Rural Development and Food Security

The #RUDSEC Project will increase volumes of transported and traded agricultural produce, reduce transportation costs and overall contribute to increased agricultural income generation in the Acholi, Lango and Teso subregions. Improving the accessibility of agricultural production areas will reduce the transportation cost of farm input and output along agricultural value chains which in turn is expected to translate to increased farm gate incomes. @MoLGUganda @GCICUganda @GovUganda @UgandaMediaCent @raphaelMagyezi
