Our Mission
To promote safe food systems in Uganda through advocacy, capacity building, research, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
Our Vision
A Uganda where all people have access to safe, nutritious food throughout the value chain from farm to fork.
By breaking silos and working jointly, we foresee the following benefits:
An ecosystem of influence resulting from diversity, capabilities, and inter-connection of different members of the coalition. This will ensure that network members add up to more than their parts, permitting simultaneous push for safer food using different methods, platforms, financial resources, talents, and knowledge.
An opportunity for active cultivation that will facilitate shared learning, resource mobilization and convening around the issue of sustainability.
Increased likelihood of closing the salience and political deficits around food contamination in Uganda, leveraging on the already existing context-specific evidence that has greatly narrowed the information gap.
An opportunity to catalyse and facilitate review of policies, regulations and standards frameworks for better food safety governance whilst trantraitioning towards more sustainable agri-food systems.
