Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to contribute to the policy debate on the changing landscape of agricultural extension and advisory services in Uganda. Particularly, we investigate the effectiveness of different modes of advisory services implemented in Uganda. We compare the effectiveness of pluralistic and demand-driven advisory services with the traditional supply-driven advisory services, which operated along the NAADS approach from 2001 to 2014. Government-affiliated advisory services continued to offer supply-driven advisory services in subcounties where the NAADS program was not operating. We explore the effectiveness of the current agricultural advisory services approach used—with emphasis on gender—to reflect the key role women play in both agricultural production and extension services. We discuss the enabling environment and policies, in which we investigate the historical context of extension services in Uganda.
