Abstract
As part of increasing the availability and usage of evidence
among policy makers in influencing agriculture budget
decisions, Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group1 (CSBAG)
has produced a policy brief on financing agriculture
research. This policy brief explores funding challenges
associated with agricultural research in Uganda focusing
on NARO as the mandated institution. The brief highlights
the funding gaps faced by NARO, expenditure priorities of
the institution, current funding sources and their reliability,
beneficiary perceptions regarding research outcomes, and
policy alternatives available for turning around the sector
through research and technology development.
