9abi trust Annual report 2012

Working with private sector partners, abi trust has proved that focusing on removing bottlenecks along the value chain can bring dividends if one identifi es the right partners to work with, engage them to zero-in on the challenges/priorities that need to be addressed, and use these as a basis for carefully selecting appropriate strategies to drive the interventions. Farmers that have adopted good farming practices have seen their yields increase and the price for their produce has gone up partly due to their enhanced ability to access markets but also partly due to the fact that their produce is of better quality.

In the past three years, abi trust has learned the art of partnering with Financial Institutions (FIs) to enhance lending to agriculture by developing agribusiness products together and extending lines of Credit and loan guarantees. secondly, through the Financial services Development component, abi trust has struck a code with the Tier 4 fi nancial service providers that serve the lower end customers like farmers. this has been done through improvements in infrastructure of rural branches hence increased levels of savings mobilisation making farmers more able to access credit, buy inputs, tools for agribusinesses and meet basic needs for the household.

aBi Trust identifi ed the need to work with the family as the basic farming unit and through the Gender for Growth

component, ways and means to improve the social - economic family relations have been galvanised for increased gains in selected agribusiness interventions. to that end, there has been a strong focus on increasing the ability of youth and women to play a pivotal role in changing the face of agriculture from subsistence to business as a means of wealth creation.

the abi trust has taken steps to put in place a robust monitoring and evaluation framework to assist in measuring impact of the interventions made in the value chains but also to show the incremental gains made because of these interventions.

the abi trust has adopted best corporate governance practices and will continuously refi ne its governance and management practices to achieve the set targets in its business plan. We are grateful to the Government of uganda, the Danish Government through the royal Danish embassy whose vision and foresight made this a reality and through whose eff orts we got the Swedish embassy, belgian embassy, American (usAID), european union(eu), netherlands embassy, uK aid and the German Embassy on board. In addition, we appreciate the eff orts of the Implementing Partners (IPs) benefi ciaries and staff .

This report gives a bird’s eye view of the achievements gained in the last three years, the lessons learned and our focus on the future. We believe that it will make good reading as a useful insight into the benefi ts of this noble initiative and as an endorsement of the trustees commitment to account for the resources that have been generously put at their disposal, to hold in trust for the people of uganda.

Foreword from the Chairperson, board of trustees The Agribusiness Initiative Trust (aBi Trust) has been in existence since 2010 and has

made strides in changing the face of agriculture in Uganda through innovative ways

of intervening in the value chains of Coff ee, Maize, Pulses, Oilseeds, Horticulture and

Dairy supported by targeted interventions in the fi nancial services sector, Standards

and Quality Management and Gender for Growth initiatives.

Word from the Chief executive offi cer

the combination of business Development services and the availability of adequate fi nancial instruments have given abi trust a competitive edge compared to the more traditional approaches where fi nance is separated from the delivery of subsidised support for agribusiness development.

The aBi Trust has managed to integrate BDS with fi nance to the benefi t of the rural communities and private sector actors in agribusiness. We also appreciate that further strengthening of this linkage will be needed in the future, and that the challenge is to fully engage the fi nancial sector in the development of the agribusiness sector.

the deepening of the regional markets for good quality commodities creates opportunities for a strong focus on the national and regional markets especially for value addition.

the attractiveness of the agribusiness sector has increased the demand in terms of both production and value addition leading to increase in commodity prices. This trend has already manifested itself in the coff ee sub-sector, but also the oilseeds and dairy sub-sectors that are beginning to attract attention for investors and other stakeholders. It is up to abi trust to act as a conduit in exploiting this potential.

It has become clear that direct support to tier 1 Financial Institutions and Micro Deposit-taking Institutions (MDIs) do not alone suffi ciently enhance improved access to fi nancial services for our target clients who are involved at the production level. therefore, we have expanded our focus to the lower tiers in the fi nancial sector to reach out to the farmer communities who bank mostly with FIs outside the regulated institutions. However, it should be recognized that the actors in the higher end of the value chains mostly bank with the regulated institutions, and as such, it remains important to walk on two legs in the provision of fi nancial services.

the loan guarantees continue to attract attention, and it is believed that provision of both portfolio and individual guarantees to FIs would continue to provide good vehicles for securitisation of primarily short-term loans. abi trust will continue and expand these programmes, although the direct risk exposure has to be managed carefully.

It is my pleasure to present the AgriBusiness Initiative Trust’s annual report for 2012.

The Annual Report shows signifi cant progress both in terms of delivering Business

Development Services (BDS) and Development Finance to the agribusiness sector. In

2012, the institutional structure of aBi Trust and Agribusiness Loan Guarantee Company

(ALGC) has shown to be an effi cient and much desired mechanism for development

partners and other investors to implement interventions in relation to agribusiness

development. The deviation from the project approach and the fact that aBi exists in

perpetuity has allowed for more fl exible implementation approaches and long-term

building of private sector frameworks for business development.

Svend Kaare JensenChief executive offi cer

Chief executive offi cer

even though our main target on the Guarantee scheme is to improve lender attitude towards lending to agribusiness, we do appreciate that there is a need to provide empirical evidence that livelihoods can be improved through accessing fi nance collateralised by the ALGC.

lines of Credit to FIs for on-lending to agribusiness have shown to be an effi cient vehicle for increasing rural fi nance and deepening of fi nancial access for agribusiness, as many banks are expanding into the rural areas. In its fi rst two years of operation, abi trust has experienced a rapid growth of its loC portfolio, and based on the development in 2012 it is believed that there will be an even stronger need in the future.

the Annual report provides a comprehensive overview of the work undertaken in 2012 in collaboration with our implementing partners to promote private sector

agribusiness development to enhance wealth creation in the rural communities in uganda. the Annual report shows that aBi Trust has signifi cantly increased the number of implementing partners and that the programme support has grown substantially compared to the previous years. The Trust’s investments again showed good results, with a comprehensive income before tax of ush 8,271,854,533 (DKK 18,381,899) which assures the fi nancial sustainability of the institution. the institutional sustainability has also been reinforced, by introducing risk management procedures, strong corporate governance and all administrative functions are now in place.

the institutional structure and performance has placed abi trust as a preferred partner for Development partners and sponsors who want to participate in building ugandan agribusiness sector to a more competitive and productive sector.

sincerely



executive summaryIn its third year of operation, abi trust operations continued to grow steadily both in range and depth. the aBi Trust operated in an environment with fluctuated growth, domestic and external conditions which include tight monetary policies, high fuel prices and lower export values for some commodities. In spite of these, the agriculture sector expanded by 3.1% with the cash crops subsector growing at 16.2%.

Budget

the total utilisation of the budget was ush 36bn or DKK 80m against a budget of ush 49bn or DKK 111m representing 73% of financial performance of the aBi Trust’s operations and programme for the period 1st January to 31st December 2012.

Assets

total assets grew by 46%, achieved on the back of attracting new sponsors like Cross roads with a capital injection of USh 7.3bn for the Construction Guarantee Fund (CGF). this amount was invested to yield 19.5% over the year, which contributed to an impressive 134% growth in retained earnings.

Programming

In relation to the Value Chain strategy, abi trust registered good progress under Value Chain Development (VCD), Financial services Development (FsD) and Gender for Growth (G4G).

Value Chain Development

VCD achieved its objective of improved performance of value chain actors in specific value chains as follows; abi trust awarded grants to 65 Farmer organisations, sMes and seed companies under the matching grant arrangement to support key value chains. the arrangement directly benefited about 168,970 farmers. the performance of the value chain actors is depicted through the following indicators;

1. Average adoption rate of Good Agricultural Practices (GAp) of 24.9% for the supported value chains was registered with highest adoption rates among soybean armers at 79%, maize farmers at 75%, coffee farmers at 45%, sunflower 42% and others below the mark of 40%.

2. Average yield improved for farmers engaged in key value chains i.e. 250kg per acre (FAQ) to 504 kg per acre (FAQ) in coffee; 800 kg per acre to 1,300 kg per acre in maize; and 300 kg per acre to 500 kg per acre in soybean, beans, sunflower, sesame and groundnuts value chains with exception of horticulture, which has been slow in progress.

3. Average gross incomes per farmer for adopting farmers was USh 2m among coffee farmers and USh 1m among farmers in soybean, bean, sunflower, sesame and groundnuts value chains for two seasons. The gross income was affected by the prevailing market prices and the quality of the produce.

the overall performance of the value chain actors continue to improve amidst factors influencing economic growth and development.

the dairy value chain was approved for support by the royal netherlands embassy under the delegated corporation arrangement. this will be added to the existing value chains of; coffee, oilseeds, pulses, maize and horticulture. The implementation commences in 2013 and targets 18,000 dairy farmers in south Western uganda.

SPS &QMS

the sps & QMs within the VCD component supported interventions aimed at improving quality and standards of agricultural commodities produced by Fos and sMes. the sps/QMs section of the value chain supported 16 sMes/Fos to implement codes of practice, product specification, processing standards, technical regulations and management system standards. In addition, the operationalisation of the national enquiry point on sps is ongoing and this will manage the information flow between private sector exporters and importing countries.



Implementing partners engaged in Green Growth initiatives through promoting yield enhancing inputs so there can be intensification versus extensification of farming practices; multiplication of shade trees in coffee nurseries for distribution with coffee seedlings; use of solar drying techniques for fruits, grains, and coffee; air aspirating equipment for a grain processing facility, eco-washing stations for coffee with waste water treatment; water harvesting basins for coffee and banana fields; intercropping and use of conservation tillage practices among others.

Financial Services Development

FSD made progress towards achieving its objective of increased availability of and use of financial services through wider and deeper delivery mechanisms as follows:

Access to financial services were boosted by supporting 57 Financial institutions with 13 new rural branches and 6 branchless mechanisms opened to provide services like savings, loans, banking, and insurance to the rural population. In response to the services, our banking partners registered 24,827 new clients compared to a target of 20,000 clients. these new clients have accumulated a savings volume of ush 6bn in a period of less than 9 months and an increased loan portfolio of ush 5.2bn.

FsD supported development of agriculture loan products such as crop insurance and livestock insurance, training of staff on agricultural lending and support to the insurance sector through lion Assurance who developed a crop insurance product that is expected to be launched by end of 1st quarter 2013.

FsD continued to steer the strategic thinking of FIs by developing strategic plans for two apex organisations (uCCFs and ForMA) which will be adopted as a roadmap for the consolidation of lower tier FIs to improve access to financial services and enable the small FIs benefit from the AlGC lines of credit.

Gender for Growth (G4G)

G4G through its implementing partners promoted gender equality in agribusiness as follows:

Farming as a Family business (FaaFb1) concept was promoted among participating farming households facilitated by change agents who visit, advise and coach households in joint planning, decision making, sharing of roles and responsibilities. As a result, families that plan and work together have improved their livelihoods compared to non-participating families. Activities under the component supported 61,580 women, with a 15% increase in women beneficiaries borrowing and saving for agribusinesses using the 2,877 Village savings and loan Association (VslA) formed.

