Today I participated in the National cooperative Database Launch and Stakeholders engagement by AMEA, SCOPEinsight, @AgriterraUG and many other development partners. Key takeaway away is for Development Partners to showcase our works to the Agricultural Donor Working groups.

Lack of internal capitalization is one of the key reasons why cooperatives are having hard times to survive, grow, compete and realise business. That's why @agriterra organised a workshop for Kisoro Union to internally find ways to build internal capital @crafteastafrica

The youth of P'kwi taking the youth from kumi through the sunflower value chain, an exchange visit organised by UNYFA was very useful to both parties, with lots of learning, new ideas, encouragement and of course lots of fun when youth get together.

@JustusTwebaze2 @AgriterraUG @crafteastafrica It was a very exiting experience with very many other women from other Cooperatives that are supported by Agritera, we realised that apart from being underrepresented in decision making, women them selves are shy from making decisions, there is need for such trainings for women.

[Justus Twebaze @JustusTwebaze2]

Women farmers are frequently underrepresented in decision making bodies within agricultural cooperatives @AgriterraUG supports the process of building female leadership, a 3 day female leadership training for cooperatives that are co-investing with the @crafteastafrica project
