STRATEGY
Core Srategic Focus Areas
The year 2020 was significant, coming with external and internal changes as the world grappled to contain the COVID-19. This required Food Rights Alliance to change its strategic direction that can be well expressed through our Strategic Plan (2022 – 2026) an engaging and a rethinking process to position ourselves better in a drastic changed environment.

Central, Western (Rwenzori inclusive) and Eastern Uganda.
WORK ON WATER AND NATURAL RESOURCE RIGHTS
Implementing a project that aims to build an integrated water and land resource system for sustainable development.
ENHANCED EQUITABLE RESOURCE USE AND GOVERNANCE

WORK ON AGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONS FINANCE
FRA have been part of the policy reforms in agricultural extension with partnership support and community engagement.
ALLIANCE WORK ON LAND AND SEED RIGHTS

Work on women gender and empowerment
ENDING HUNGER PROJECTS
Gender equality through women empowerment is central in the programming of all our programs. We're conscious of the fact that despite the enormous contribution of rural women to the agricultural sector and their contribution to food production and security, they have not been given due recognition in economic development.
STORIES AND IMPACT
We work where the need is greatest. Last year, we made an impact towards 12 million children and their families across 50+ districts.
