AKADEMIYA2063, in collaboration with the Makerere University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the National Alliance of Agricultural Cooperatives in Uganda (NAAC), a member of the Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF), is organizing a virtual event on October 8 to launch the AAgWa and FS-COR digital platforms. This event is a continuation of the work of the DERPIn Uganda team, which carried out analyses and developed digital platforms and tools to generate and share knowledge and evidence for use by agrifood systems actors. The project has contributed to the availability and accessibility of agricultural, environmental, and nutrition data targeted to help policymakers, planners, farmers and their organizations, researchers, and the private sector to make informed decisions, foster evidence-based planning, and drive innovation within Uganda’s agrifood systems.
The launch event aims to:
- Provide an introduction to the DERPIn analyses and findings in Uganda
- Present and demonstrate the AAgWa and FS-COR platforms to potential users
- Identify policy implications and potential applications of the DERPIn analyses and digital platforms in Uganda’s agrifood system
- Facilitate discussion on the information and evidence needs of Ugandan agrifood system actors and opportunities to foster evidence-based decision-making.
Target Audience: Policy makers; policy analysts, advisors, and planners; farmers and farmer organizations; private sector enterprises active in agrifood systems; NGOs and civil society organizations; and research organizations.
