Ensuring Access and Control of Productive Resources
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.

​Community Agroecology Schools (CAS) are community-based learning
centers where farmers share their experiences and knowledge on managing natural resources and agricultural production and later replicate in their farms. ESAFF Uganda has so far established 37 Community Agroecology Schools in the different districts in the country which are promoting the transitioning to agroecology.
In this video, Community Agroecology Schools in Kasese district showcase the different agroecological practices that they use to ensure food security, nutrition, environmental protection and conservation as well as improving the livelihood of members. Working closely with local leaders including Extension Officers, Community Agroecology Schools are influencing policies from local to national levels, and benefiting from government programs in the region.
By 2033, ESAFF Uganda plans to have over 100 Community Agroecology Schools. These will act as centers of excellence in terms of practices, innovations, information and generation of ideas to inform policy processes.
