EXTENSION GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS
Guidelines outline protocols for extension work, while standards set measurable criteria to assess and monitor performance.
Summary
This document establishes Uganda’s framework for a coordinated, pluralistic agricultural extension system. Key priorities include quality assurance through registration, accreditation, and technical audits; market-oriented, client-led approaches targeting women, youth, and value chain actors; and strengthening farmer institutions. The guidelines mandate gender-inclusive programming, climate adaptation practices, and business development to commercialize agriculture. Monitoring, evaluation, and formal collaboration mechanisms ensure accountability and continuous improvement across all extension providers.
