Abstract:

AT Uganda Ltd. (Appropriate Technology Uganda Limited) implemented the DFID (Department for International Development) funded LIFE Project (1999-2003) in six Districts. It addressed food and income insecurity by improving the quality/quantity of key food security crops and appropriate production practices. An external impact assessment found significant achievement of project targets including observably higher adoption of recommended production practices than non-group members, and higher reporting of enhanced incomes and food security compared to the broader community.
