UGANDA NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION WEEK 2026,

Uganda’s agricultural sector stands at a defining moment of transformation, where the demand for food is rapidly increasing, markets are evolving, and climate, technological, and socio-economic pressures are reshaping how agriculture is practiced and supported. Within this context, the Uganda National Agricultural Extension Week 2026 (UGNAEW2026) provides a critical national platform for reflection, learning, and strategic action on the future of Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services (AEAS).

The event brings together government, academia, private sector actors, civil society, and farmer organizations to deliberate on how a more coordinated, professional, and innovation-driven extension system can unlock Uganda’s agricultural potential.

Why it Matters!

The importance of this convening lies in its ability to address persistent systemic challenges, including fragmented extension service delivery, weak coordination among actors, limited professionalization of extension workers, and inadequate integration of digital tools and market systems. At the same time, it builds on emerging opportunities, including public-private partnerships, digital agriculture innovations, and multi-actor collaboration models that are already demonstrating success in improving productivity and farmer livelihoods.

UGNAEW2026 is therefore not just a dialogue platform, but a strategic milestone for shaping a more resilient, inclusive, and market-oriented agri-food system. It seeks to reposition extension services as a professional, accountable, and demand-driven system that effectively connects farmers to knowledge, technologies, and markets.