Investment Unit

under the Investments unit, the total value of the endowment fund was ush 78bn (DKK 164m), up from ush 61bn (DKK 128m) in 2011. lines of credit more than doubled as the single largest investment item from 14% at the beginning of the year to 31% by the end of 2012. by December 2012, 8,431 agribusiness loans worth USh 20bn were disbursed to agribusiness beneficiaries under the lines of credit scheme with an average loan size of USh 2.4m and number of new loans disbursed under guarantees were 19.902. Funds invested earned an average return of 16.73% over the past 12 months against a target of 12.99%.

Monitoring and Evaluation

the Monitoring and evaluation unit engaged in preparing abi trust for Donor Committee for enterprise Development (DCeD) compliance. A mock audit was conducted in December 2012 to assess the status of the Measuring results Management (MrM) system and total compliance is expected by end of 2013.

the key lesson learned in 2012 was that the institutional structure of abi trust and AlGC is an efficient and much

needed mechanism for development partners and other investors to implement agribusiness development interventions. the combination of business Development services and the availability of adequate financial instruments have given aBi Trust a competitive edge over the more traditional approaches that separate

finance from the delivery of subsidised technical support in agribusiness development.

In conclusion, the abi trust has made progress in achieving its life of programme targets as shown in the table below:

background



About abi trustthe Agribusiness Initiative (abi) trust is one of the three components of DANIDA’s U-Growth 1 programme supporting agribusiness development in the private and agricultural sector to achieve the objective of the Government of Uganda’s Competitiveness and Investment Climate strategy (CICs). the abi trust through its implementing partners continues to support increase in land and labor productivity, market competitiveness hence contribution to poverty reduction, economic growth, employment and wealth creation.

Supported Value ChainsSix value chains were supported in 2012: Coffee; Oilseeds; Pulses; Maize; Horticulture and Dairy. aBi Trust is strengthening competitiveness of the value chains through the three interrelated sub-components:

1. VCD is contributing to performance efficiency of actors and value chains (with focus on value chain actors and non-financial service providers) as well as promoting trade-related sanitary and phytosanitary (sps) and Quality Management systems (QMs).

2. FSD is promoting expansion of financial services in support of agribusiness development (with focus on the relation between financial service providers and value chain actors).

3. G4G Fund integrates gender equality in all abi trust activities and manages a fund that pilots innovative gender equality approaches in agriculture.

the three sub-components above are designed to contribute to the Trust’s specific goals as follows:

1. Increase incomes for more than 250,000 farming fam-ilies and 300 firms or farmers organizations by 25%;

2. Financial services Development leading to 18 new Financial Institution branches and 30 branchless banking points;

3. provision of loans through Financial Institutions to 35,000 borrowers;

4. A 25% increase in the incomes of over 4,000 women farmers and entrepreneurs and a 30% increase in the incomes of 5,000 youth.

VCD grants grew by 57% between 2011 and 2012 to implement agricultural production, productivity and quality enhancement interventions. In addition to 39 old grants, 58 new grants were awarded in 2012 under the VCD. FsD awarded 50 new grants in 2012 in addition to five grants being implemented to support expansion of financial services. G4G awarded 23 new grants in addition to 10 existing grants under implementation for supported value chains.

Development in the Agricultural sector

Economic Conditions Uganda’s economic growth projections were affected by both domestic and external conditions relating to weak uganda shilling, tight monetary policies, lower export values for some commodities and high fuel prices.

Real GDP growth for Financial Year (FY) 2011/12 was expected to be at 5%; however, actual growth rate was only 3.2%2. It is important to note that while many sectors of the economy slowed down or even contracted3, the agriculture sector expanded by 3.1%.

According to the Ministry of Finance, planning, and economic Development (MoFpeD)4, the economy

showed signs of recovery with growth rates recorded for a third consecutive quarter with the latest growth numbers indicating its expansion by 1.8% during the 1st quarter of the FY 2012/13. Agricultural production, which had contracted by 0.3% in the last quarter of FY2011/12, rebounded at a 3.1% growth in the first quarter of FY2012/13, a recovery largely attributed to improved food crop production during the quarter.

InflationThe annual inflation rate of 25.6% started off 2012, a slight reduction from the peak of 30.5% in october 2011. the high inflation was ostensibly because of droughts in 2011 that led to high food price inflation. Despite edging slightly higher in December 2012, inflation remained within single digit levels. The annual headline inflation by December 2012 had come down to 5.5% (4.5% for october was the lowest). The increase was mainly influenced by seasonal factors, which saw higher prices in goods and energy, Fuel and utilities (eFu) baskets.

In line with the drop in inflation, the Central Bank Rate (CBR) reduced gradually from 23% in January to 12% in December 2012.

source: MoFpeD 2012



Performance of the Agricultural SectorThe value of the agricultural sector grew by 3.1% in FY 2011/12 with the cash crops subsector growing at 16.2% due to a rebound of coffee prices which grew at 7.2%; cotton at 7.7%; tea at 18.5%; cocoa at 10.6% and flowers and horticulture at 4% after three years of negative growth5.

Market TrendsMarket trends in 2012 show trade flows from several local production areas to market hubs such as Kampala, Gulu and Mbale as well as to export markets. traders engaged in informal exports and imports of maize, beans, soybeans, groundnuts and simsim to and from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Sudan and DRC. Trade in the region was mainly carried out by south sudanese, Kenyan and ugandan traders and mostly at the border points of busia, Malaba, Mutukula, Katuna and nimule in South Sudan. The inflow and outflow of produce affected the market trends of various commodities. For example, the regional Agricultural trade Intelligence network (rAtIn) reported cross-border trade of 239,637 MT of maize and 125,380 MT of beans from Uganda to Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania.

Figure 3 • Comparison of Trends of Wholesale Maize Prices in Owino Market – Kampala, 2011-2012

Figure 3 shows the price trend of maize grain in Owino market, a major market hub for produce coming into Kampala. Maize prices peaked to USh 1,180 per kg in May 2012 compared to the peak of USh 1,280 per kg in June 2011 attributed to the high demand for maize from traders and schools. Imports from Tanzania as well as release of stocks by traders caused price decline just before the beginning of season 2012b harvest started. price decline in the second half of 2011 and 2012 was due to maize harvests from seasons 2011A and 2012A respectively.

Figure 4 • Comparison of Trends of Wholesale Bean Prices in Owino market – Kampala, 2011-2012

Figure 4 shows the wholesale price trend for beans in Owino market – Kampala. In 2012, prices of beans peaked at ush 2,592 per kg compared to ush 2,535 per kg in 2011. there was high demand for beans from traders and schools because of the delay of the harvest from seasons 2011A and 2012A. Imports of yellow beans from Tanzania and mixed beans from Rwanda helped sustain consumers during times of scarcity.

Seasonal TrendsGenerally in 2012, most parts of the country experienced normal rains conducive for agricultural production. As a result, several markets in Kampala, Jinja, Gulu, and Mbale reported increased supply of food crops due to increased yield.

aBi Trust supported five commodity value chains of Coffee,

Oilseeds, Maize, Pulses and Horticulture.



Under the coff ee value chain, 25 Small Medium enterprises (sMes) and Farmer organisations (Fos) were supported. A total of 68,332 coff ee farmers were supported and the main activities carried out addressed quality and productivity issues where the average yield

has improved from 250 to 504 Kgs of FAQ per acre , the out turn conversions from Kiboko to FAQ has improved from 48 to 58%. In addition, activities to address market access focused on value addition and post-harvest handling where farmers started selling FAQ instead of Kiboko.

coff ee twig borer . Preliminary results show that the Actara insecticide controls the pests if applied properly.

In its eff orts to address coff ee related challenges such as productivity, markets, pest & disease control, access to rural fi nance and advocacy for reforms and approval of the coff ee policy; agitating for the autonomy of the coff ee research centre (COREC) to become an institute, abi trust collaborated with key sector players through coff ee platforms. These included; the National Coff ee Steering Committee, Uganda Coff ee Federation (UCF), and Africa Fine Coff ee Association (AFCA) conferences. The Trust created linkages for coff ee farmers to business development service providers, which resulted into an agreement within the coff ee sector to review the extension materials to better suit the Ugandan coff ee farmer, as well as fi nalise the National Coff ee Policy that is in its advanced stages of development. Furthermore, the Coff ee Research Centre (COREC) received a semi-autonomous status, which will enable it to receive direct budget support from the government and any other development partner.

the abi trust also supported the development of a strategy for the Uganda Coff ee Federation (UCF), a code of practice for uganda national bureau of standards (unbs) to handle ochratoxin A (otA) challenges, the national enquiry point (nep) and Centre of excellence (Coe).

In collaboration with the Uganda Coff ee Development Authority (UCDA) and Coff ee Quality Institute (CQI), abi trust supported activities that included building capacities for coff ee diff erentiation to increase market access. The various initiatives strengthened the coff ee sector, making Uganda’s coff ee more competitive on regional and international markets.

A Case of Best Practices in Kasese District Farmers Association

Kasese District Farmers Association (KADFA) was engaged by Hima Cement to provide 14m coff ee seedlings over a fi ve year period under the Hima-Kasese coff ee development project. With support from aBi Trust and its predecessor ASPS II, KADFA has so far supplied 1,192,421 seedlings to 6,009 farmers and in-creased the coff ee area by at least 2,000 acres.

The project is credited with creating a system to ensure that the seedlings are planted and that every farmer willing to participate in the project receives the seedlings upon verifi ca-tion. As a result, farmers’ business organisa-tion has grown, and the nurseries have creat-ed employment in addition to increasing the availability of clean planting material.

nineteen partners were supported to help 40,551 improve their growing of sunfl ower, sesame, soybean and groundnuts. table 2 highlights key achievements.

Sesame GADC organic was supported to help 10,739 sesame farmers to increase production/productivity, control

pHH loses and market their produce. As a result, 11,859 acres of land was cultivated, post-harvest losses reduced among 1,923 farmers through adoption of recommended post-harvest handling techniques and 407 Mt of sesame were bulked and sold at an average price of ush 2,400 per kg compared to ush 1,800 per kg prior to project intervention.

to address the challenge of disease free planting materials, the trust collaborated with uCDA to multiply clean CWDr planting material using tissue culture for supply to farmers. the trust also supported 31 coff ee nurseries through a cost share grant to produce clean planting materials. In addition, one partner was supported to establish a tissue culture laboratory7 and to establish structures to harden over 1m seedlings.

