The Forest-Friendly Coffee for Climate Resilience in the Rwenzori project strengthens a commercially viable, traceable coffee value chain that improves climate resilience and incomes for smallholder farmers in Uganda’s Rwenzori region. By future-proofing production through deforestation-free and climate-smart practices, the project links restored ecosystems…
Uganda’s transport sector runs almost entirely on imported, non-renewable energy, causing alarming rates of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Meanwhile, commercial boda driving (i.e., taxi motorcycles) is one of the biggest sources of informal employment in the country. This…
This project strengthens climate-smart vanilla and cocoa value chains in Western Uganda by scaling market-driven agroforestry systems. Building on a successful DGBP maturation project, it enables smallholder farmers to produce premium-quality, certified vanilla and cocoa that meet the rising demand…
The NOURISH project brings together a partnership that wishes to explore how the Oysternut value chain can enhance climate adaptation, improve livelihoods, and boost nutritional outcomes for vulnerable refugee and host community households in Uganda. The Oysternut, native to Uganda,…
This project aims to develop a business case for sustainable coffee production and natural resource management by improving climate and income resilience of coffee farmer communities in Kanungu district, Uganda. The carbon setting and insetting pilot project is to promote…

Although 70% of Uganda’s population is employed in agriculture, low farm productivity results in their collective contribution of only 24% to the country’s GDP. The situation is further exacerbated by environmental degradation and climate change. As waste management is a…
The project aims to create an industry first ‘pay-for-impact’ model whereby carbon ‘impact units’ (verified scope 3 reductions) are produced and traded alongside agricultural commodities, creating a scalable market-based solution to environmental challenges. 4,500 farmers (male, female, youth farmers and…
The project aims to develop socially and environmentally responsible as well as transparent value chains for organic vanilla and cocoa, produced through climate-smart and biodiversity-friendly agroforestry in smallholder farms. It supports production and certification, while introducing new standards for responsible…
The project in Northern Uganda is designed to build climate resilience among smallholder farmers (including refugees, women, and youth) through the promotion of climate-smart agricultural practices and integrated water resource management, contributing to inclusive economic growth. Central to this is…
