PRESS RELEASE

13th November 2026

*RESOLUTIONS OF THE BCD-CAU PIONEER MODEL DISTRICTS STAKEHOLDERS’ MEETING ON THE ROLLING OUT OF SCHOOL GARDENS AND SOYA MILK SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM BY ALL PRIMARY SCHOOLS STARTING 2027.*

On Tuesday, 10th November 2026, the Busoga Consortium for Development (BCD) convened a multisectoral stakeholders’ meeting bringing together representatives from the three pioneer Local Governments of the Village Agricultural Model (VAM) programme i.e. Kamuli, Mayuge, and Namayingo, alongside representatives from the Busoga Kingdom and the BCD Secretariat, led by the Director General (DG/BCD)

The meeting was convened to review the progress of the BCD–China Agricultural University (CAU) Soya Milk School Feeding Programme, currently being piloted in three model villages: Busana (Kamuli District), Mashaiga (Mayuge District), and Namayingo's Namayombe Village. Discussions also focused on establishing a sustainable framework to expand the school feeding initiative from the pioneer model schools to all primary schools across the three pilot districts.

The meeting was chaired by the host, Mr. Kaloli Sanoni Dhizaala, LCV Chairperson of Kamuli District. Other key stakeholders in attendance included LCV Chairpersons, Resident District Commissioners (RDCs), Chief Administrative Officers (CAOs), Busoga Kingdom Ministers of Education and Agriculture, District Education Officers (DEOs), District Production Officers (DPOs), District Inspectors of Schools (DISs), District Planners, and members of the BCD Secretariat.

Soya bean production and the Soya Milk School Feeding Programme are core interventions under the Village Agricultural Model (VAM), designed to address the long-standing challenge of pupil nutrition and school feeding across Busoga. The program will also address matters of value addition, schools’ incorporation of practical agriculture into teaching programmes, Food security at the community level, income generation, among others.

Drawing on lessons from Buteme Light SDA Primary School in Busana Model Village (serving as the principal demonstration school), alongside St. Joseph Bukoba Primary School in Mashaiga Model Village and Majoga Primary School in Namayombe Model Village, and building on shared insights from leaders during the meeting, the stakeholders resolved as follows:

*1* .District Policy Support: The three pioneer Local Governments of Kamuli, Mayuge, and Namayingo shall collaborate to draft and pass district ordinances mandating the establishment and management of school gardens by all primary schools in support of the school feeding programme before June 2027.

*2* .Strengthening School garden program: Operating an active soya bean and maize school garden shall be incorporated as a key performance evaluation indicator for all primary school head teachers. Failure by any primary school to maintain an operational garden will result in the demotion of the responsible head teacher to a classroom teacher.

*3* .District Multisectoral Coordination Committee: All pioneer districts shall constitute and operationalize a Multisectoral Coordination Committee before the start of Term 1, 2027, to oversee programme implementation. Each committee shall comprise the LCV Chairperson, RDC, CAO, District Speaker, DEO, DPO, DIS, District Planner, and District Nutrition Officer.

*4* .Role of Parents and the Community: All Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) are urged to mobilize parents and local communities to actively support the programme by cultivating soya beans and maize to supplement yields from the school gardens.

*5* .Provision of Agricultural Inputs: The LCV Chairpersons of Kamuli, Mayuge, and Namayingo, working in collaboration with the Office of the DG/BCD, shall mobilize at least 50 hoes per primary school to support the smooth rollout of the gardens.

*6* .Stakeholder Mobilization and Orientation: District Chairpersons, in collaboration with DEOs, shall convene briefing meetings for all primary school head teachers in their respective districts to orient them on these resolutions prior to the start of Term 1, 2027.

*7* .Peer Learning and Benchmarking Visits: The three pioneer districts shall organize reciprocal exchange visits to share best practices, learn from successful models, and strengthen implementation.

*8* .Activation of Agricultural Extension Services: Districts shall ensure that Sub-County Agricultural Officers provide active, hands-on technical support for the establishment and maintenance of school gardens.

*9* .Procurement of Soya Milk Processing Units: The BCD Ministerial Committee shall be engaged to lobby the Ministry of Education and Sports to prioritize budget allocations for procuring and distributing soya milk processing units to all government primary schools in the Busoga sub-region.