Establishment of coff ee demonstration gardens helped farmers appreciate good agricultural practices such as pruning, fertiliser application, planting clean seedlings, mulching, shading, digging trenches. Coff ee production increased to an average yield of 504 kg per acre of FAQ compared to 250 kg per acre before abi trust intervention. The benefi t of these practices is evident with demonstra-tion host farmers and other participating farmers.

on-site advice was received by 30,758 farmers from 1,181 demonstration plots set up by IPs through fi eld

days and on training days. It is envisaged that 40,000 farmers who attained sustainable coff ee standards of 4C, utZ and rain Forest Alliance through Kyagalanyi Coff ee Ltd and Good African Foundation IPs, will further enhance competitiveness of Uganda’s coff ee.

Uganda exported 2.65m bags of coff ee in 2012 and a value of $379m, this remained the country’s largest export earner. 70% of the volumes was robusta with washed grades fetching a 21% price premium. In the same period, bugisu specialty grades (sustainable Mt. elgon and supremo) fetched $3.23 per kg and $3.18 respectively compared to $2.77 per kg for regular grades of Arabica. Partners engaged in specialty coff ee production and promotion. six washing stations and several sustainable certifi cates (UTZ, RFA, and 4C) were up-graded under a cost share grant with Kyagalanyi8 in Mt. elgon region.

Although the cost of production was 50% higher, farmers realised an additional profi t of USh 90,500 per acre. Generally,

farmers improved quality of maize due to adoption of PHH techniques and collective marketing; consequently, they realised more sales during the year. Despite an increase in sales, collective marketing is still a challenge for most of the Ips due to mistrust, delayed payments and storage costs.

Maize Interventions



under horticulture, 13,029 farmers were supported to improve production, pHH and value addition of pineapples and chilli. For example, 224 pineapple farmers of Kangulumira Area Cooperative enterprise and patience pays Initiative supplied 8,420 kg of good quality dried pineapples to Fruits of the nile an exporting company in the region. the quality was attributed to the improved solar driers and training supported by abi trust. Chilli farmers attached to Gulu Agricultural Development Company (GADC) in Gulu district, accessed and planted

chilli seedlings from the 32 chilli nurseries established as a pilot project and as a result, 3MT have been purchased from the fi rst harvest.

sps and QMs interventions supported the horticulture value chain with national organic Agricultural Movement of uganda (noGAMu) linking farmers to markets and facilitating improvement in organic standards.

participation in international organic trade fairs in Germany and USA opened up fi ve new markets for farmers in Denmark, usA and Germany, which resulted in increase of export volumes worth us$0.88m of mainly organic fruits and vegetables. sulma Foods and its out-grower scheme developed quality management systems including documentation of procedures and practical guides, a prerequisite for meeting Iso 9001:2008 standards.

Introduction

this section discusses the progress by component for each of the abi trust outputs. It further discusses progress made by the investment unit, monitoring and evaluation unit, institutional development, financial performance versus budget and funding status.


the Value Chain Development (VCD) sub-component is one of the three interrelated sub-components

under aBi Trust. Its immediate objective is to improve performance of value chains and actors, including trade-related sanitary and phytosanitary (sps) and Quality Management systems (QMs) with focus on value chain and specific service providers with the following outputs:

1. Increased demand and matching availability of appropriate agribusiness services leading to increased farmer and enterprise performance in selected value chains

2. Value chain actors access and develop new markets based on thorough market information

3. trade-related sanitary and phyto-sanitary standards & Quality Management systems (sps & QMs)

Increasing agricultural productivity implies a transformation from traditional to modern agriculture, which largely involves the use of improved farm inputs and GAp. the abi trust focused on two areas of intervention namely; improving farmers’ access to improved and genuine farm inputs; adoption of improved farm inputs

and new varieties. these interventions have increased the number of participating farmers using improved inputs by at least 15% during the reporting year, which has resulted into increased productivity of supported value chains.

Improving Farmers’ Access to Genuine Farm Inputssupport has been extended to uganda national Agro Input Dealers Association (unADA), which has progressively improved distribution channels between agro-input dealers and farmers. A total of 427 stockists, agro-dealers and farmer agents (spread across farming communities) were recruited and trained on product knowledge and seed stock management by seed companies with a purpose of guiding farmers on utilisation of improved farm inputs. Awareness campaigns were also executed in four regions of northern uganda in partnership with Croplife to reduce usage rate of adulterated and counterfeit agro-input products, a move that strengthened relationship between farmers, stockists and agro-input dealers.

Adoption of Improved Farm Inputs According to pearl seeds ltd, there has been noticeable growth in productivity with a 50% increase in yield attributed to adoption of improved seed. For instance,

Lwotlatica Women’s Group in Nwoya, Northern Uganda improved their soybean yield from 200 to 800kg per acre after adopting improved seeds promoted by pearl Seed Ltd. This has encouraged the women’s group to open up more land for soybean production and seed multiplication. Copying practices by the non-supported farmers will result in increase in demand for improved seeds, higher adoption levels of improved seeds in the subsequent seasons.

partnership with seed companies has not only increased seed availability and the incomes of participating farmers; it has also created employment opportunities especially for the youth and women. In Masindi district, one contracted out-grower employed at least 100 casual workers (70% are women and youth) to plough, harvest, clean and pack clean planting materials in a maize multiplication garden. table 7 shows seed varieties and new farm inputs.

New Varieties/Farm Inputs FICA introduced two new maize varieties that are high yielding and with short maturity period in uganda that is; FH 5160 and FH 6150. This partnership also increased production of certified seed where 2,000 acres of land

was opened for certified seed production in season 2012A and 1,500 acres in season 2012b. FICA seed sales especially for maize (MM3) in areas where it was demonstrated increased which necessitated abi trust to support the preservation of all its parent seed material



One example of the successful adoption of this scheme is Gemakumwino VSLA in Makuutu sub-county Iganga district which saved USh 2.9m within six months enabling members to borrow from their own group at a 10% interest rate for three months to fi nance household needs as well as buying of improved seeds for planting. Other success stories include; Ndimugezi farmer group under Iganga DFA whose combined savings and interest on loans amounted to USh 27m within a period of 12 months. The average savings for groups supported by Iganga DFA was estimated at USh 18m for 12 months.

In order to increase performance of enterprises, abi Trust focused on the following key areas; identifi cation, assessment of income and technology, support to projects and to farmer groups, business incubators and new value chains.

SME Identifi cationOut of the 343 SMEs shortlisted for profi ling, 30 were recommended for further review and possible support by the commissioned study.

Assessment of Income and Technology AdoptionAn Income and technology Adoption study on benefi ciary farmers supported by partners under the VCD subcomponent assessed the rate and level of adoption of agricultural technologies and skills. the

study fi ndings revealed that the overall rate of adoption of agricultural technologies and skills was estimated at 24.9%, although it was noted that the rate of adoption varied from crop to crop and from farmer to farmer. It was highest in pulses (beans) estimated at 46.8% and lowest in oilseeds (sesame) at 10.6%. Adoption rates were generally higher among female farmers at 27.2% as compared to 23.6% for male farmers.

using expenditure approach to determine changes in income levels among the smallholders, the study established that income levels among the smallholders have generally increased by about 48%. this was refl ected by the increase of about 48% in incomes spent by the benefi ciaries on basic goods (education, clothing and medical care) and over 20% on other

output 1.2: Increased enterprise performance

In rakai district, Community enterprise Development organisation (CeDo) multiplied improved bean seed varieties namely; NABE 4, 11, 15; ROBA 1 (rich in iron) and nArbl 53/1. CeDo worked with 90 farmer groups in the central and western regions. As a result, improved bean seed availability increased among stockists making it accessible and aff ordable to farmers.

the uganda oilseed producers and processors Association (uospA) acquired a 150 kg parental line (100 kg female and 50 kg male line) of sesun 1H hybrid seed for multiplication from a sunfl ower breeder, National semi Arid resources research Institute (nasArrI) and contracted 16 farmer groups13 to multiply certifi ed seeds. this is expected to produce 24 Mt of sesun 1H sunfl ower-planting seeds enough to plant 12,000 acres and supply 9,600 Mt of crushable raw material.

goods such as transport, with the majority reporting an increase. the percentage increase in incomes was higher among males.

Support to Business Plans Five partners were supported to develop business plans to identify good markets (both domestic and foreign); develop targeting strategies to increase their market share in those markets. For instance, the nuCAFe 2012-2021 business plan helped to identify investment opportunities in a modern state of the art Centre of Excellence for Coff ee Agribusiness and Farmer entrepreneurship enhancement (CAFe) that will manage and monitor all the stages of the Coff ee value chain.

Support to Farmer Groups to Increase Savings for Agriculture Investmentusing the Village savings and loans Association (VslA) approach, farmers were supported to access funds in their own communities to address fi nancial needs for agricultural production. by using their own savings, farmers are able to access sustainable and profi table savings and credit services. In 2012, 721 VslAs, 20,188 farmers saved together and managed their lending processes. This helped them manage their cash fl ows and to access the credit they needed for their farming.

New Value Chain aBi Trust identifi ed and added the dairy value chain to the existing value chains of coff ee, maize, oilseeds, pulses and horticulture. A concept document in support of dairy value chain was developed by abi trust and approved for support by the netherlands embassy under the delegated corporation arrangement. targeting 18,000 dairy farmers in south Western uganda, the programme will focus on the procurement of cooling and transport equipment for the primary societies and cooperatives. the support given will improve milk transportation, quality management through training, strengthening the cooperatives, development of fi nancial services, strengthening the role of gender and youth in the dairy value chain.

Green Growth Activities best practices in Iganga district VslAs During the reporting year, initiatives on Green Growth undertaken by abi trust Implementing partners were: promoting yield enhancing inputs so there can be intensifi cation versus extensifi cation of farming practices; multiplication of shade trees in coff ee nurseries for distribution with coff ee seedlings; use of solar drying techniques for fruits, grains, and coff ee; air aspirating equipment for a grain processing facility, eco-washing stations for coff ee with waste water treatment; water harvesting basins for coff ee and banana fi elds; intercropping; use of conservation tillage practices among others.

output 1.3: Increased Access to new Markets

VCD promoted market development for producers, agro input dealers, agro traders, processors and exporters. to enable Ips make informed marketing decisions, two Market Information service (MIs) providers were contracted to provide market information, which helped farmers and traders to make informed decisions on prices of produce.

Analyse and Study MarketsIps promoted bulk marketing and market linkages through marketing committees elected by farmers to identify buyers, supervise bulking activities and manage quality. Farmers improved their bargaining power by engaging 563 established marketing committees in

marketing activities. Farmer organisations were linked to 103 produce buyers including traidlinks the supplier to tullow oil camps.

