The government aims at making the country a market leader in the generation and dissemination of appropriate agricultural technologies for sustainable development in semi-arid regions that cover the cattle corridor and five other agro-ecological zones comprising the Eastern Savanna (Teso) region, Karamoja dry lands, Lango, Acholi, and west Nile sub-regions.

Unpredictable weather patterns, prolonged droughts, and floods are already signs of climate change's effects, which pose a serious threat to food production.

The $2.3 billion project, expected to take 42 months to complete, will revolutionize Uganda's transportation sector, reducing travel time and increasing efficiency.

The government is left with a task to create new policies and emphasize the need to develop strategies for building a sustainable resource base to finance Food and Nutrition Service interventions, for example, through attracting foreign direct investment into the agriculture sector and embracing a stronger financial commitment to increase public funding to agriculture and other sectors.
