This report presents a roadmap for promoting policy changes to attract more agricultural investment in Uganda and documenting the steps required for achieving that goal.

This report will facilitate access and communication between capital providers and stakeholders as it is aimed towards unlocking more investment opportunities in the Ugandan agricultural sector.

This paper provides a focus around the core underlying issues preventing agricultural investments in the country and used a participatory approach to develop an action plan to address these issues. The three themes addressed were (i) forms of capital – understanding the issues related to the mobilization of finance at both the SME and farmer levels, (ii) the enabling environment – analysing the regulatory environment and operational infrastructure, particularly in the context of export-oriented agriculture, and (iii) technical assistance (TA) – interrogating the importance of blending advisory support with finance in emerging markets, and the best ways of delivering this. This will assist investors on narrowing their focus when devising a plan to access investment opportunities.
