Uganda: Climate Change Affecting Financial Inclusion in Agricultural Sector

Since 2016, Uganda has endured an almost back-to-back drought that has left farmers and pastoralists alike helpless as their crops and animals withered and died due to lack of water and pasture.

The result has been hunger, famine and outright poverty in most parts of the country and a spike in the prices of agricultural produce, leaving about two million at the mercy of government, development partners and other organisations for food relief.

It is, therefore, not surprising that climate change is dominating the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) regional implementation workshop on financial inclusion for rural development.