Best Practices by Iganga District VSLAs

aBi Trust supported 153 VSLA groups with a total of 4,590 farmers under the Iganga DFA to access funds in their own communities to enable them meet fi nancial needs for investment in maize farming. VSLA members were trained in; maize GAP and PHH technologies, collective marketing, savings mobilization and were given savings kits. The 4,590 farmers pooled their money, an agreed amount each week into a fund from which members could borrow at a 10% interest on approval from other members. By the end of 2012, the VSLA had accumulated a fund of USh 2.8bn from average savings of USh 18m per group, proceeds which at the end of the year, farmers used to fi nance investment in maize production as well as improving their livelihoods. Farmers save an agreed amount of money on a weekly basis. The other group members approve loans and fraud or defaulting is unlikely because they stay in the same village. Similarly Ndimugezi VSLA in Namungalwe Sub-County, which, as a group, saved USh 28.9m in 2012, part of which they used to rent safe storage space for their maize in anticipation of better prices. According to their secretary, Mr. Tagedhe, the group bulked 12.9 MT of maize grain which they later sold at USh 850 per kg, a 70% increase above the farm-gate price of USh 500 per kg.



For instance, farmers under Mayuge DFA engaged in collective marketing sold 572.5 Mt of soybeans worth ush 1.0bn to buyers like redcon, sesACo, Africa Do business and West nile seed Company.Market linkages were created opportunities for exporters through trade fairs for instance noGAMu members exported 8.8 Mt of dried fruits worth us$880,000 because of trade linkages made with 12 international buyers at the biofach organic trade Fair in Germany.

Develop Market Information System (MIS)FIt uganda and noGAMu provided market information to partners with the aim of increasing market access to farmers and exporters. FIt uganda disseminated information on 46 commodities (organic and conventional) from 28 districts and 4 border towns (Mutukula, Mpondwe, Katuna and Koboko). MIs users accessed 18,604 short message services (sms) for price information while 843 users accessed the information through email service. noGAMu disseminated its quarterly newsletter to 340 subscribers by use of email, sms, radio and its website to its members (farmers, processors, traders and exporters) involved in

production and export of organic products. regional market opportunities were created by disseminating organic products price information through Infotrade on a weekly basis.

Technological Innovations in Market Information Farmers, sellers, buyers, marketing committees used information boards at collection points, printed forms and by word of mouth to obtain and disseminate market information. FIt uganda is in the process rolling out a new voicemail application for mobile phones; an innovation that will be piloted among abi trust Farmer organisations.

output 1.5: trade-related sanitary and phytosanitary standards & Quality Management systems (sps & QMs14)

trading partners in target markets set stringent compliance requirements. Partners’ attempts to expand export of agricultural commodities were constrained by inability to comply with technical barriers to trade (tbt), sanitary and phytosanitary (sps) measures that included codes of practices, product specifi cations, processing standards, technical regulations and management systems standards. the sps & QMs sub-component supported interventions aimed at improving and strengthening Fos and sMes capacities to guarantee quality and safety of their products.

safety and quality standards were promoted among partners through several initiatives and collaborations at national, regionally and international level. such initiatives included development of standards and codes of conduct for priority value chains; strengthening the capacity of service providers; the development of national standards

and quality policy; improved technologies usage training and the development of Centres of excellence by value chains. The sub component’s outputs and results are shown in Appendix VI.

Create Broad Awareness in Priority Value Chainsnational awareness and training workshops were conducted in fi ve value chains targeting 144 Trainers of trainers (tots) in product standards and codes of practice, implementation of compliance guidelines on food safety, sps and QMs standards. tots (75) also actively rolled out information on sps and QMs standards to 58 respective Ips.

Stakeholder Meetings on SPS Issues in Priority Value Chainsabi trust organised a stakeholder meeting to explore sps challenges and promote linkages between private

sector and agricultural and trade ministries, national planning Authority and regulatory bodies. As a result, Memorandum of understating (Mou) was signed with the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) and uganda national bureau of standards (unbs). Within this framework, the development of the national enquiry point on sps under MAAIF, and Development of codes of practice and product standards for priority value chains by unbs were supported.

National SPS Enquiry and Notifi cation Point (SPS & NEP)the operationalisation of the national enquiry point on sps is ongoing and a consultancy team was engaged to collect data necessary to develop the national enquiry point. the collaboration and participation of the private sector Foundation uganda (psFu) and public institutions involved in the notifi cation process have also been facilitated. to support this activity abi trust is providing the needed technical capacity to upgrade, strengthen and boost the performance of the nep to manage the information fl ow between private sector exporters and importing countries.

Development of Standards and Codes of Practice for Priority Value Chains abi trust entered into agreement with unbs to facilitate the development of standards and Codes of practice, including Code of practice to control ochratoxin A (otA) in Coff ee; a Code of Practice for the Horticulture Industry, and a Product Specifi cation for Chillies.

Strengthening of Service Providers Capacitybureau Veritas International was contracted to train 44 selected service providers in seven core food safety management and quality control standards15 to strengthen their capacities on sps and QMs. Out of the trainees 23 qualifi ed for registration as consulting trainers, inspectors and auditors in standard specifi cations and 18 of these, qualifi ed for registration

in the International Register for Certifi ed Auditors and trainers (IrCA). this has created a pool of local service providers that are providing technical assistance for Fos and sMes to implement standards in pilot enterprises and support certifi cation and accreditation of these services16.

Development of the National Standards and Quality Policy abi trust was a member of the national standards and Quality policy taskforce that developed the national standards and Quality policy which was launched towards the end of 2012. the policy will promote quality, safety and competitiveness of goods and services.

Harmonisation of EAC Standards on Grain and Pulsesabi trust participated in the technical Working Group (tWG) under unbs to review and adopt standards on grains and pulses. the tWG agreed to adopt harmonised standards specifi cally focusing on moisture content for nine grains and pulses. the standards were rolled out to 30 warehouse operators in collaboration with the eAGC. the implementation of these standards is expected to boost compliance to east African Community (eAC) and other market requirements.

Facilitate the Development of Quality Management Courses and Trainingtraining materials on food safety and quality management standards for the fi ve value chains were developed in line with laws of uganda governing food quality and safety. The World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements on SPS and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT); the International Code of practice General principles of food hygiene; jointly developed and issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO)17.

Training of Horticulture Exporters in SPS Measures the Horticultural promotion organisation of uganda (Hpou) reported enhanced operational effi ciency, an increase in supply volumes to european markets that resulted from a comprehensive training on sps measures assessment, procedures for verifi cation, compliance and implementation in which ten horticulture exporters participated.

A survey of 21 analytical laboratories in three districts and one municipal council was conducted to assess their capacity for agri-food and pesticide residue testing in line with european and other international standards. Survey fi ndings revealed signifi cant capacity gaps of the laboratories. Based on the study fi ndings, training modules were developed centred on eu requirements for agricultural foods and pesticide residues, which were used by an international accredited trainer to train two technicians from the laboratories assessed.

the three laboratories under unbs, uIrI and nCrI resumed testing of pesticide residues in August and September 2012, which increased the country’s capacity to meet buyer requirements on Minimum residue limits (Mrl).

Development of Centres of Excellence (CoEs) by Value ChainsA study to identify commodity organisations able to host Coes within the priority value chains was completed and potential organisations to host a Coe were contacted to submit proposals.

these organisations will act as focal points for raising awareness, knowledge development, networking and dissemination of best practices, research products and innovations as well as promotion of quality standards, technical regulations and sps/QMs measures. the Coes will also provide leadership in demonstrating new PHH technologies and capacity building of staff in pre-certifi cation to support the sustainable development of sps and QMs related standards18 of which three will be operation by end of 2013.

Post-harvest handling and storage equipment (collapsible drying sheets and cocoons for storage of dried grain) were distributed to 47 IPs, a move that was aimed at improving PHH and storage techniques for coff ee, maize, beans and oilseeds. The IPs were also trained on usage of the equipment. To further support PHH and storage initiatives, aBi Trust introduced pre-calibrated moisture meters to ten IPs to promote quality control in coff ee and grains. The introduction of reliable moisture testers to farmers and traders will be used to accurately measure moisture content in the fi eld and bulking centers that will ultimately reduce post-harvest losses.

Key Impact Areas in 201219

IncomesIn 2012, there was observed increment in farmers’ income from various value chains being supported by

aBi Trust as refl ected in Table 8;

18 The organisations identifi ed as potential CoE hosts have been formally provided with guideline for developing detailed proposal for consideration by aBi Trust.19 More concrete data on employment created and attributable to abi trust interventions will come through during the planned impact assessment in 2013.



Employment CreationFOs and SMEs that benefited from aBi Trust support created both casual and skilled employment opportunities. As a result, Ips expanded the scale of their enterprises, while others have created new ones. According to the employment Assessment report 201220 it was observed that on average each Ip created two employment opportunities for skilled personnel. About 67% of the sMes reported that they had created new jobs. Over 80% of the jobs created do not require specialised skills. These include; garden attendants, load lifting, grading and sorting of produce at bulking centres. results showed that the average number of workers employed by each sMe has increased by three casual workers, and the number of employing sMes has also increased. However, most of the jobs created are casual as reported by 78.6% of the sMes meaning that they are seasonal and unstable.

OutreachBy 2012, farmer beneficiaries were 168,970 through various interventions. this is 67% of the lop target of 250,000 farmers. (note it is revised from the original target of 100,000 farmers). abi trust supported 103 (103 direct and 178 indirect) Ips under VCD sub-component which

is 34.3% of lop target of 300 sMes/Fos. Indirect partners include Depot Committees, Area Cooperative enterprises, small oil millers and one-stop centres Association.

Financial services Development (FsD)

the Financial services Development subcomponent addresses the constraints associated with limited access to financial services, the limited availability of suitable financial products for agribusiness development, and the inability of many MsMes to develop bankable proposals. The FSD’s intermediate objective is to achieve “Increased availability and use of financial services through wider and deeper delivery mechanisms”. This objective underpins the development of the value chains supported by abi trust with financial services, which are not only limited to credit but include savings and insurance, to promote increased rural financial intermediation and development of the financial services sector as a whole.

