Over the past two decades, Food Rights Alliance has been at the forefront of advocating for food security and nutrition, and has been instrumental in influencing policy and decision-making processes at local, national, and international levels through research, analysis, and targeted advocacy.
Food Rights Alliance through its members, mobilizes and organizes communities for collective action to address the barriers to access safe and healthy diets while building their capacity to speak for themselves and advocating for an enabling environment to grow and access safe and nutritious food.
The 1990s marked the start of campaigns designed to educate the government and the Ugandan people about issues of hunger and approaches to relief and development. Such efforts led to a stronger advocacy focus at Food Rights Alliance, where staff members took on such issues as malnutrition, hunger relief and fair trade. An office was opened in Kampala, Namirenbe, in 1999, and the organization now invests in a popular campaigning infrastructure.
In 2019, Food Rights Alliance celebrated its 20th anniversary. Although the organization today is a very different place—one that has grown and changed to address both the times and the changing needs of the country—several things have remained steadfast: the commitment to addressing issues of hunger and malnutrition, and the set of core values that has informed our work—legacies passed down through two decades of staff and board members.
The goal of our strategic plan is “Sustainable Access and Consumption of Adequate Safe and Nutritious Food for All.” The broad focus is to secure spaces, mobilize voices and power of food producers and consumers to shape policy decisions.
Food is important just as means of its production, handling and eating it are, going the extra mile to support sustainable agriculture, equitable access to productive resources and adaptation to climate change.
The Food Rights Alliance network is meeting the needs of families across the Uganda and helping them build a brighter future. Give monthly to enhance our goal of the right to food year-around to hungry families.
One in three people suffers from food insecurity and malnutrition, but we believe in a future where no one does. To help end this injustice, you can make a secure donation via credit card or PayPal.
