Kabarole District leaders have called for closer teamwork to make the Uganda Climate Smart Agriculture Transformation Project work on the ground.
The call was made by theAssistant Resident District Commissioner Asaba Frank, who yesterday urged technical staff, extension workers and service providers to coordinate closely and put farmers’ interests first.
The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Shiba Ntungire, asked extension workers to take services closer to communities and give farmers practical guidance.
The project runs across 15 lower local governments, covering coffee, livestock, crops, fisheries and beekeeping. It has a budget of 225 million shillings, and more than 60 million has already reached beneficiary groups.
The Project Focal Person Solomon Musinguzi says the main challenges are weak farmer mobilization and the lack of organized farmer groups. He is calling for stronger community organization to improve access to support.
