From the article:

The United States, through the Feed the Future Advancing Local Leadership, Innovation and Networks (ALL-IN) program, has launched a new research project that will build evidence on what works to strengthen the empowerment and resilience of smallholder women farmers in Uganda.  

 

The three-year, $450,000 project, led by Makerere University, will test ways to transform and improve smallholder women farmer’s resilience to agricultural shocks and enhance their economic empowerment. The project will focus on stress-tolerant seeds and fertilizer, training on climate-smart agriculture, business skills, and low-cost crop insurance.
