Lessons from One Acre Fund’s First Uganda Pilot
In 2008, One Acre Fund conducted a pilot in eastern Uganda, which was its first pilot program outside of Kenya. The program worked with 40 farmers over two years, offering a core loan package of fertilizer and a quarter-acre of bean seed in the first season, and fertilizer and a quarter-acre of maize seed in the second. The program ended after following the 2009 season due to low farmer enrollment and operational challenges.
