Influencing for a Just and Resilient Food System led by small-scale farmers

Eastern and Southern Africa Small-scale Farmers’ Forum (ESAFF) was formed in an effort to create a Forum to bring together small scale farmers into a social movement to influence for favourable agriculture policies and practices at
global, continental, regional, national and local levels.

Since formulation, ESAFF Uganda has become the largest small-scale farmer-led advocacy movement in Uganda with a membership of 12588 small-scale farmer community organisations in 54 districts.

ESAFF Uganda is also part of a bigger network of small scale farmers in the other 15 countries in eastern and southern Africa. ESAFF Uganda is also part of La Via Campesina (LVC) which is the largest peasant organisation in the world.

We are proud to present our 2024 Impact Video, a reflection of our collective efforts to elevate the voices of small-scale farmers and drive transformative change.

In 2024, ESAFF Uganda deepened its commitment to food sovereignty, climate resilience, and farmer-led advocacy. Through strategic partnerships, community mobilization, and evidence-based campaigns, we continued to empower small-scale farmers—especially women and youth—to actively shape policies, strengthen agroecological practices, and build resilient local food systems.

This report highlights key milestones achieved across our core thematic areas, innovation, and leadership from the grassroots level, where farmers are not just beneficiaries but powerful agents of change.
