AGRF Deal Room 2021: Pathways to attracting impactful investments in Uganda
CASA’s Investor Summit at AGRF’s Deal Room
The session presented and discussed the process that led to and the recommendations that emerged from the action plan developed during CASA’s Agriculture Investment Summit in Uganda. The summit was an action orientated event that facilitated discussions between investors, investment stakeholders and policy makers around the key challenges and bottlenecks faced for investing in agriculture in Uganda.
Panelists offered recommendations for other countries to follow a similar approach to facilitating a consultative process for identifying and addressing agricultural investment constraints in their home countries. Additional details about the process and outcomes was reflected in the publication, A collaborative approach for government and investors to unlock investment opportunities.
