Consultant: Quality and food safety in the Ugandan dairy value chain project

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
2023.07 - 2025.12
  • As a consultant with The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), under the Price-Quality Transmission and Quality Upgrading Project (BDN AoW2), I led component 2 of the project that aimed at understanding how quality premiums in dairy value chains are transmitted (or fail to be transmitted) to producers, and under what conditions quality upgrading can occur. The project combined detailed micro-data from smallholder dairy farmers, traders, and milk collection centers (MCCs) with a value-chain intervention to generate evidence for both policy and private-sector stakeholders. The intervention targeted 100 milk traders, 50 of whom were the treatment group (received quality premia based on the quality of milk delivered daily to MCCs. The study findings showed that quality based payment system significantly improved quality of milk along the value chain and if scaled up would reduce regulatory efforts in enforcement for compliance as actors get self-driven to supply quality milk because of a bonus paid for quality.
  • In close collaboration with the Dairy Development Authority Ministry of Agriculture, Animal industry and Fisheries, NARO and district local governments of participating districts
  • Developed a standard operating procedure (SOP) for the milk analyzer model MA 815. I also led development of the poster for creating awareness to farmers and milk vendors about the availability of milk analyzers at MCCs to test quality of their milk.

Project Coordinator, MWARES Project

Africa 2000 Network Uganda
2019.01 - 2022.01
  • The Manafwa Watershed Restoration and Stewardship (MWARES) project was funded by DOB-Ecology in the Netherlands and implemented by a consortium of four partners; Makerere University, Kyambogo University, Wageningen University and Research and Africa 2000 Network-Uganda. The aim of the project was to restore resilience and stimulate stewardship in the Manafwa watershed. This was because of inappropriate farming practices and use of marginal land leading to increasing frequency of soil erosion, landslides, shrinking forest reserves, as well as floods in the low lying areas surrounding the mountains. These are as a result of; rapid population growth which puts high pressure on the land and its resources, leading to reduced land sizes, loss of soil fertility and decreasing yields. Integrated farm planning (PIP) approach that is proven to stimulate quick, wide-scale change in people as stewards of their natural resources was core to realizing the objectives of the WARES project.
  • I was responsible for providing strategic leadership to the project, coordinating implementation of activities following the PIP principles of empowerment, integration and collaboration, and PIP drivers ; conscientisation, intrinsic motivation and genuine participation, and preparing reports on results. The key achievement was building farming households’ resilience to shocks of climate change through adoption of indigenous agroforestry trees in the Manafwa watershed and stimulating stakeholders’ collective action towards restoration of degraded areas of the watershed.
  • Prior to this responsibility, we together the project team had study tour in Burundi to benchmark hoe PIP approach had intrinsically motivated and stimulated wide-spread change in people as stewards of the land and were also trained in the step by step process of PIP creation.
  • Provided strategic guidance to the project staff according to the designed and agreed strategy; supervised project staff and appraised their performance in line with the project guidelines. As a result; over 12000 households were trained in PIP approach, created their PIPs and were empowered in resilient farming practices, built capacity of 26 schools in environmental education to mentor future stewards of natural resources, initiated and promoted landscape restoration intervention in 9 sub counties in the watershed including Mount Elgon National Park, facilitated signing of stewardship agreements between Uganda Wildlife Authority and 12 parishes for controlled access and conservation of natural resources in the Mt Elgon National Park, facilitated establishment and coached 30 Integrated Farming Groups to enhance market access for their produce, built the capacity of 38 villages in propagation, establishment and management of indigenous tree nurseries to enhance access to planting materials of such trees which grow well with coffee and bananas but also effective in restoring degraded step landscape and lastly facilitated establishment of the Manafwa Watershed restoration and conservation platform (MWARECoP) where stakeholders are invited to plan and work together on the restoration of the natural resources in the watershed, as a basis for sustainable food production and quality of life.