*10* .Scaling Up to Other Districts in Busoga: District leaders across the wider Busoga sub-region are encouraged to adopt these resolutions as the BCD prepares to scale up the School Garden and Soya Milk School Feeding Programme to all remaining Local Governments.

Mr. Makubo Stephen, Headteacher of Buteme Light SDA Primary School in Kamuli District, shares a report on the impact of the (BCD)–China Agricultural University (CAU) Soya Milk School Feeding Programme.

In his report, he highlights improvements in learner attendance, classroom participation and nutrition, alongside the school's agricultural initiatives, including the establishment of a 950-bird hybrid poultry project to support long-term sustainability.

He also appreciates BCD, Government, Rt. Hon. @RebeccaKadagaUG for her support, while calling for continued investment in school infrastructure and agricultural initiatives.

One of the key resolutions from the high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Kamuli District was to strengthen parental involvement in the school feeding programme.

Through Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs), parents will be mobilised and encouraged to grow soya beans and establish agricultural enterprises to supplement produce from school gardens, ensuring a sustainable and reliable supply of food for learners, as school gardens alone may not be sufficient to sustain the school feeding programme.

Yesterday in Kamuli District, I joined district leaders from the three BCD–CAU Model Villages of Busana (Kamuli), Mashiaga (Mayuge) and Namyombe (Namayingo), alongside Busoga Kingdom Minister and district technical officers, for a high-level stakeholders’ meeting to discuss strategies for strengthening the implementation and long-term sustainability of the BCD–China Agricultural University (CAU) Benchmark Soya Milk School Feeding Programme.

I called for stronger coordination among local governments, schools, parents and development partners to promote local ownership, effective implementation and long-term sustainability of the programme across Busoga’s three Model Villages.

The meeting brought together CAOs, RDCs, district chairpersons and technical officers, alongside Busoga Kingdom minister for agriculture to agree on practical strategies for improving learner nutrition, school attendance and agricultural productivity.

Sustainable school feeding is a shared responsibility. Together, we can build healthier learners, stronger schools and more productive communities.

@JaneBarekye @KagutaMuseveni @StateHouseUg Congratulations Mama @JaneBarekye on your reappointment. I wish you many more blessings.

[Dr. Mula Anthony @mulanthony]

Dear Ms. Lucy Nakyobe @LNakyobe

I wish to extend my warmest congratulations to you on your well-deserved reappointment as the Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet by H.E. @KagutaMuseveni

Your renewed mandate is a clear testament to your exceptional leadership, integrity, and deep commitment to the development of our nation. Your first tenure has been defined by landmark accomplishments that have significantly elevated the standard of public administration in Uganda.

In particular, your outstanding stewardship as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Organising Committee for the 19th NAM Summit and the G77+China Third South Summit was highly exceptional. Under your meticulous supervision, Uganda hosted these historic global events with flawless organization, bringing immense pride and international acclaim to our country.

Furthermore, your deliberate drive toward digitization, re-engineering, and automation of government systems has fundamentally modernized public service delivery. By tying institutional performance directly to technology and accountability, you have injected a renewed culture of results, discipline, and efficiency across all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.

During your continued tenure, I wish to interest you further into the improvement of the functioning of the district service commissions. These are very important organs for the improvement of service delivery at the Local Government levels but face a big challenge of political interference and the threat of corruption.

I wish you continued wisdom, good health, and success as you lead the Public Service to even greater heights.

School feeding is not merely about providing meals to learners, it is an investment in their health, concentration, academic performance and future.

My appreciation to Muzeei Kirunda Sanoni for his generous contribution.

[Busoga Consortium for Development Official @BusogaConsorti1]

Meet Mr. Kirunda Sanoni, Chairperson of the Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) at Buteme Light SDA Primary model School in Busana Village, Kamuli District.

He generously donated land to facilitate soya bean growing at the model school, demonstrating the importance of community participation in advancing sustainable school feeding programmes.

As we operationalize Phase I of the BCD–China Agricultural University (CAU) benchmarked Soya Milk School Feeding Programme, efforts are also underway to revive school gardens across local governments in the Busoga sub-region.

Through this initiative, we are championing a sustainable approach to school feeding by promoting soya bean production, Reviving school gardens and improving learners' access to nutritious meals.