FsD worked with the VCD subcomponent to support implementation of activities that would ultimately address constraints related to access to financial services for value chain actors. the key results chain interventions for the sub-component are broadly categorised as follows:

Value chain Baseline 2011 (USh) Achieved 2012 (USh) % Change Comments

Coffee 1,545,020 2,119,817 37.2%Supported IPs to enable farmers rehabilitate old coffee gardens that led to increased productivity and quality hence attracting better prices

Maize 515,767 1,872,000 263%Supported IPs to develop market linkages such as schools, millers, big buyers involved in cross border trade that led to improved sector performance

Sunflower 1,730,560 1,976,000 14.2%Support to IPs led to increased adoption of best practices that led to increased productivity and quality as well as demand from processors

Sesame 385,302 576,000 49.5% Supported GADC to go into contract farming hence provid-ing farmers an assured market at good prices

Soybeans 761,439 960,000 26% Supported farmers to increase production that attracted demand from processors

Beans 277,758 1,452,000 422% Support to IPs led to farmers adopting new varieties and use of rhizobia inoculum hence higher productivity

One of the factors that limit value chain actors’ access to finance is financial literacy21. to address this chal-

lenge, FsD collaborated with both licensed Financial In-stitutions (FIs) and member-owned savings and Credit

Cooperatives (SACCOs) to train 27,718 clients in financial literacy22. This generated a demand for financial servic-es leading to 5,475 new savings accounts opened in the supported FIs.

to bridge the gap between the demand and supply for financial services, FSD provided matching grants to 13 partner FIs to establish physical branches and six branchless delivery mechanisms (one Mobile Van and five ATM).

abi trust funded nine FIs to develop skills needed to competently identify available lending opportunities in agriculture, assess risks as well as develop innovative financial mechanisms. Besides skills development, FSD

supported four FIs to develop demand-driven credit and insurance products like crop and livestock for agribusiness to address the gaps between unsuitable products and risks for clients involved in agriculture.

output 2.2: Improvement of Financier skills and products for Financing Agribusiness

FSD supported 13 partner financial institutions to address the challenge of limited liquidity through developing new appropriate savings products, savings mobilisation campaigns, financial literature, office repositioning (mainly for the rural-based sACCos) to make them look competitive and appealing with the aim of building confidence to encourage low income earners

to save with them. this resulted into an average increase of about 20% savings volumes by the supported FIs. In collaboration with the investment unit, promotion to three partner FIs for the use of the AlGC loan guarantee23 was done with the hope of addressing risks associated with the agricultural finance. All loans and guarantee figures are reported by the investment section.

Number of New Branches Opened by Partner Financial InstitutionsPartner FIs opened 13 new branches to extend fi nancial services to rural areas and at least 24,827 new clients were recruited representing 121% achievement against the annual set target of 20,000 accounts. there was a signifi cant increase in the savings volume of USh 6bn and an increase in loan portfolio of ush 5.2bn. these results are for a period of seven months following an investment of ush 1.4bn for rural branch expansion. In addition, 91 permanent jobs were created through branch establishment.

Number of New Branchless Mechanisms Established by Partner Financial Institutions six out of the 16 FIs were supported to establish branchless delivery mechanisms to serve areas where establishment of brick and mortar branches were not economically viable because of overhead costs. bank of Africa (boA) was supported to procure and commission one mobile van to be deployed in northern uganda

and fi ve other partners supported to install fi ve ATMs in eastern and northern uganda. establishment of the targeted 16 branchless delivery mechanisms was hampered by poor management information systems in most partner FIs that could not support branchless delivery channels for outreach services.

Use of Insurance by Rural Clients of Partner Financial Institutionslion Assurance was facilitated to develop and integrate a crop insurance product in FIs with a rural presence; the product will be completed in the fi rst quarter of 2013. This will be the fi rst time such a product is available on the ugandan market with all previously agriculture insurance initiatives focused on the weather index. lion Assurance expects to cover crops estimated at ush 5.2bn by the end of 2013. Insured and supervised agriculture input credits will dramatically improve smallholder farmers’ access to loans at reasonable terms in addition to the expected impact on yield.

When Bank of Africa (BoA) received a grant of USh 218m from aBi Trust to expand its operations to Kalongo town centre Agago district, like any other commercial bank, BoA was afraid for its return on investment. The bank could not shy away from the remoteness of the area and the community’s perception of banking. One fact remained that the area was still underserved and using this opportunity, BoA defi ned a new type of business model and braced itself for the offi cial opening of Kalongo branch for business on 8th May 2012.

In a period of 8 months, over 1,800 accounts had been opened with a total deposit mobilisation of USh 3.2bn, 95% of the target. Savings accounted for 145% achievement of the set target. “We have embarked on an intensive fi nancial literacy and deposit mobilisation campaign and a sharp increase is expected in 2013” said Wilfred Kulanyi, Supervisor, Kalongo branch. In Kalongo town, there are ample business opportunities that can be tapped into given the growing number of SMEs and a 92% population that depends entirely on agriculture. The thirst for micro lending to support agricultural

value chains grows stronger by the day. An agricultural tailored fi nance product is much desired in this town, an area BoA has not yet embarked on. Risks associated with money movement and travel costs have reduced compared to when people of Kalongo used to travel long distances to Pader and Kitgum to access fi nancial services. There is change in personal fi nance management, record keeping, and business ideas activated by fi nancial literacy campaigns.

Mistrust in banking is still evident in this area; given that, BOA is still the only commercial bank in Kalongo. The community still engages in Cash box savings a common way of stashing money that usually comprises of a 30 member group. The numbers could have been more than 1,800 accounts opened but people’s willingness to access fi nancial services with BoA is hindered by the poor road network especially during the rainy season. A mobile banking unit would support the existing client base and attract more clients by taking services closer to them.

Deepening fi nancial services, a Branch Manager’s Tale




G4G’s goal is to increase incomes for women, youth farmers and entrepreneurs within value chains entirely supported by G4G. Mainstreaming gender in VCD organisations is through the following areas:

• promote fairer gender relations in value chains to increase their production and productivity

• Increased competitiveness of women and youth farmers and entrepreneurs

• Promote economic and legal justice for women • enhance quality, documentation, learning,

communication and dissemination

G4G achieved remarkable results in 2012 by promoting Farming as a Family business (FaaFb) which has brought household members together.

In 2012, 32 partners were supported under diff erent value chains. Approximately, 90% of these partners used the household approach to promote gender equality24.

table 10 illustrates the achievements realised.

Coff ee Value Chain to promote fairer gender relations to increase productivity in the coff ee value chain, aBi Trust supported eight partners who reached 17,310 HHs through trainings in gender relations, VslA, entrepreneurship, household visits and drama. It was reported that men are helping women with HHs chores and women are increasing their participation in the value chain activities as testifi ed below;

“I had abandoned my wife due to age, but after the gender trainings, I came back and started helping her with house work, our marriage has become more interesting than it was previously. Although society mocks me for helping her with household chores and they say that she bewitched me, I feel happier,” Mr. Muheki of butiti sub county Kyenjojo district.

Due to abi trust supported trainings in gender relations, there has been increased pooling of labour in families, which has led to timely harvesting of coff ee and reducing losses of coff ee at harvest time. This has led to improvement in coff ee quality and income in the homes as narrated by Mr. Kakuba Eriya of Kinguramazi Parish from Sembabule district;

“I used to work on the coff ee alone and it was a challenge especially harvesting and drying all coff ee. Some of the coff ee would remain in the fi eld wasted. After attending training on sharing roles in households, I decided to give my older wife her own coff ee shamba. She and the children then started helping me in coff ee. These days we are all involved and this has helped us to pick all the ripe coff ee berries and dry them properly which brings in more quantities and has attracted a better price. As a result, our home realised the highest amount of money from coff ee ever, and we have started constructing a permanent house and set up a shop for daily income.”

Maize six partners reached and trained in entrepreneurship and VSLA methodology; and three partners (Masindi DFA, Busia DFA and Maganjo Farmers Associations) reached 8,270 HH in GAp (line spacing, fertiliser application, timely weeding, use of hybrid seeds, among others), entrepreneurship and VslA methodology. Yields increased from 12 bags per acre to 23 bags per acre attributed to the use of improved maize varieties and increased acreage of land tilled through pooling labour as a household.

“It is ‘fair’ to make value chain development benefi t men and women equally and to make it contribute to greater gender equality. But it is also smart economics: women often play important (but invisible) roles in value chains, therefore they are an important factor in upgrading a value chain, they are also crucial for poverty alleviation as they are more likely to use increased income for the well-being of their family.” ApF Agri-Hub ethiopia 2012



Output 3.2: Increasing Competitiveness of Women and Youth Farmers and Entrepreneurs

G4G through 16 partners focused on women and youth empowerment for increased competitiveness and participation in agriculture and agribusiness. As a result of these interventions, 602 women have started businesses; women and youth are now fully engaged in planning and decision making at HH level; youth out of school have increasingly engaged in different

value chains; and those in schools have established 50 agricultural school clubs. A total of 10,420 HHs were trained in gender and rights, entrepreneurship, VslA and GAP. However, the sharing of benefits is still very slow with a need for regular follow-ups by change agents and continuous sensitisation through the media.

In Kayunga, eight groups26 were strengthened to improve the quality and production to meet unbs requirements in collaboration with sps & QMs. abi trust purchased processing equipment, hand operated machines, like juice extractors, maturation tanks, siphoning pipes and tubes, refractometer, stabiliser and probe thermometers, micron filter hand operated or gravity operated and bottle filling machine, among others, calibration of the equipment; solar driers and provided technical support in food safety and quality management to Kangulumira Area Cooperative enterprise.

P’KWI, a woman founded organisation has reached 2,510 HH27 engaged in sunflower production and have registered an increase in output from 150Mt to 380Mt. P’KWI received Kilimo HI Organic Mark certification for its processed oil and is waiting for product certification from unbs.

progress was made to increase the number of women groups involved in certified seed production under Victoria seeds. the women groups in northern uganda produced certified seed of sunflower, simsim, groundnuts, soybean and cowpeas. Contract seed production contributed to production skills improvement.

“Previously, I used to grow soybean from my 2 acres of land and would obtain little but after the trainings with Victoria Seeds in GAP, entrepreneurship skills and acquiring improved soybean Namsoy 4m seeds to plant on 2 acres, I have increased yields from 200 kgs to 1,400 kg. I sold at USh 1,300 per kg as compared to USh 700 per kg to Victoria Seeds, an equivalent of USh 1,820,000. I have managed to pay my children’s school fees, and started on building a permanent house. I intend to buy faster means of transport as well as saving for future farming.”

aBi Trust’s partnership with Straight Talk Foundation has increased youth participation and interest in agriculture especially in 50 schools covering seven districts in northern uganda.

the schools established demonstration gardens for maize, beans and vegetables and 10 schools opened

more land to produce food for pupil consumption. According to Action for Community Development (ACoD) uganda, positive attitude change among participating youth that are out of school towards agriculture has been reported, with more youth groups requesting to join the Agricultural Initiative Project in Apac and Dokolo districts. ACoD received applications from 20 new youth groups.

A research titled “Land titling as a driver to women’s economic empowerment” by uganda land Alliance (ULA) established that the major driver for economic empowerment of women farmers depends on agricultural enterprise they are engaged in. It is recognised that while women participate in agricultural production, they lack control of the proceeds of the enterprise. Women’s lack of access to land translates into a lack of access to fi nancing through banks when possession of collateral is a requirement. therefore, secure land tenure increases engagement in agribusiness and has translated into accumulation of other assets by women; especially for widows and single women. patriarchy entrenched in culture and fused with religion are a force to reckon with if tenure security for women is to be realised. the household approach therefore is a cause in the right direction.

