Kilimo Trust is a not-for-profit organization working on agriculture for development across the East Africa community – in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. Kilimo Trust is a go-to implementing partner for inclusive and sustainable market-led agricultural value chain development in the region.
Kilimo Trust received a grant from AGRA to implement a three-year project entitled "Enhancing Access to Markets for Inclusive Agricultural Transformation (EAMIAT)." The project aims to improve the income, food, and nutrition security of MSMEs and farmers by creating sustainable trade opportunities.
Implemented by a consortium of four partners, Kilimo Trust focuses on promoting innovative post-harvest handling (PHH) practices to ensure grain quality in the Busoga, Sebei, and Bugisu subregions of Eastern Uganda. Industry Self-Regulation (ISR) is a crucial mechanism for ensuring compliance with ethical, safety, and quality standards within various industries. By adopting ISR standards, Kilimo Trust will proactively manage risks, enhance consumer trust, and align with best practices without relying solely on external regulatory bodies. For this project, ISR is particularly relevant as it provides a structured approach to maintaining industry integrity, fostering innovation, and ensuring long-term sustainability. Training on ISR standards will help stakeholders understand their roles in upholding these standards, leading to improved grain trade and adherence to quality requirements.
