Launch of Sustainable Agriculture Project in Teso

Cajila Africa Links Institute Launches Digital Agriculture Project in Teso with Dutch Support

Cajila Africa Links Institute has launched a sustainable agriculture project in the Teso sub-region, supported by Dutch donors. The project aims to improve farming efficiency, productivity, and decision-making through the integration of digital agriculture technologies.

As part of the initiative, 20 digital tablets were handed over to support farmers in accessing essential agricultural data. The project is a collaborative effort between Cajila Africa Links Institute and AUXFIN International, a Netherlands-based organization.

The launch event drew several distinguished guests, including James Small Chemtai, Acting Resident City Commissioner for Soroti City, and Shafi Nambobi, CEO of UGAFODE.

The project seeks to empower farmers with digital tools that provide critical information on weather patterns, soil types, crop suitability, and optimal planting periods. By leveraging technology, farmers will be better equipped to make informed decisions and improve their yields.

Dr. Cosmas Agweta (Ph.D), Executive Director of Cajila Africa Links Institute, urged farmers to work closely with the institute to achieve shared goals and boost agricultural productivity.

In his remarks, Commissioner James Small Chemtai stressed the importance of transparency and accountability in the use of agricultural resources and cautioned against the misuse of project funds.

This initiative is expected to bring meaningful transformation to the lives of farmers in Teso, enhancing their farming practices and increasing their productivity. With continued support from Dutch donors and AUXFIN International, Cajila Africa Links Institute is poised to drive positive change in the region’s agricultural sector.