Community dialogues and media have been instrumental in raising awareness of women’s rights to land. In addition, awareness on sexual Gender based Violence (sGbV) was raised. It is evident that the number of cases of women seeking to assert their rights over marital property in Northern Uganda (project area) is growing. FIDA Uganda was able to register 59% of the cases involved in land disputes although they were resolved amicably. Women are increasingly gaining access to and control of marital

property under this arrangement. based on the numbers of legal clients in northern uganda in cases that were mediated and successfully concluded, it is clear that women are asserting their rights28 as a result of legal literacy education received from FIDA. Clients 9,333 (4,488 women, 1,584 men, 1,855 male youth and 1,406 female youth) were registered out of which 851 cases were mediated and concluded by FIDA u and 68 paralegals.

The objective of this output is to document and disseminate lessons learned. below are some of the

activities that were undertaken in 2012.

1. aBi Trust newsletter titled “Women in Agribusiness” was published and disseminated to partners.

2. enterprise uganda conducted a trainers of trainees in entrepreneurship and 71 partner representatives (46 Male, 25 female) participated. The trainees received a certifi cate and an entrepreneurship training manual/materials to guide trainings in their respective organisations.

3. Mid-term reviews for both Masindi DFA and straight talk Foundation revealed an improvement in gender relations at household level by 35% and increased adoption of good agricultural technologies in households by 40%. there was also increased use of improved varieties, fertilisers, and pesticides29 in 50 schools.

4. G4G used diff erent means such as churches

28 9,333 clients (4,488 women, 1,584 men, 1,855 male youth and 1,406 female youth) were registered out of which 851 cases were mediated and concluded by FIDA and 68 paralegals.29 Going forward, the emphasis will be on ways to scale up the project, post-harvest handling and the establishment of VSLA.

Women participation in trainings and meetings has increased and they have become more empowered and their self-esteem and confi dence has increased and thus able to present in meetings within their communities.

“Since I got married, my husband was not supportive. I would labour alone with everything together with my children, but after listening to the infor-mation on Safari FM about gender issues, he has since become supportive. I now own some gardens and tools which had not happened before.”

and rural development programs like nAADs to tap into widespread awareness of the family approach to agribusiness.

5. the Gender policy was approved by the board of Trustees (BoT) to guide staff and partners on gender equality in implementation of all aBi Trust’s activities. policy dissemination to stakeholders attracted organisations for collaboration with G4G for networking and information sharing especially on its HHs approach.

6. abi trust acknowledges the impact of HIV/AIDs on the agriculture sector and only if the key HIV/AIDs

risks and impacts are analysed and addressed internally and externally, competitiveness of the private sector in agricultural development will be achieved. abi trust developed the HIV/AIDs policy to address the above challenge and will be approved in 2013.

7. thematic Illustrative materials have been used by partners to share knowledge and information among farmers.

8. Community dialogues spearheaded by change agents and media have been instrumental in rais-ing awareness of women’s rights to land and SGBV.

All G4G partners held 160 radio talk shows/programmes in their respective areas of implementation; these radio programmes were utilised to create awareness on joint planning, property ownership, land laws, FaaFB for increased HH incomes among others. the radio programmes were aimed at empowering women and youth to engage in commercial agricultural activities to improve production, productivity and prevent domestic violence.

Collaboration with Agro pro Focus on Gender and value chains training, mentoring and coaching was done and 50% of the coached partners were able to develop gender responsive monitoring and evaluation

tools under the guidance of Ms. Jacqueline Terrillon, snV/ApF international coach for the Gender in VCD coaching track. nine partners facilitated capacity in monitoring and evaluation tools development to collect sex-disaggregated data and monitor change at household, group and organizational levels; document success stories, case studies and other documentaries.

there was 30% increase in yields in the supported value chains due to better agricultural technologies and improved gender relations. Joint Planning, visioning and working together in households has led to increased incomes and development in homes as narrated below by Mrs. Katwere from buikwe sub county, Mukono district: “We had a shared vision of roofi ng our house with new iron sheets. The house needed 15 sheets then we agreed to use the sales from our maize in the fi rst season and we have acquired seven sheets. We hope in the next harvest to keep buying the iron sheets until we get enough.”

Women’s access to and control over resources and household incomes has improved as a result of joint planning; men have acquired trust in their wives and given them authority of control; as narrated by Mr. Katwere Fred, sugu parish, buikwe sub county Mukono district:

“Whenever I got the money I would spend it on non-productive ventures things like, drinking beer, going for other women among other things, but after learning that my wife had strength I started trusting her with my money and all the other assets. She keeps all the money and whenever we have an expenditure, she does it well according to plan. I see my family better than it used to be.”

sharing of workloads in households has strengthened relationships between spouses as narrated by Asiimwe Hanifa, of Hoima district Kitoba sub County, birungu parish in Kitesukura village said;

“Before attending gender training sessions, me and my husband would work in separate gardens. My husband would take all the produce for marketing but would not come back with the money after sale. I am happy that after the gender trainings we have now realised the

importance of working together, through joint planning, and management of our farming activities, we now share all the benefi ts of our work as a family and our children are studying well.”

Domestic violence has reduced due to joint planning and decision-making in participating households as narrated by Alice Ngasirwe – Bugamba Tukundane Group in Mbarara District.

position paper on solving problems of women access to fi nancial services. A draft was developed and shared for participants’ input. A fi nal position paper will be published in February 2013.

1,877 VSLAs have been formed and farmers borrow from them to pay school fees, boost their production and build houses. There is more group discipline and cohesion created by VSLAs. The VSLA approach has increased access to credit, and enabled HHs to meet their immediate fi nancial needs. In Mbarara DFA, average saving portfolio for VSLAs has grown from USh 3 million to 9.8 million as a result of farming households depositing more on VSLA savings accounts.

Village Savings and Loan Associations



“My husband used to sell family property without our consent and we used to quarrel and fight, but after attending a gender training facilitated by MBADIFA, the situation in our family has changed. Today, we sit and plan together and before selling, he seeks consent from family members first. This has cultivated a culture of good cooperation in our family and we have been able to meet school needs for our children. We encourage our children to work hard and they are happy with us.”

Women change agents have become more empowered taking on more leadership positions as narrated by Kisoma Sarah from Kangulumira in Kayunga District;

“Being a change agent led people to trust me and I was elected as secretary for women aff airs on the Local Council.”

support was extended to 1,748 change agents who act as intermediaries between partners and benefi ciaries, com-munity guides, back stoppers. they facilitated 36,000 HHs (72%) to develop joint plans that are being implemented.

progress in Investments unit

Investments In 2012, the Investments strategy was guided by the Investment Manual and by 31st December 2012, the total value of the fund was ush 78bn or DKK 164m, up from ush 61bn or DKK 128m as of 31st December 2011. The increase was due to money received in January 2012 as the fi nal portion of the 2nd tranche of the endowment fund amounting to ush 5.9bn or DKK 12m plus investment income amounting to ush 11.1bn or DKK 23m. the fund portfolio mix is indicated in table 11 contrasting its position as of 31st December 2011.

these funds were invested to earn an average return of 16.73%30 over the past 12 months against a target of 12.99%. the year started with a heavy bias towards the higher earning Treasury Bills and Shilling fi xed deposits (58% of fund) that were giving an average return of 19%. However, to align more to the aBi Trust objectives, a strategic decision was made to increase the portion of the fund in lines of credit, which attract a lower yield, but widen the scope to reach the underserved. this meant that some of the higher earning instruments were substituted in a bid to balance between the development

and sustainability objectives. As a result, Lines of Credit more than doubled in their proportion from 15% at the beginning of the year to 31% and were the single biggest investment item by 31st December 2012.

While attempts are always being made to align the investment mix to the one prescribed by the investment policy, it is not always achieved. At year-end, misalignment was deliberately in favour of lines of Credit at the expense of t-bills and shilling Fixed Deposits as illustrated in Figure 6.

Cross Roads InvestmentIn relation to aBi Trust’s contract to manage the Construction Guarantee Fund (CGF) on behalf of the DFID – CrossRoads programme, a fund of USh 7.2bn (£2m)

was received in February 2012. the same has since been invested to earn an average yield of 19.3% for 2012 as illustrated in table 12.

The Fund comfortably surpassed the unit’s target yield of 12.99%, and this was mainly attributed to the locking in of higher interest rates available in the earlier part of the year when the Central bank was still mopping up excess liquidity to fight inflation. Most of these investments are due to expire early in 2013 when the reinvestment rates are likely to be substantially lower as

inflation has since dropped from the mid 20’s to single digits. As shown in Figure 7, the Fund is almost perfectly aligned to what is targeted and the slight difference of 5% is skewed to the higher yielding USh fixed deposits. the cash was also kept at a bare minimum, given that it was not likely to require the liquidity in the short life of the guarantee scheme.

Lines of CreditBy the end of 2012, USh 23bn was outstanding with five Financial Institutions as lines of Credit for on-lending to agribusiness enterprises. by December 2012, 8,431 agribusiness loans worth ush 20bn were disbursed to agribusiness beneficiaries with an average loan size of ush 2.4m, falling short by 37% of the annual target of 13,300. the shortfall is largely attributed to some disbursements that were made late in the year and had not yet been fully drawn down. the shortfall should be covered in 2013 when these facilities are fully drawn down. At the same time, it is expected that at least ush 2bn will be disbursed to the sACCo consolidation

project, where about 15,000 beneficiaries are targeted.In the same period, a line of credit to improve the ratio of female beneficiaries was made available to a financial institution, the impact of which should be felt in 2013 when the facility is fully drawn down. the facility for primarily lending to agribusiness in northern uganda was approved, but not disbursed in the work plan period due to delays in the documentation, but it should be disbursed in the first quarter of 2013 to improve the dismal ratio of lending to northern uganda, which stands at 8%.

31st December 2012



The figures indicate a positive trend with an exception of the total number of new loans disbursed over the period being 19,902 (32% of whom were female) down from 22,612 in 2011. In spite of decline, two financial institutions were introduced in the last quarter of 2012, increasing the number of participating FIs from seven to nine. Given the substantial growth in value of new loans, the decline is explained by the increase in the average loan size from USh 1.4m to USh 2.1m for the two most active users on the scheme.

The first leverage ratio designed to determine the risk on the fund, indicates that there is still significant room for expansion in the guarantee limits or number of participating FIs. the second leverage ratio shows how the scheme has acted as a catalyst to lending 1.23 times the fund size and indicates that the 2013 target of 183.35% is attainable.

