ECONOMIC GROWTH

USAID focuses on advancing broad-based growth by working comprehensively in specific crops (maize, beans and coffee), on improving nutrition, especially among the most vulnerable people, and on addressing the environmental aspects of the oil industry and ecotourism. USAID assistance for agriculture is aligned with the Government of Uganda’s development strategy and investment plan as outlined in the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program Compact. Other programs will build Uganda's capability to mitigate the environmental impacts of oil exploration and production. USAID’s ecotourism programs provide local communities opportunities to develop tourism businesses and services that will enhance communities’ connection to Uganda’s natural resources, which will reduce threats to biodiversity and protect Uganda’s diverse landscapes.
