Company Description
BACKGROUND
The focus of the project is to implement a Climate Smart Jobs (CSJ) program, focusing on Northern Uganda as part of the UK’s International Climate Finance commitment. CSJ Component One is a part of the CSJ program, and its objective is to support large-scale job creation in the agri-business sector, aiming to improve productivity and/or incomes in agriculture. The program is seeking innovative, technology-based solutions to address issues faced by agriculture in Northern Uganda, promoting sustainable land management practices and climate adaptation, and job opportunities. The program is funded by the UK’s International Climate Fund and is built on the UK-funded Northern Uganda – Transforming the Economy through Climate Smart Agriculture (NU-TEC) program. CSJ Component One consists of three components: Component 1A, which is a market systems development intervention, Component 1B, which is running a challenge fund called the “Uganda Climate Innovation Fund”, and Component 1C which builds on the market system development approach but focuses on ecosystem services/sustainable land management.
