Policy Brief: Integrating a food systems approach in Kampala’s urban and peri-urban agriculture policies and practices

Global Food and Nutrition Security

The purpose of this policy brief is to propose concrete entry points and policy guidance to promote a systemic approach to UPA in Kampala, based on a mapping of existing initiatives, actors and policies in the city, and to increase knowledge and awareness of UPA’s contribution to sustainable food systems. It also makes the case for investing in multi-stakeholder collaboration, between multiple sectors and multiple levels of government to strengthen UPA in Kampala. The methodology used to prepare this policy brief involved a review of the literature and existing regulations, discussions with key staff at Kampala Capital City Authority, a multi-stakeholder consultation and discussion with key UPA actors in Kampala and an analysis of input collected from the members of Food Rights Alliance.
