FAO Dairy Project Inception Workshop |
|---|
|
The Uganda dairy industry has just received an encouraging boost with launch of the FAO Dairy Project (TCP/UGA/3202) worth 0.46mUSD for a period of 18 months with the purpose of updating the National Dairy Strategy as well as doing some capacity building, particularly among the stakeholder associations and unions. The project, managed by DDA Officer - Mr.Isha Muzira, comes at a timely moment when Uganda is entering the regional East Africa Community market and facing challenges improving the national 11.4m cattle base and the changing climatic conditions. One interesting focus of the project is the development of a framework to encourage the creation of mini-dairies.
The Workshop of 4th February enabled the Uganda stakeholders to get a first hand view and initial dialogue started with the project managers.

Land O'Lakes Project Review |
|
On Thursday 14 January, Land O'Lakes generously shared its evaluation findings with a number of stakeholders; farmers, farmer groups, processors and government agencies. Thanks significantly to Land O'Lakes technical and resourceful inputs, the Uganda dairy industry has seen accelerated growth, with milk production now growing a 3.6% annually, comparely to almost stagnant growth during the 1980's. The UDPA truly appreciates Land O'Lakes great assistance and patience to bring processors together in 2003 as to finally form its association. In 2004, the first Chairman of the Association then became the first Chairman of ESADA and hosted the 2nd African Dairy Conference - Exhibition in 2004 (Kampala). One of the many highlights of Land O'Lakes encouraging influence. The Association wishes Land O'Lakes well in their endeavours and cherishes the hope of their early return to Uganda for another term.