In the process of reviewing the Investment Manual late in 2012, it was agreed to separate the fund, which

indemnifies the Guarantee Scheme from the Lines of Credit. this should reduce the indemnifying fund to about ush 43bn, which according to the volumes generated today, would increase the leverage to 200%, hence surpassing the 2013 target and enabling the AlGC to realistically aim for leverage of 300% instead.

the claims settled in the reporting period were the highest since 2010, largely fuelled by the defaults in production sub-sector resulting from weather vagaries. nonetheless, at this point, the situation is not alarming given that claims to date were only 0.3% of the fund size as at 31st December 2012.

table 15 indicates that two Financial Institutions, A and D continue to dominate guarantee scheme activity. In a bid to improve overall utilisation of the scheme, two more institutions with similar approaches to Agribusiness lending were recruited in the last quarter of the work plan period, from whom more volumes are anticipated in 2013.

CrossRoads Construction Guarantee Schemeabi trust was contracted by the Crossroads programme to manage the £2m guarantee fund that supports the

road construction sector. table 16 details progress on the programme as at the end of 2012.

the Construction Guarantee scheme was launched in 2012 at the time when the main contractor (Government of uganda) was not issuing new contracts and was not paying contractors, which culminated in very low activity on the scheme. out of the six banks signed onto this programme, only two were active during the reporting period.

towards the close of the year, Crossroads and abi trust agreed that the marketing function be managed by abi trust to fully align it with other activities. It is believed that with increased training, this arrangement should help boost the figures in 2013. At the same time, CrossRoads finally agreed to include performance bid bonds as eligible for cover and is exploring possibilities of including Insurance companies in the programme as eligible financial institutions.

Monitoring and evaluation

Progress Towards Achieving DCED ComplianceDCeD is a Monitoring and evaluation standard of assessing progress of the interventions with emphasis on the use of the result chain. this standard enables the implementers to think though the expected results of the intervention through the five layers of the result chain such as intervention level, market trigger, market uptake, enterprise performance, sector growth and impact. abi trust expects to attain compliance to the DCeD standard by end of 2013.

abi trust embarked on a compliance drive with the introduction workshop on Donor Committee for enterprise Development (DCeD) standard for abi trust staff. By May 2012 all key staff positions had been filled

and staff trained in Measuring Results Management (MrM) based on the DCeD standard. From the onset, it was made clear to all staff that DCED is ‘part of the job’ and a useful instrument for MrM. result Chains (rC), one of the tools used in MrM, are now compulsory and part of project proposal submissions for approval by the Contracts committee. Staff use these RCs in its monitoring work when visiting partners and explaining them to partners as they sign their contracts with abi trust.

In 2012, much of the efforts were on developing RCs and Measurement Plans (MPs) for both new and old projects in all the sub-components. MrM was integrated into aBi Trust’s day-to-day activities and systems such as; developing the M&e Manual, developing appropriate data collection templates, aggregation of indicator data, monitoring visits and the logical framework matrix. over 60% of the rCs and Mps have been completed.

A mock audit on DCeD compliance was also conducted in December 2012. The objective was to assess the status of the MrM system at abi trust and recommend to management ways to improve it (where appropriate) and prepare for a full audit in october 2013. recommendations from the mock audit included conducting an impact assessment, emphasis to completion of result chains and measurement plans as well as development of aggregations sheets.

Linking M&E Database to Navision Systemabi trust contracted DataCare to support the management and maintenance of the M&e database. this support enabled the creation of a synchronised database with navision on a daily basis. to-date, the M&e system is able to read and display both the budget lines and expenses in the M&e database as requested by the user.

Grants Management Module FsD is currently using the Grants Management Module (GMM) to register grants that have been awarded. the plan is to roll it out to other sub-components, a process that will require staff orientation as well as refresher training.

GIS Modulethe M&e unit continued to collect data using the Global positioning system (Gps). this data included

locations of the demonstration plots, farmers’ groups, partner headquarters, and locations of existing Financial Institutions among others. It is recommended that the current GIs module should be upgraded to a higher version to enable better usage.

Third Party VerificationThird party verification team was brought on board to provide support to the M&e unit in verifying the performance data provided by partners and generate relevant and timely information for management decisions making, planning and tracking progress in order to improve service delivery. Monitoring and verification field visits for selected supported projects were conducted to validate implementation status, promote use of existing data collection tools, and mentor project implementers in results measurement.

A major outcome of these interventions has been the progressive improvement in the quality of performance reports from partners, which provide data for management decision making and learning. Verification reports on each project visited have also informed management decisions concerning capacity-building needs of partners, as well as need for sustained but focused monitoring and coaching on project implementation, and accountability. the M&e/MrM Manual was developed and it waits approval by the bot in April 2013.

Institutional Development

Corporate Governancethe nature of abi trust business, with management of trusted Capital and disbursement of substantial funds to implementing partners means that corporate governance arrangements and risk management procedures are critical.

the abi trust board of trustees (bot) held five meetings in 2012 with prior meetings of the committees (Audit and risk, Finance and Investment and Human resource). the terms of reference of the former Audit Committee was expanded to include more responsibility for risk and its name changed to



the Audit and Risk Committee to reflect the broader responsibility. the terms of reference for the Finance and Investment Committee were expanded to strengthen responsibility for Finance.

the bot welcomed a new trustee in the 4th Quarter of 2012, Mr. Warwick thomson who will represent the royal Danish embassy, Kampala on the bot. the bot carried out its first board evaluation in 2012, which was carried out by the Company secretary resulted in recommendations and commitments which were shared with the Founders and which have since been implemented by the BOT to make it more effective in its decision-making. the bot also participated in three in-house training sessions on corporate governance by the Centre for Corporate Governance in Africa, on risk management and on board dynamics, which were delivered by the Company secretary.

Other Activities in 2012 Included:• Revising the Trust Deed to reflect and strengthen

the governance best practices being carried out by aBi Trust, revisions that will be reflected in Governance manual.

• The Royal Danish Embassy’s (RDE) representative on the Founders Committee, Mrs. Mette bech pilgaard was added to the board of AlGC in the 4th Quarter of 2012.

• the collaborations with Crossroads, KfW and the rDe, Kampala were formalised in 2012 for the Crossroads Guarantee Fund, the rural Challenge Fund, and a Dairy Value Chain respectively.

• Corporate functions were strengthened by the addition of a corporate services function, including Human resource and a risk Management function.

Risk Management and Internal Control SystemHaving an effective internal control system is an integral part in the risk management process. In 2012, abi trust management continued to strengthen its risk management process with the development of a risk management framework that was approved by the bot. A risk assessment workshop took place and various risks identified and assessed. A Risk Register was developed and a risk Manager was appointed as an outcome of this workshop. risk management training was also

conducted for the bot. Management reviewed the key procedural manuals and revised the Human resource Manual and Investment policy Manual.

Internal Audit Functionthe Internal Audit function continued to play its role of giving assurance on the effectiveness of risk management, internal control system and governance processes. several internal audits were conducted during the year among which were human resource management, procurement, use of consultants, credit lines, loan guarantees scheme, information technology, fraud risk management and several implementing partners. Internal audit function also played a key role in resolving issues in the 2011 external audit, developing the risk management framework, risk assessment and developing of a risk register.

Corporate Services Functionthe Corporate services Department at abi trust emphasises the need to create an effective performance management culture and improving the Human resource, Administration and operational processes as well as the efficiency of the Institution. In August 2012, the Human resource Manual was updated in line with the labour laws of uganda and Human resource policies in line with best practices were approved by the HR Committee and circulated to all staff. A Corporate services Manager was recruited.

Financial performance versus budget

summary

Appendices I - III depict financial performance for abi trust and AlGC over the period 1st January to 31st December 2012.

total Assets grew by 46%, achieved on the back of attracting new sponsors like Crossroads with a capital injection of USh 7.3bn for the Construction Guarantee Fund and receipt of the rest of the endowment funding from the rDe. this amount was prudently invested to yield 19.5% over the year, which contributed to the impressive 134% growth in retained earnings.



In the statement of comprehensive income (Appendix III), total operating income was 15% above budget mainly on account of investments in fixed deposits which were above budget by 86%. These fixed deposit investments were made in a high interest regime and locked in for most of the reporting period. on the other hand, interest rates on lines of credit were more sensitive to market volatility, since they were reviewed mid-year to align to the market conditions. the fees on lines of credit were above budget due to attainment of a volume higher than budgeted. there were three new lines of credit in the year 2012 given to Centenary, uganda Finance trust, and uGAFoDe totaling ush 18bn.

Guarantee fees however, were below budget by 22% due to lower than budgeted volume against which the fees are charged. overall, the total comprehensive income was below budget by 8% because of the following:

1. revaluation loss of ush 0.4bn arising from book entries of foreign exchange received from rDe being made at a higher rate than actual rate prevailing at the point of exchanging into ush. Actual bad debt provisions exceeding budgeted position by 150%, because a prudent decision to book specific provisions as opposed to general provisions was made in recognition of the increased exposure to abi trust.

2. unplanned tax payment of ush 618m that was made after it was clearly communicated from the uganda revenue Authority that the tax exemption previously enjoyed would not be renewed.

Grant income comprised of proceeds from the rDe for implementation of program activities amounting to ush 34bn and other income of ush 48m relating to the assets handed over to the trust by DAnIDA.

the program budget utilisation was at 73% mainly because of sps&QMs and G4G underutilisation by 58% and 37% respectively. However, these funds have already been committed for expenditure in the year 2013.

Activities under the FsD and VCD sub components were generally on schedule. the unutilised funds under these sections have been committed and should be spent in the year 2013.

the trust operations Capital costs were generally within budget with overspend on budget lines like rent, where there was a rental increment of $3 per square meter and utility costs due to increase in staff numbers and recruitment costs.

Funding status

abi trust continued to develop towards sustainability by making an effort to continuously attract funds from other sponsors like social and institutional investors, development finance institutions, etc. who view aBi Trust as an appropriate vehicle for management of funds and programmes in support of the agribusiness development.

In 2012, two new sponsors, DfID and the royal netherlands Government signed agreements to collaborate with the aBi Trust. DFID’s CrossRoads programme contracted aBi trust to manage a Construction Guarantee Fund (CGF) facility of £2m to run up to end of 2014. The facility is aimed at providing guarantees to sMes in the road construction sectors through financial institutions. A fund of USh 7.2bn (£2m) was received in February 2012 and invested to earn an average yield of 19.5% 2012.

