Brief on the DSIP Triggers •

renewed recognition of the fundamental importance of agriculture to the Ugandan economy

•

Prosperity for All policy with its goal of improving the lives of all Ugandans and the preparation of the five year National Development Plan that prioritises agriculture

•

CAADP (6 % annual growth rate for the agricultural sector; to increase the share of the national budget to 10 percent

•

It provides a „roadmap‟ to guide government, the private sector, farmers‟ organisations, other civil society stakeholders and Development Partners to make public interventions that will help meet the key objectives of growth, food security and poverty reduction in the agricultural sector

Vision “A Competitive, Profitable and Sustainable Agricultural Sector The Development Objectives of the DSIP are (i) Rural incomes and livelihoods increased; and (ii) Household food and nutrition security improved

The Immediate Objectives (i) Factor productivity (land, labor, capital) sustainably enhanced; (ii) Markets for primary & secondary agric products within Uganda, the region and beyond developed and sustained; (iii) Favorable legal, policy and institutional frameworks (iv) MAAIF and Agencies functioning as modern, clientoriented organizations

OPERATIONALISATION OF THE NON ATAAS COMPONENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND INVESTMENT PLAN MEAT IMPLIMENTATION FRAMEWORK PLAN

Background and scope •Livestock is 17 % of the Agricultural GDP. •Contribution to GDP declined from 1.6% in 2005/2006 to 1.5% in 2006/2007 and remained at the same level in 2007/2008. •The GDP of the livestock sector grew by 3% annually from 2006/2007 to 2010/2011. •Livestock population stands at 12.841 million cattle, 14.012 million goats, 3.842 million sheep, 3.584 million pigs and 42.133 million chickens (UBOS Statistical Abstract 2011). •About 93.6% of Uganda’s cattle herds are indigenous whereas 0.8% are beef exotic/cross breeds and 5.6% are dairy exotic/cross breeds •80% of the livestock is owned by smallholders with herds of 5-100. •The large ranches account for only 2% of cattle. •Output per animal in terms of meat production is very low. •Despite a number of interventions since 1986 progress is far below country's potential.

The overall objective of the meat sector programme is “to accelerate production of meat and attain a 7% per year growth rate by the end of five year period through supporting beef cattle, goat and poultry enterprises”.
