rights and anti-corruption awareness campaigns."- Judith Atukunda, Surveyor- Landnet Uganda
