We are thrilled to unveil the @ESAFFUG 2025 Impact Report, a powerful reflection of our shared efforts to advance agroecology and amplify the voices of small-scale farmers. From farmer-led initiatives to national policy engagements, this report showcases the lived experiences of small-scale farmers, the partnerships that strengthened our work, and the tangible outcomes of our shared commitment to advancing agroecology.

This week, we are in Amuru and Serere districts training Agroecology Ambassadors and selected Farmer Field School (FFS) members on the application of agroecology principles and practices under the Rooted in Diversity (RiD) project. Equipping model farmers with practical skills in agroecological practices makes them catalysts for farmer-to-farmer learning, helping more communities restore soil health through practices such as composting and accelerating the transition to sustainable, more resilient food systems. #AgroecologyNow | #FundAgroecology

Land is more than just property. It is identity, heritage, and security. Yet in many rural communities, unclear ownership and lack of documentation continue to fuel conflicts, displacements, and gender-based discrimination. To address these challenges, ESAFF Uganda, in partnership with @ministry_lands, and supported by @OxfaminUganda, @FIDAUganda and @actionaiduganda, organised #TheLandCamp2025 at Logiri Sub- County, Arua District. The initiative sought to sensitise communities about land registration, promote gender equality in land ownership, and facilitate the acquisition of Certificates of Customary Ownership (CCOs) for residents. Over 2,000 residents are expected to benefit from this initiative, with more than 500 customary land registration forms picked during the camp. The number is expected to rise as locals continue to collect the forms at the Sub-county offices, after the event. This will go a long way in addressing long-standing issues of land grabbing, boundary disputes, and injustices against women in land ownership.

Closing the #LandAwarenessWeek2025, Minister Sam Mayanja pledged to personally respond to all petitions from land actors, citizens, and local governments—a step aimed at curtailing the persistent land rights conflicts that have long plagued the Elgon and Sebei sub-regions, undermining sustainable development. With 1,754 land titles issued and several disputes addressed, the week marked a significant turning point for Bugisu and Sebei.
