This was aimed at facilitating the provision of medium and long term financing to projects engaged in Agriculture and Agro processing, focusing mainly on commercialization and value addition.

Bamwine made the remarks during a Youth in Agro ecology and Business Learning Track Africa (YALTA) workshop in Kampala.

She informed them that there is the Small Business Recovery Fund (SBRF) that was set up by the government of Uganda to provide loans to small businesses that have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and have suffered financial distress and can show potential for recovery if provided with financial support.

Speaking at the workshop, Richard Mugisha, the Uganda Country Manager for YALTA it’s much important to empower the youths in agroecology because they’re most innovative, creative, vibrant and dynamic in realizing the core goal.

He revealed that the major aim of promoting agroecology is for the world to practice farming by organic ways that doesn’t affect the environment as well as production of organic foods that are recommended for our good health.

Meanwhile Josephine Akia the Country Coordinator the Participatory Ecological Land Use Management (PELUM) Uganda stressed that YALTA is part of them and they complement them by giving them required information regarding agro ecology through physical and mentorship.
