Integrated Seed Sector Development Project (ISSD)

The Integrated Seed Sector Development programme in Uganda (ISSD Uganda) was implemented from June 2012 till September 2016 to improve the availability and use of high quality seed by agricultural producers in Uganda. The programme supported the development of a vibrant, pluralistic and market-oriented seed sector in Uganda. The geographic operational focus was on the West-Nile, Northern and South-Western zones of Uganda. The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands provided 5 million Euro grant funding to ISSD Uganda with the confidence that it would significantly contribute to the realisation of the Ugandan Agri-Food ambitions. Through partnerships and collaborations we were able to raise an addition 900,000 Euros in kind to match the funding provided.

ISSD Uganda was initiated to contribute to the transition of farming in Uganda from predominantly subsistence farming, to commercial smallholder farming. Commercial smallholder farmers aim to maximise returns on land and labour. The transition is needed to guarantee the food secu- rity of Uganda’s growing population, and take advantage of the growing domestic and regional market for food crops.

ISSD Uganda set as its ambition to structurally, economically and sustainably improve the functioning of the seed sector in Uganda. ISSD Uganda committed to realise within the timeframe of the programme an increase in the crop productivity and income of a minimum of 100,000 households through the use of higher quality seed.
