Since 2013, the Uganda Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (UFAAS), in partnership with the African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (AFAAS); the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF); and other partners, have been organizing annual National Agricultural Extension events. The purpose of these events has always been to stimulate visibility, innovation, and learning in agricultural extension and advisory services provision. This has been achieved through creating a platform for knowledge sharing, exchange and networking among AEAS and agricultural value chain actors.

It is against that background, that a National Agricultural Extension Week in Uganda (UG-NAEW 2023) has been organized under the theme: “Unveiling innovative pluralistic AEAS approaches: Actors’ resilience and competitiveness for food security and commercialized agriculture”. The UG-NAEW 2023 will take place from 22nd -26th May 2023, at Kabira Country Club Hotel, Bukoto, Kampala. This will be preceded by regional level workshops.
