Improving Income-Generating Opportunities for Insect Farmers in Western Uganda

The overall goal of this project was to build on lessons learned from the pilot project, Supporting Income for Farmers and Nutrition in Schools in Kyaka II and to create improved nutrition and income-generating opportunities among refugees and host communities in the Kyaka II refugee settlement in western Uganda.

This was achieved by empowering local farmers’ associations to better organise and support their members, and by introducing new business models based on the production of edible insects for food and feed.
