Financing Agricultural Research In Uganda

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.