An agreement was signed under the Delegated Cooperation between royal Danish embassy and embassy of the Kingdom of netherlands to support the Dairy sector in uganda. the dairy value chain has been added as the sixth value chain having been approved by the bot to run for a period of three years. this assures the trust of receiving € 6.5m over the life of the programme of which € 1m was received in 2012.

the uganda rural Challenge Fund which is an initiative of the German Federal Ministry for economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), financed by KfW on behalf of the Ger-man Federal Government and established under abi trust, started with a kick-off meeting in November 2012 in Kam-pala. In attendance was KfW, abi trust, the Fund Manage-ment team of Frankfurt school of Finance & Management and Incofin. This assures funding of € 8m over three years.

the trust continued to earn management fees for its services from the Crossroads programme, and in 2013 from

lessons learned



Institutional Learningthe institutional structure of abi trust and AlGC has shown that it is an efficient and much needed mechanism for development partners and other investors to implement agribusiness development interventions. the combination of business Develop-ment Services and the availability of adequate financial instruments have given abi trust a competitive edge over the more traditional approaches that separate finance from the delivery of subsidised technical support in agribusiness development.

Value Chain Development there is a need to identify larger and stronger partners/sMes for implementation of the value chain activities. However, most of the partners in some of the abi trust value chain, in particular maize, horticulture, and beans are small in nature, which limits reinforcement of these sub-sectors. therefore, there may be a need to provide capacity building for partners in order to strengthen the value chain activities.

the original idea of making the DFA/Fos sustainable may not be achievable. It is therefore important to revisit previous views and strategies on Fos as potentially self-sustaining organisations to approaching them as service providers. A review of the existing DFAs will be carried out in order to assess their institutional strength and to reduce the number of appropriate implementation partners.

Financial Services DevelopmentSustained direct support to Tier 1 and MDIs financial institutions is not sufficient to improve access to financial services for the abi trust target clients who are involved at the production level. However, these financial institutions have a niche market in the sMe sector that provides a market link to the production end.

Inappropriate and in most cases the lack of technology within mainly rural-based FIs has hampered efforts to leverage the benefits of the fast technologically changing environment to improve rural access to finances32.

Placing expert personnel in partner financial institutions to train and mentor agriculture credit staff on understanding the business of smallholder farmers and loan appraisal is effective and more productive than general staff trainings, hence reduction in FIs reluctance to finance smallholder farmers.

The success of effective branchless delivery mechanisms greatly depends on a strong reliable management information system and economically viable platform. More effort is needed to advance ICTs/MIS with an emphasis on greater decentralisation of administrative services to improve the supply of financial services to smallholder farmers and rural enterprises.

An independent agriculture credit department in partner financial institutions with well-developed human resource is critical for the development and championing of new agriculture products, FsD will continue to support FIs to adopt setting up agricultural credit departments.

Supporting lower tier financial institutions with interventions aimed at increasing their savings base is key to reducing the cost of borrowing which is vital to lowering interest rates to the rural based and mainly smallholder value chain actors.

Value chain development is impossible without having adequately responsive financial institutions to provide funding for investment and business operations across different segments of the agricultural value chain. Effective access to finance by actors at each segment of the value chain requires improved synergy between finance providers and non-finance capacity builders. FsD will continue to facilitate strategic partners between value chain actors and FIs.

InvestmentsDue diligence conducted on several potential FI partnerships has revealed that there is an enthusiasm for equity or quasi equity arrangements that the trust could participate in as a mechanism for strengthening institutions to provide access to agribusiness financing

to target benefi ciaries. Loan guarantees continue to attract attention, and we are optimistic that provision of both portfolio and individual guarantees would continue to provide good vehicles for securitisation of primarily short-term loans. abi trust will continue and expand these programmes, although the direct risk exposure has to be managed carefully.

With many banks expanding into the rural areas, lines of credit to FIs for on lending to agribusiness have shown to be an effi cient vehicle for increasing rural fi nance and the deepening of fi nancial access for agribusiness. In its fi rst two years of operation, aBi Trust has experienced a rapid growth of its lines of credit portfolio, and it is anticipated that there will be an even stronger need during the business plan period.

Highlights for 2013



abi trust in 2013the coming year will be important for the future of abi trust and AlGC. the new business plan that will be presented to the bot and the board of Directors of AlGC will outline the revised structure for the two companies.

the u-Growth II, which constitutes the second phase of the u-Growth programme will be appraised in 2013 and this will determine programme formulation and sponsors.

the trust will begin to implement a three-year dairy value chain intervention that starts in 2013 initially targeting South Western Uganda. The major implementing partner is the uganda Crane Creameries Cooperative union (UCCCU), an umbrella dairy farmers’ Cooperative Union.

In 2013 aBi Trust will begin new financial initiatives, including the tier 4 Consolidation (SACCOs) project, which aims to establish a strong apex organisation of selected sACCos. In addition, the trust will undertake to develop products to address the current market failure to provide medium and long term financing in agribusiness, both in relation to production and value addition activities.

As part of its programme support, abi trust will begin to introduce new cross-cutting issues, such as Human Rights Based Approaches (HRBA) and Green Growth; recruiting the needed expertise to address these issues at the level of operational practice.

Value Chain DevelopmentInterventions on climate change will be introduced and strengthened across the supported value chains.

VCD will also continue to work with its existing 103 sMes and Fos/nGos to promote productivity, use of improved seed, use of pHH, use of GAp among the target of 108,635 farmers.

sps&QMs activities for 2013 will focus on three strategic areas:• the establishment and capacitation of two Coes to pro-

mote implementation and compliance to sps&QMs for market access in the priority value chains;

• promote implementation of standards in quality and food safety among 19 sMes and Fos and Industry Associations using trained certified service providers;

• support to the dissemination and the scaling up of productivity and quality, food safety enhancing technology among the 103 supported sMes and Fos.

Financial Services DevelopmentIn 2013, FsD will continue to support new and existing partners to implement the following activities:• roll out of consolidation of two Apex organisations

in support of lower tier FIs (uCCFs and ForMA)• Collaboration with lion Assurance for promotion of

crop and livestock insurance• linking 100 primary dairy societies to the mainstream

financial player for possible funding to cover their costs share of the dairy equipment being funded by abi trust

• Knowledge Management through training, mentoring and the Agriculture year book 2013

• technical support to the 20 sACCos under the consolidation project

Gender For Growth In 2013, G4G sub-component will continue to promote gender equality mainstreaming using the household approach;• Mentoring and monitoring of all the 32 partners in

entrepreneurship, advocacy, FaaFb• Conduct Exposure visits, Partners’ Forum and

stakeholder workshops• Documentation and dissemination of good practices,

success stories and innovations for publicity, learning and replication

• Development, publication and dissemination of gender messages

• publishing abi HIV policy, dissemination and sensitisation

Investmentabi trust will continue to manage its investment portfolio to attain the planned target yield of 12% in 2013. the investment strategy has been reviewed to take into



consideration the market changes, the new risks they create and possible approaches to circumvent them. All this is to contribute to the projected 37% growth in Net Comprehensive Income by the end of 2013.

Monitoring and EvaluationIn 2013, abi trust will transition to the DCeD standard of measuring management results. It will prepare for the accreditation of the DCeD standard of results measurement in private sector development by abiding by the eight control points and compliance criteria in the Version VI DCeD manual.

preparations for the DCeD Audit will be prioritised targeting start off activities in October 2013. aBi Trust will undertake five Impact assessments in the five supported value chains immediately after the main harvest season in 2013.

through the M&e unit, abi trust will continue to monitor and coach supported interventions using field visits as well as validation checks with implementing partners to verify data and the performance of projects. For the purposes of shared learning, the M&e unit will also conduct an end of grant evaluation for all completed projects to assess their impact.

the M&e system will also be improved by adopting GIs reporting digital photos and Gps points for each of the partners.

Risk Management and Internal Control System In 2013, the risk management framework will be rolled out and operationalised. the risk register will be reviewed and updated, risk champions identified and appointed in the various departments and /or areas and key risk indicators will be developed and monitored. risk training of the various stakeholders in the risk management process will be top on the agenda to ensure clear understanding of their respective roles in risk management.

Internal Audit In 2013, internal audit work will be guided by International standards for the professional practice of Internal Auditing and the internal audit plan that was

developed, discussed with management and approved by the bot. the internal audit plan for 2013 is based on the risk assessment and risk register that was developed in the first half of 2012. The focus of the internal audit will be Grants management process, the audit of implementing partners and giving assurance on the enterprise Wide risk Management among others. the internal audit function will continue to coordinate with other assurance providers like the external auditors, value for money experts and the third party programme activities verification consultant.

Human Resource aBi Trust’s performance management framework has been developed and will be presented to the Human resource Committee in February 2013 with the aim of creating a performance oriented culture by defining, measuring, managing and improving individual employee performance by recognising and rewarding results. the performance management process will be directly linked to the overall abi trust business success with individual employee objectives being set in alignment with the aBi Trust corporate objectives, creating a shared understanding of the achievements required by each employee and to strengthen the sense of collective responsibility to aBi Trust’s overall success.

the performance framework has been developed to focus on:• Individual, team and organisation• Identify with performance-Drivers• Design of systems, training on performance, as well

as coaching and mentoring• ensuring that performance is measurable

benchmarking best practice especially in the areas of:• Guiding the Goal setting process• Supporting staff to develop individual development

plans• Counseling• Continuous Feedback• Assessments and Appraisals

In January 2013, the unit will embark on setting up strategic initiatives at abi trust in the areas of Human resource strategy, Change Management, Attraction,



recruitment and retention, Industrial relations and employee relations, organisation review and Development, learning and Development, remuneration and Incentive schemes, Organization Structuring and Communication to support the Trust’s strategic achievement and business outcomes.

Communication Strategythe abi trust Communication strategy is designed to manage and optimise information fl ows among agribusiness actors in uganda. the strategy provides approaches of informing and demonstrating the abi Trust’s relevance in the Agricultural and Financial sectors. Communications will be reinforced in 2013 building on initiatives that commenced in the second half of 2012. the trust will embark on various approaches to enhance its visibility and provide relevant agribusiness information through mainstream media, an important vehicle as we conclude u-Growth I.

In 2013, eff orts will be made to demonstrate results, through knowledge sharing of best practices and lessons learned from u-Growth I. tools for sharing knowledge will be widened in consideration of area coverage, dialect and local preference as recommendations

to implementing partners. the trust will continue to disseminate information through its Website, bi-annual Magazine, Annual reports, quarterly reports, newspaper articles, radio and television programmes to stakeholders and the general public.

abi trust will continue to collaborate and partner with sector agencies to create buy-in especially using the existing structures to intensify farmers’ knowledge about abi trust. Implementing partners will be introduced to communication activities that will enhance the Trust’s visibility at the grassroots.

the marketing activities of the Investments arm will be prioritised especially after the restructuring in to abi Finance. Infomercials will be produced to clearly separate the roles and target publics of each entity.

the M&e unit will guide on a diversity of knowledge that will ultimately incentivise new pathways to knowledge and learning. this will enable communication of emergent impact. abi trust will continue to maintain its brand identity aligning and associating itself with repute as transparent and accountable to its stakeholders and the general public.
