Since 2022, SHA has supportedl 5,992 smallholders in Kiryandongo and Adjumani, 60% of
whom are women and at least 40% of whom are youths, to promote their participation in an inclusive
agri-food system. The results to date, which are explored in this report, demonstrate that 72.4% of
smallholders are engaged in viable business ventures because of business skills capacity building,
68.2% of the target farmers have increased production of key crops such as maize, beans, groundnuts,
sesame and soya bean, 96.5% have accessed financial services informally through VSLAs, and at least
53% reported improvement in market access influencing factors such as better transport facilities,
access to buyers and access to market information.
